Lord Steven Regal addresses the Nitro audience! (63)

As the show opens, Regal is in the ring with a mic in one hand and his Drive Championship in the other.

Regal: “Good evening and welcome to another glorious edition of WCW Monday Nitro. This week you have a special treat, as I, the Sunday Drive Champion…greatest of all the WCW Champions grace your humble show with my presence. Now…I would not simply tease you with but a mere appearance as if I were some street tart…no, for I am a fighting champion. Now the rules prevent me from defending my championship on any show other than Sunday Drive, however I am more than willing to give a good thrashing to any bloody toe rag in the back. So, if anyone in the back would like to come face to face with a real champion, then by all means do come out and receive a royal thrashing.”

 

Steven Regal discards his robe and awaits a challenger. A fluttering wing sound fills the arena as a bald man walks out to the ring.

Lord Steven Regal declares loss on Nitro a fluke! (50)

Regal comes down to the ring with a mic in his hand and his Drive Championship slung over his shoulder.

Regal: Let me just say that what you witnessed on Monday Night Nitro was nothing more than a fluke. As I understand it, sun shines on a dog’s posterior once in a while. So, there is little cause for concern when a bloody toe rag like Christopher Daniels overcomes the near insurmountable odds and defeats a world class athlete like myself. As I said on Nitro, I am a fighting Champion and this week on Drive I will defend this title against a real opponent…Scott “Flash” Norton. This is someone who, unlike Mr. Daniels, can give me a true challenge. Now, I know what you’re thinking…so tonight I will put an end to all the doubts and defeat Christopher Daniels so soundly, he will retire from this sport and return to his previous job of washing car windows at the off ramp.

WCW Commissioner Robert Fuller is in the ring with a mic and a smile.

Fuller: Welcome back to Saturday Slam! I hope you all are enjoying the show as much as a pig enjoys slop. Now later on tonight we have The Nature Boy Ric Flair challenging Sting for the single most prestigious title in professional wrestling, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship! Now, ever since Starrcade we have been denied the knowledge of just who the better wrestler is between these two. In order to provide you all with a definitive answer to that question I have decided to make tonight’s match, a No Time Limit Cage match! Tonight, without threat of interference, we find out who the true champion really is!

Flair: Sting let me tell you something boy…I was the man when you were still braces, making lame attempts to pick up pretty girls. Girls…who would have killed you for a chance to ride Space Mountain baby…woo! Tonight, I add another notch on my belt, another tick in my win column, and ten more pounds around my waist…because tonight I walk out of Slam as the new World Champion...and there isn’t a damn thing you can do or say about it brother.

As far as the interviews go, I liked what you did. Yes you could go with a summary and that would be fine as well but I would much rather see what you did with the Regal promo. I will say that I am more of a fan of promos and angles than I am of match write-ups so my opinon is a tad bit bias when it comes to promos.

Ric Flair: Take a good look at the men standing before you. Arn Anderson…Double A, master of the Spine Buster, and my cousin and best friend for the last ten years. He has held so many championship belts it would take the rest of Nitro for me to list them all. Next up is Paul Wight. He is the biggest athlete to ever compete in WCW. He may be the only ride in the park to match the size of Space Mountain! He is pure domination rolled up into human form…woo! Then we have Chris Benoit. The so called Canadian Crippler…well buddy, the only thing you have crippled lately is the image of the Horsemen! That is why, without a shred of doubt in my mind, I’m kicking you out of the Horsemen! Get out of my ring…get out! Be lucky we’re letting you walk out and not letting the EMTs get a workout carrying your deadweight out on a stretcher!

 

Chris Benoit has a look of disgust on his face as he reluctantly walks out of the ring.

 

Ric Flair: Well, it would seem the Horsemen are short a member…Dean Malenko, you have expressed interest in joining the 4 Horsemen. Over the last few weeks I have been watching you very closely and I must say you just might have what it takes, however you don’t just walk into the Horsemen. You have to earn your spot…you have to prove you are the very best of the best. You have to be elite brother. Now, as you saw with Chris, we make mistakes brother. We had high hopes for that boy and he didn’t live up to them, and quite frankly we can’t have that happen again. So, if you really want to be a member of the Horsemen, then prove it tonight by beating Chris Benoit like a red headed step child. Can you do that Dean?

 

Dean: If you really need me to answer that then I don’t deserve to be a Horsemen Ric. You want Chris beat, then I’ll beat him…simple as that.

 

Ric makes the 4 Horsemen sign to Dean who makes it back before watching Arn, Ric, and Paul head to the back and awaiting the return of Chris Benoit.

I really liked the Ric Flair promo. It reminded me a lot of the promo that the Horsemen cut on Sting when they kicked him out of the group. Which was one of my favorite promos/angles of all time I would rank it up there with Andre turning on Hulk (Which might seem cheesey now but it was still great.).

Sting/Vader press conference recap! (100!)

We see clips from the press conference for the Sting/Vader championship match at Clash of the Champions ’96 this Sunday on PPV. During the clips we hear WCW Commissioner Robert Fuller mention that Vader and Sting can not have physical contact until the match at Clash of the Champions ’96. He goes on to say that if either one violates that order, then that person will be removed from the match. That person will also be banned from competing for the World Title for a year.

Dean Malenko with Kimberly defeats Dustin Rhodes with Dusty Rhodes! (83)

Dean and Dustin traded arm drags and leg whips in the middle of the ring as Kimberly and Dusty cheered their respective worker on. Dean seemed to be one step ahead of Dustin and several times Dustin was forced to grab the ropes to break a submission hold. Dean finally was able to hook Dustin in a Texas Clover Hold but Dustin managed to make it to the ropes, however Kimberly distracted the ref and allowed Dean to pull Dustin away from the ropes. Dusty saw this and hopped up on the apron, getting the ref’s attention. Dustin inched his way to the ropes again and Kimberly used the distraction by Dusty to pull the bottom rope out of Dustin’s reach and letting Dean move him away yet again. Finally Dustin had no choice but to tap out.

Sting tells Vader he can’t wait for Sunday! (100!)

We see Sting standing in front of a WCW: Clash of the Champions ’96 banner with his WCW World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder. Sting has a fierce look in his eyes and he begins to speak slowly.

 

Sting: Vader…Vader…Vader! How many swings and misses are you going to take before you get it through your head that you can’t defeat the Stinger? You can put the Stinger down for a little while. You can jump the Stinger from behind and knock the Stinger out. Heck, you could even deliver a patented Vader Splash to the Stinger while he’s locked in a Figure Four! You can do all that Vader…but when it comes to beating me 1, 2, 3 in the middle of the ring…that is one thing you can’t do! This Sunday you get another shot at my WCW Championship and once again you will come up just a little short!

The wily vet Stan Lane starts things off with Stevie Ray. Stan is unable to match the power of Stevie but he is able to utilize his experience to stay out of Stevies grasp while delivering some high impact offense. Stan and Bobby use a series of quick tags and old fashion teamwork to isolate Stevie and deliver a few shots to Booker. When Booker gets the tag he clears house and sends Stan over the ropes into the arms of Stevie Ray. Stevie delivers a huge Ghetto Slam to Stan outside the ring while Booker hits Bobby with a Ghetto Blaster for the win.

You say I can’t beat you in a wrestling match, well, you may be right. However, this Sunday at Clash of the Champions ’96, it’s not going to be a wrestling match. It will be the fight of your life. You see Sting, it’s time for a new champ in WCW. It’s time for you to go off into the sunset. Your time is up Sting now…it’s Vader time!

Pro Wrestling Insider Report

Incident between Dallas Page and Meng

 

According to sources close to WCW, Diamond Dallas Page and Meng got into a heated argument before Saturday Slam. It is being reported that Page ran into the rental car of Meng with his motorcycle. When Meng confronted Page about it, Page refused to even consider paying for the damages. WCW President Bill Watts was seen talking to Page following the incident and although we do not know the exact words exchanged it is being reported that Bill let Page have it and reminded Page that he was not too big a star to get rid of. Word from inside WCW is that Page’s loss to Eddy Guerrero was part of his punishment and it appears Page will be kept off Nitro and Slam for a few weeks.

Arn Anderson and Paul Wight walk out to the ring looking like they are both in a foul mood. Arn and Paul ask for mics and a ring tech hands then both one.

 

Arn: Now I’m not sure whose oversight it was, but how can you have a WCW pay per view and leave off two members of the 4 Horsemen? How can you call yourselves the best damn wrestling company on the planet and not feature two of the best damn wrestlers on your show?

 

Wight: Did you really think that Arn Anderson and myself would sit in the back and watch losers like Kevin Sullivan get air time? You should have known we would be out here looking for a fight.

 

Arn: And that is exactly what we’re out here doing. So why don’t you send any two ja-mopes you have in the back to the ring so we can demonstrate to each and every one of you why we are Horsemen and your not!

Orndorff: Paul Wight…I brought you into this company and I feel personally responsible for the chaos you have been causing as of late. As of right now, I am making it my mission to either free you from the 4 Horsemen or take you out permanently!

Ron Simmons is in the back taping up his fist as he sees the camera and looks up.

 

Ron: Ric…I know your watching this, just like everyone else in America, so turn the volume up and listen very carefully. What you had that big goofy sucker Paul Wight do to me on Saturday Slam will look like a love tap compared to what I do to you in the ring tonight. Imma beat you so bad your own momma won’t be able to identify your body! You might call yourself the dirtiest player in the game…but what good is that compared to the Deadliest Player in the Game Ron Simmons?

Ric Flair tells Ron that tonight, Simmons learns to respect his betters! (100!)

We see Flair step out of limo and kiss a hot girl on the lips before closing the limo door and walking toward the arena. Flair stops before the entrance door and looks at the marquee then he turns to the camera.

 

Flair: Sting vs. Vader! It should read, Live for one night only, the greatest wrestler to ever lace up a pair of boots, Ric Flair! As for you Ron, you’ll learn first hand the same lesson I taught to countless people in the past. You can be big and bad like Ernie Ladd but when you step in the ring with Ric Flair you’re going down like James Brown! Woo! After I whip you in the ring, I’m going to take your old lady and show her what a real man is all about. Then Sting, I’m coming to get my World Championship back…woo!

Ric Flair defeats Ron Simons! (89)

Ric Flair demanded the ref check Ron for foreign objects before he would get in the ring and as Ron picked up his left leg to let the ref check his boot Ric hit Ron with a chop block from behind. Ron held his leg in pain as the bell rang and Flair worked on the injured leg of Ron. At one point in the match Flair slammed the injured leg of Ron into the corner post and the ref was about to stop the match but Ron asked to be able to continue. Ron battled back and was about to nail Flair with a Dominator but his leg gave out and he couldn’t pull the move off. Flair eventually locked Ron in a Figure Four Leg Lock for the win.
