Beejus · February 11, 2014

Nash vs Jarrett vs Booker has some very interesting possibilities, I like it.

Scott Steiner vs. Scott Hall vs. Diamond Dallas Page - Non Title

Steiner needs his momentum.

Davey Boy Smith vs. Rick Steiner - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

Konnan vs. Mike Sanders - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Shane Helms - WCW Cruiserweight Championship

I do really like Rey moving away from the division now, lets guys like Helms have their chance to shine.

Air Raid vs. KroniK - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

Paris and Styles can have a time, but that time isn't now.

BG James and Dustin Rhodes vs. The Jung Dragons - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

TheBigBad1013 · February 18, 2014

This is the official 48 hour warning before the show goes up. If anyone else wants to get their predictions in for Nitro, that's roughly how long you've got to do it.

The Lloyd · February 18, 2014

I am SURE I'd done this... why does that keep happening?!

Scott Steiner vs. Scott Hall vs. Diamond Dallas Page - Non Title

Davey Boy Smith vs. Rick Steiner - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

Konnan vs. Mike Sanders - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Shane Helms - WCW Cruiserweight Championship

Air Raid vs. KroniK - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

BG James and Dustin Rhodes vs. The Jung Dragons - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

Henderson · February 18, 2014

Scott Steiner vs. Scott Hall vs. Diamond Dallas Page - Non Title

- Steiner does need the momentum going into Starrcade, but I don't see it as a clean win.

Davey Boy Smith vs. Rick Steiner - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

- Tough choice, but it looks like you've got more planned with Bulldog than you do Rick.

Konnan vs. Mike Sanders - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

- Once again, you can get more mileage out of Sanders than K-Dawg.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Shane Helms - WCW Cruiserweight Championship

Air Raid vs. KroniK - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

BG James and Dustin Rhodes vs. The Jung Dragons - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

- I'd rather see the Jung Dragons win. I've got them as my champs in my game and they actually make pretty good champions.

ajcrible · February 18, 2014

Scott Steiner vs. Scott Hall vs. Diamond Dallas Page

If Vince Russo's booking this one, I'd smell a swerve. But as it stands, Big Poppa Pump needs some momentum going up against Goldberg. Holla if ya hear me.

Davey Boy Smith vs. Rick Steiner - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

Either of these men in a ladder match scares me.

Konnan vs. Mike Sanders - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

Mike Sanders strikes me as a more interesting character. I like that you dumped the "Above Average" moniker.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Shane Helms - WCW Cruiserweight Championship

Chavo just got the belt, though I think his feud against Rey is at an end.

Air Raid vs. KroniK - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

Squishy squashy.

BG James and Dustin Rhodes vs. The Jung Dragons - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

I prefer the Jung Dragons, but I think BG and Dustin need something to do at Starrcade, since you've booked them pretty strong so far.

TheBigBad1013 · February 19, 2014

So I was writing the show and a certain segment made me realize that I really want to post a particular piece of music (from youtube) in relation to that segment....but I have no idea how to actually do that <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Anyone out there know how to do it?

Beejus · February 19, 2014

You find on youtube where it says "Embed" under the share heading, and copy/paste the HTML link it gives you.

Keep in mind that it won't look like it's showing up in preview or when it's first posted, but when you post it and go back to the topic again (hit refresh) it will show.

delv213 · February 20, 2014

Scott Steiner vs. Scott Hall vs. Diamond Dallas Page

Steiner's the champion, Goldberg could come out and unintentionally spear someone giving him the win+momentum.

Davey Boy Smith vs. Rick Steiner - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

I was disappointed Davey Boy got a win in my first prediction over Bagwell despite having numerous should be drug problems affecting his in ring work. I shan't fall for the same mistake twice!

Konnan vs. Mike Sanders - US Title Number One Contender Qualifier

Sanders is young and looks like Jeff Jarrett, book this guy to the moon!

Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Shane Helms - WCW Cruiserweight Championship

Chavo just won the belt. I hope for him that he isn't a transitional champion.

Air Raid vs. KroniK - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

Anything but a squash has me throwing my remote through my T.V. Styles and Paris aren't ready to fly it to the top. No pun intended. Their gimmicks were awful.

BG James and Dustin Rhodes vs. The Jung Dragons - Tag Team Championship Qualifier

The second generation stars should take this.

Standing next to the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner, who proudly shows off the World Title belt that is draped over his shoulder, Bischoff begins by saying that last week he issued an...invitation, if you will, to Lex Luger to show up here on Nitro tonight if wanted any chance in hell of avoiding criminal charges for his actions at Mayhem. He then informs everyone that "time's up" and demands that Luger joins them in the ring immediately--that is, if Luger did indeed manage to work up the courage to be here tonight at all! A few moments of silence follows and then the crowd breaks out into a "LUGER!" The chant continues for several seconds until.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/LexLuger5.jpg The chants turn into an outright pop as "The Total Package" Lex Luger makes his way out from the backstage area. Eric Bischoff is smiling smugly in the ring as Luger slowly makes his way down the entrance ramp and up the steel steps. Then he hesitates for a moment before cautiously entering the ring through the ropes and finding himself face to face with the entire Elite. Bischoff says he half expected Luger to have run all the way to Mexico by now, but apparently he does still have some semblance of a backbone left in him. Emboldened by the obvious strength in numbers, Bischoff then continues by saying that the only reason Lex Luger is here tonight is because he has an offer to make him, one that he can't refuse unless he really is as dumb as he looks. He says that Luger has to pay for what he did at Mayhem, and after giving it some serious consideration Bischoff has come up with a way where he doesn't have to settle for just ending Lex Luger's WCW career, but where he can actually put an end to his miserable career altogether! What Bischoff is talking about is that, at Starrcade, it could be "The Washed Up, Expired Care Package" Lex Luger versus...."The Future" Sean O'Haire....in an unsanctioned, no rules, everything goes match! Bischoff says that, for Luger, this is a chance to get even and to finish his career in WCW at the biggest pay per view of the year. But for The Elite, and especially for Sean O'Haire, this is a chance to be the man who forced Lex Luger to retire from professional wrestler. A chance to end his career. And for Eric Bischoff and WCW...this is a chance to finally make a little bit of money off Lex Luger by putting his forced and highly brutal retirement out there on pay per view for the world to see! And just so we're clear, Bischoff continues, there is absolutely NO chance of Luger getting his WCW contract back in this match. None whatsoever. This will be Luger's final match ever because "The Future" Sean O'Haire is going to make sure that Lex Luger is never able to wrestle ever again. So, what's it going to be, Luger? A match at Starrcade? Or criminal charges for trespassing and assault? Bischoff is grinning from ear to ear as he lowers the mic and everyone in the building is anxiously awaiting Luger's response. As Luger contemplates his options, Tony Schiavone is heard saying that this is not right at all! Luger has to either pick between entering into a match in which there are no rules, a match where absolutely anything and everything goes, against a man whom he knows is intentionally trying to permanently injure him, or face criminal charges for his actions at Mayhem. Mike Tenay agrees, adding that, once again, Eric Bischoff is looking to profit off of other people's misfortune, and the fact that Bischoff actually WANTS Sean O'Haire to end Luger's career is downright sickening. Dusty Rhodes agrees as well, but adds that even though it does not justify Bischoff's actions, Luger did bring this on himself by doing what he did at Mayhem. In the ring, Lex Luger seems to have made up his mind as he grabs a mic of his own. Luger says that there is only one person in this world that he wants to get his hands on more than Sean O'Haire right now--and that's Eric Bischoff! Bischoff quickly takes a step backwards to hide behind Scott Steiner, but Luger just laughs it off. Luger then says that he owes Sean O'Haire one hell of a beating for screwing him over and costing him both his career in WCW and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship...and he would be more than happy to give him that beating at Starrcade!!!! The crowd explodes with cheers as Lex Luger versus Sean O'Haire is officially set for Starrcade, but their excitement is short lived as The Elite suddenly attacks Luger in the ring and the cheers turn into boo's almost immediately! Luger tries to fight back, but with four to one odds against him, he is not very successful and The Elite beats him down and all four guys are putting the boots to Luger while Eric Bischoff watches from the sidelines, smiling approvingly. But then..... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BillGoldberg2.jpg The man is here!!! Goldberg rushes down to the ring, slides inside and dives into the fray without hesitation as everyone in the building is going absolutely crazy! A thrust kick sends "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair flying through the ropes and out of the ring, and a hard right hand punch knocks Sean O'Haire down to the mat and he quickly rolls out of the ring....SPEAR!!! Goldberg just Speared the hell out of "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett and now Goldberg finds himself face to face with the man he will challenge for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner! The excitement in the arena climbs to an all new high as the World Champion and the Number One Contender is about to get it on....but then Steiner drops down to the mat and rolls out of the ring. The crowd boo's as Steiner retreats back up the ramp along with the rest of The Elite, while Goldberg points at Steiner and screams at him that "He's Next!" © http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/TonySchiavone3.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/MikeTenay3.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/DustyRhodes.jpg We cut to the announce table where we find, as always, Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay and Dusty Rhodes. Tony welcomes everyone to another exciting edition of WCW Monday Nitro and what a start we have already had to the program; Lex Luger versus Sean O'Haire at Starrcade in an Unsanctioned Match where absolutely anything goes, and how about Goldberg single handedly driving The Elite from the ring and saving Luger from what would no doubt have been a brutal beatdown. Dusty says that he hopes Luger gives Sean O'Haire the whuppin' he deserves at Starrcade, and we then cut back to ringside for our first match of the night. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36487" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/RoadDogg.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/DustinRhodesIggy.jpgvs.http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/JimmyYang.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/KazHayashi.jpgw/http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/LeiaMeow.jpg Our first match of the night saw BG James and Dustin Rhodes facing off against The Jung Dragons to determine which of the two teams would earn themselves a spot in the four way elimination match for the vacant Tag Team Titles at Starrcade. The match wasn't exactly memorable and it came to an end just short of the six minute mark when BG James hit a Piledriver on Yun Yang and that was enough for the three count and the win. BG James and Dustin Rhodes defeated The Jung Dragons at 5.54 by pinfall when BG James pinned Yun Yang following a Piledriver.

Take a look at this... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ReyMysterioMask.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/DevonStorm.jpg The video starts off with footage from a match between former WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Misterio Jr., and Crowbar from the WCW Monday Nitro preshow. Everyone seems to be enjoying the faced paced, competitive match between the two when suddenly.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ScottHall2.jpg Out comes Scott Hall. Hall makes his way down to ringside where he just stands and watches the action in the ring for a while, but of course that doesn't last. Hall turns, grabs a mic and then he heads up the steel steps and into the ring...with the match is still going on. Rey Misterio Jr. hasn't noticed Hall when he turns around and....BAM! Scott Hall nails Rey Misterio Jr. with the mic and a loud thud is heard from the impact of the live mic against the head of Rey Misterio Jr. The referee calls for the bell, officially DQ'ing Crowbar and awarding the match to Misterio due to interference. Scott Hall: Hey Yo....let me tell you something, Rey...the last person in this company that you want to go around threatening...is Scott Hall! In case you haven't noticed, I do whatever I want....whenever I want! If I want to interrupt your match, I'll do it. If I want to interrupt your match again after you bitched to me about it, I'll do it. And if you don't like it....if you've got a problem with me, Rey....don't sing it...bring it! Hall then drops the mic and leaves the ring as officials rush down to the ring to check on the condition of Rey Misterio Jr. while Scott Hall leaves the ring again. We then cut back to Tony, Mike and Dusty at ringside. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/TonySchiavone3.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/MikeTenay3.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/DustyRhodes.jpg Back at ringside, Tony says that apparently Scott Hall didn't get Rey Misterio's message last week about respect because he just keeps disrespecting him. Dusty adds that Scott Hall never respects anyone, never has and probably never will. Mike Tenay says that, while that is true, he also does not think that Rey Misterio Jr. is going to back down from this, so he is interested to see what exactly is going to happen with this situation. One thing is for sure though; Rey Misterio Jr. has put himself on Scott Hall's radar by standing up for himself. Time will tell if he will come to regret that. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/MikeSanders.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/StacyKieblerHeel.jpg Back in the ring it is almost time for our second match of the night as Mike Sanders makes his way to the ring alongside Stacy Keibler as his match is up next. But just as Sanders enters the ring, Tony informs us that we are cutting to the back where there apparently is some commotion going on.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/Konnan2.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BamBamBigelow2.jpg In the back, we see Bam Bam Bigelow pounding away on Konnan, throwing him into the walls and generally just roughing him up. Bam Bam then grabs Konnan and drags him down the hallway and out onto the entrance ramp as the crowd boo's. Bigelow drags Konnan all the way down to the ring where Mike Sanders is patiently waiting, and as Bigelow rolls Konnan into the ring the referee has no choice but the call for the bell and get the match underway.

Most of this match consisted of Mike Sanders toying with Konnan, taunting him every step to the way. To Konnan's credit he did try to fight back, and he did manage a couple of decent comeback attempts but, in the end, Mike Sanders hit the 3.0 on Konnan and picked up the win and a spot in the Ladder match at Starrcade.

Kanyon says that he just stopped by to wish DDP good luck in his match tonight, and he speculates that maybe a win would help to put DDP on track for a World Title shot in the near future. Diamond Dallas Page says that he doesnt know about that and that, right now, he is just focused on the match at hand. He thanks Kanyon for the well-wishes though, and returns the favor by wishing Kanyon good luck in the US Title Number One Contenders Ladder match at Starrcade. DDP says that he has all the faith in the world in Kanyon and that he definitely has the skills and the talent to get the job done at Starrcade. Kanyon thanks DDP for his well-wishes as well, and before anyone can thank anyone else we cut back to ringside for more in-ring action (B-) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36487" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BrianAdams2.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BryanClarke.jpgvs.http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/AJStylesffx.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/AirParis.jpg The third match of the night marked the return of the exciting young tag team Air Raid to the WCW main roster as the youngsters looked to grab themselves a spot on the Starrcade card and a shot at the WCW Tag Team Titles. The odds weren't exactly in their favor, however, as they went up against the much more established team of Brian Adams and Bryan Clark--KroniK. The raw energy of the youngsters had Adams and Clark on their heels in the early parts of this one, the speed of Air Styles and Air Paris proving difficult for the bigger, stronger team of KroniK to deal with. KroniK did eventually manage to ground Air Raid, and despite a strong showing by the youngsters, Adams and Clark hit their High Times double team finisher on Air Paris for the win. KroniK defeated Air Raid at 5.39 by pinfall following a High Times on Air Paris.

It's a perfect fit with where I'm going with Sting. All credit for the theme itself goes to the guy who made it http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/Sting24.jpg A new, remixed version of Sting's old crow theme starts playing throughout the arena and the man himself, Sting, walks out from the back and heads to the ring with a look of determination on his painted face. Tony Schiavone sets the stage by telling everyone that Sting made his return to WCW one week ago after having been gone for a month following his third and final match against Scott Steiner in the Three Stages of Hell series, and Mike Tenay adds that Sting seemed to pick up right where he left of last week by taking the fight to The Elite and he wonders what Sting will have to say tonight. Once inside the ring, Sting gets on the mic and says that he has seen a lot over the years in WCW, but he has come to the sad conclusion that some things never change. Even though the company came to the very brink of death, the people in charge still doesn't get it. Eric Bischoff doesn't get it. He just keeps playing his games, picking his favorites, building stables and screws everyone who isn't part of his little circle. Sting says he saw it with the nWo and it's the same thing that is happening now with The Elite. The corruption is still running rampant in WCW and the company needs to be cleansed of this corruption if it is to have any chance of recovering and being again what it once was. Sting says that he is back for one reason and one reason only and that is exactly that; to cleanse WCW of the corruption that has slowly been killing the company for years now. Greed, arrogance, selfishness...if WCW is to survive and thrive again, all of these things much be purged from the company. And right now there is one man who embodies these negative traits more than anyone else. One man who is the prime example of everything that is wrong with WCW today. One man who Sting says has truly been sickening to watch over the past four weeks. And that man is...."The Nature Boy" Ric Flair! Sting says that, while he and Flair have had their differences over the years, he has always respected Ric Flair because he was a competitor. Because he loved the business, he loved WCW and he was true to himself. True to what he believed in, and even though Sting didn't agree with him, he respected for that. But look at Ric Flair now. Allying himself with Eric Bischoff? A man who has done nothing but try to destroy Ric Flair. A man who made sure that Ric Flair could never again challenge for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. And yet, there was Ric Flair, standing side by side with Eric Bischoff as part of The Elite. Sting says that Ric Flair has forgotten everything that he once was. That Flair has been corrupted by Eric Bischoff and The Elite and now Ric Flair is the epitome of everything wrong with WCW today. And if Sting is going to clean up WCW once and for all, he has to be willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means going after someone he once respected more than anyone else in the business. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/RicFlair2.jpg "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's music suddenly starts playing and Flair makes his way out from the back with a mic in his hand. Rather than joining Sting in the ring, however, Flair remains on the entrance ramp and his music eventually dies down. Flair says that Sting doesn't know what he is talking about. The Elite is doing what they are doing exactly because they want to ensure WCW's future success and well-being. What they are doing is in the best interest of the company and that is why Flair decided to join Eric Bischoff and The Elite. Flair says that he was willing to put his personal issues with Eric Bischoff aside because Eric Bischoff is the future of WCW and Flair says that he plans to be a part of that future, and if Sting was smart, if he truly cared about WCW, he would consider joining them. Sting immediately fires back that he would never join Eric Bischoff and The Elite....and the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair that he knew wouldn't have done so either. Sting says that the man he is talking to right now is a fraud...and he is going to prove that and expose him for the fraud that he is....at the biggest event of the year! He wants to face Ric Flair at Starrcade!!! The crowd explodes with cheers over Sting's challenge, and once the cheers die down a bit Flair asks Sting if he really wants to face "The Nature Boy" at Starrcade? Well, be careful what you wish for, Stinger, because you've got it! Nobody calls "The Nature Boy" a fraud! He is the stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! And if Sting wants another in-ring lesson from "The Nature Boy" then Flair will be more than happy to embarrass Sting on the biggest stage in all of professional wrestling! The challenge is accepted! WOOOOO!!!!! © http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/TonySchiavone3.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/MikeTenay3.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/DustyRhodes.jpg With the entire building still buzzing from the huge match that has just been set between Sting and Ric Flair at Starrcade, we cut to the announce table where Tony, Mike and Dusty have some thoughts of their own on this huge announcement. Tony says that Sting and Ric Flair have had some of the most memorable matches in the history of WCW and he is excited that he will get to see them face off against each other again, he just wishes that it was under friendlier circumstances. Mike Tenay says that the relationship between Sting and Flair seems to be coming full circle as many people believe that it was his legendary matches against Ric Flair that put Sting on the map on WCW, and now it seems that Sting may end up being responsible for taking Ric Flair off the map in WCW, or at least it sounded as though that might be Sting's intentions. Dusty Rhodes adds that Sting seems somehow different. That there is an edge to him that wasn't there before and he wonders just how far Sting is willing to go to "save" WCW. We then cut back to the ring for some cruiserweight action. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36487" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> WCW Cruiserweight Championship http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/WCWCW.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ChavoGuerreroJr.jpgvs.http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ShaneHelms.jpg Shane Helms was the other major victim of Scott Hall's actions at Mayhem as it was Helms who ended up getting caught off guard by Chavo Guerrero Jr. during the chaos that surrounded the match due to Scott Hall's interference. Tonight Shane Helms got a second chance to become the Cruiserweight Champion and it was obvious that he planned to make the most of it. In what was a very even, highly competitve cruiserweight match, Helms put in a strong showing and it generally looked as if it was his night...that is, until the champion, Chavo Guerrero Jr., countered a Shane Helms move into a surprise rollup and, putting his feet on the ropes for additional leverage, Chavo managed to get the three count on Helms, who kicked out literally a split second too late. Chavo Guerrero Jr. defeated Shane Helms at 8.07 by pinfall with a surprise rollup while using the ropes for leverage.

Tony Schiavone complains loudly about Chavo Guerrero Jr. once again cheating his way to victory, saying that a worthy champion does not have to resort to cheap tricks to get the job done. Mike Tenay agrees, but Dusty Rhodes says that wrestling is all about doing whatever it takes to win and Chavo Guerrero Jr. has proven that he is both willing and able to break the rules in order to accomplish his goals--and he does it without getting caught, which isn't easy.

It was a psychically intense and hard-hitting matchup between two tough veterans, and while it was rarely a pretty match, that intensity more than made up for it and the crowd seemed decently into this one.

The Elite, minus Scott Steiner, is brawling with Goldberg and Booker T. Lex Luger and Kevin Nash are there as well, and while Luger seems to be on the same page as Goldberg and Booker, Nash seems to be on the same page with no one but himself and he is hitting anyone and everyone who comes near him.

The crowd absolutely loved seeing three megastars facing off live on Monday Nitro and all three men responded by putting in solid performances. Each of the three men had their moments to shine during this one and everyone scored at least one near-fall during the match. But as the match neared the ten minute mark, the landscape of the main event changed in a rather unexpected way as.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ReyMysterioMask.jpg Rey Misterio Jr. made his way to the ring! The crowd popped for Rey as he, rather unsurprisingly, went right after Scott Hall. Hall, caught completely off guard, was struggling to keep up with Rey's high octane offense and the crowd, and the announcers, were loving every minute of it. Tony Schiavone was heard saying that turnabout is fair play and that Scott Hall brought this upon himself by repeatedly disrespecting and mocking Rey Misterio Jr. Rey and Hall eventually battled their way up the ramp, turning the main event from a three way match to a one on one match between Scott Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page. The two went back and forth for the next several minutes, neither man able to maintain control for any real length of time, and the crowd was firmly behind DDP. In the end, however, not even the amazing crowd support could help Diamond Dallas Page when the World Champion caught him with a Steiner Flatliner and picked up the three count and a strong win. Scott Steiner defeated Diamond Dallas Page and Scott Hall at 15.30 by pinfall when Steiner pinned DDP following a Steiner Flatliner (B) </div></div></blockquote> http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ScottSteiner.jpg Following one hell of a main event, Scott Steiner stands tall in the ring as he is handed the World Heavyweight Championship and he hoists it high above his head just to remind everyone that he is still the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, even though the title wasn't on the line tonight. The crowd boo's loudly, clearly not having much love for "Big Poppa Pump", but the boo's suddenly and abruptly turns into cheers as..... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BillGoldberg2.jpg GOLDBERG IS HERE!!! The number one contender rushes down to the ring, apparently having battled his way through The Elite in the back, and Scott Steiner immediately drops his title and readies himself for a fight. Goldberg slides into the ring and the two powerhouses collide in the center of the ring where they exchange punches and the crowd goes absolutely crazy! Several referee's are seen running down to the ring and as they are attempting to pull Steiner and Goldberg apart, Tony informs us that, unfortunately, we are out of time!....(C+) Final Show Rating: B- TV Rating: 0.51

delv213 · February 22, 2014

Scott Steiner vs. Diamond Dallas Page- Non Title

Need to keep this guy hot, DDP isn't booked for Starrcade yet so it doesn't make sense for him to go over.

The Outsiders vs. Rey Misterio Jr. and Billy Kidman

Nash uses creative control if he's booked to lose, I assume. So that's not happening.

Buff Bagwell vs. Ernest Miller - US Title number one contender qualifier

Buff needs some momentum, especially after jobbing to British Bulldog at the last event.

Jamie Knoble vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. - US Title number one contender qualifier

Chavo's already got a belt.

Jim Duggan and Norman Smiley vs. Perfect Event (Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak) - Tag Team Title qualifier

I'd like to read Smiley getting in a Big Wiggle for jokes before he inevitably gets pinned.

Konnan vs. El Mesías

New face, new momentum needed.

Beejus · February 22, 2014

Scott Steiner vs. Diamond Dallas Page - Non Title

I can't really see Scott dropping any matches on the run to Starrcade.

The Outsiders vs. Rey Misterio Jr. and Billy Kidman

Rey can look really good here though, and close the gap between his and Hall's overness for a Starrcade match.

Buff Bagwell vs. Ernest Miller - US Title number one contender qualifier

With Davey Boy already in, Buff being in as well makes sense so they can keep up their feud a little.

Jamie Knoble vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. - US Title number one contender qualifier

Chavo would make a decent double champ if it came down to it.

Jim Duggan and Norman Smiley vs. Perfect Event (Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak) - Tag Team Title qualifier

Now we just need Jindrak to come back around!

Konnan vs. El Mesías

I don't think El is over enough for Konnan to not be pissed about losing the match. I look for it to go to K-Dawg in a DQ or countout.

WCW News

All four titles to be defended at Starrcade

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/WCWStarrcade99.jpg

WCW owner Eric Bischoff has just released a statement saying that all four WCW championships will be defended at Starrcade. Lance Storm, the current WCW United States Champion, is already scheduled to be part of the WCW Tag Team Championship match, and Eric Bischoff has confirmed that, if Storm is still the US Champion in two weeks, then he will have to compete twice in one night. The same also applies to the Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero Jr., if Chavo manages to secure a spot in the US Title number one contender match this week on Monday Nitro. The challengers for the US and Cruiserweight Championship title matches at Starrcade will be revealed following this week's edition on Monday Nitro.

Scott Steiner vs. Diamond Dallas Page - Non Title

Building up momentum for Starrcade

The Outsiders vs. Rey Misterio Jr. and Billy Kidman

Kidman takes the loss as the Rey/Hall feud continues.

Buff Bagwell vs. Ernest Miller - US Title number one contender qualifier

Despite your apparent fondness for the former members of Totally Buff, I see the Cat qualifying here.

Jamie Knoble vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. - US Title number one contender qualifier

Knoble has not done enough to warrant a spot in the US title match.

Jim Duggan and Norman Smiley vs. Perfect Event (Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak) - Tag Team Title qualifier

As much as I love the Hacksaw Wiggles, Palumbo and Stasiak are a better fit in your tag division.

Konnan vs. El Mesías

How do you say "squash" in Spanish?

Tony informs everyone that Nitro is coming to you live from the sold out Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida and he says that, with Starrcade just two weeks away now, you can really feel the excitement in the air. Mike Tenay says that tonight we will find out who the final participants will be in both the US Title number one contender Ladder match and the Tag Team Title four way elimination match, the matches that will both be taking place at Starrcade. Dusty says that as excited as he is for Starrcade, there is still two editions of Monday Nitro to go and he can't wait to see what will happen tonight right here in Daytona Beach! We then cut to ringside where the first match is about to get under way. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36487" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/JamieGibson.jpgvs.http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ChavoGuerreroJr.jpg The first match of the night saw the Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero Jr., taking on Jamie Knoble with a spot in the US Title number one contender ladder match at Starrcade on the line, a huge opportunity for the two cruiserweights. The match was a pretty even one with Knoble coming out strong early on, but Chavo Guerrero Jr. would eventually take control of the match using his usual antics of bending the rules to shift things in his favor. In the end, Chavo Guerrero won the match when he locked Knoble in the Gory Special submission hold and Knoble had no choice but to submit.

Luger, who faces Sean O'Haire at Starrcade in an unsanctioned match, looks focused as he makes his way toward the door to the building, but someone is already standing there, waiting to greet him. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/EricBischoff3.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/SeanOHaire2001.jpg A smiling Eric Bischoff and a menacing looking Sean O'Haire stands watch outside the entrance to the building, watching as "The Total Package" approaches them. Bischoff, still grinning, informs Luger that he is not welcome in the building tonight and that he will have to leave the premises. Luger replies that that is ridiculous, but Eric Bischoff reminds him that he is no longer a member of the WCW roster and that it would be irresponsible for Bischoff to allow just anyone to wander the halls of the building during their shows. Luger hesitates, pondering his options, but before he can make a decision one way or the other, a slew of security guards march up to him and Bischoff instructs them to escort Luger out of the building and to make sure he does not come back. Luger is then escorted out of the building, much to Bischoff's delight, as we cut back to ringside (D+) http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/Konnan2.jpg Back at ringside Konnan makes his way toward the ring as he is in action next against the mysterious El Mesías. Konnan happily plays to the crowd and he receives a decent reaction from the sold out arena but then, completely out of nowhere, Konnan suddenly goes down as if he had just been shot! The cheers for Konnan quickly turns to boos as.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/RickyBanderas2.jpg El Mesías stands above Konnan, having just viciously ambushed the man! But El Mesías isn't done just yet as he picks Konnan back up and starts laying into him with some vicious right hand shots. Konnan, caught completely of guard by the ambush, is completely defenseless and utterly at El Mesías' mercy....and it seems that El Mesías has no mercy as he just keeps pummeling Konnan. El Mesías pulls Konnan to his feet once more and sets him up for his dreaded Sit-out Crucifix Powerbomb finishing move....and he absolutely drills Konnan with it and Konnan lands hard on the unforgiving entrance ramp. As El Mesías stands tall above Konnan, staring eerily at him with his cold eyes, Tony Schiavone is heard saying that El Mesías just destroyed Konnan for the second time and Mike Tenay adds that last time El Mesías attacked Konnan we didn't see Konnan again for a month! Dusty Rhodes rounds things off by commenting that El Mesías is one scary looking individual. As referees and trainers rush to Konnan's side it is obvious that the scheduled match between Konnan and El Mesías is not going to happen here tonight (D-) http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BookerT.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/KevinNash2002.jpg Following the chaos at ringside we cut backstage where Booker T is seen walking through the backstage area when he is suddenly approached by none other than one of his opponents in two weeks at Starrcade, "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash. Booker immediately readies himself for a blindside attack from Scott Hall, but Nash says that he's not looking to fight Booker--at least not tonight, anyway. Booker obviously doesn't believe Nash, but Nash says that he and Booker T have a lot in common. As far as Nash is concerned, it should be Booker T versus Kevin Nash at Starrcade because they both deserve a chance to become number one contender. But Jeff Jarrett doesn't, and the only reason Jarrett is even in this match is because he is part of The Elite. Nash says that he and Booker T should make an alliance to make sure that The Elite doesn't screw them over at Starrcade. But Booker T isn't too high on that idea, saying that he saw how Nash turned on his tag team partner, Diamond Dallas Page, so why would he ever want to trust Nash with anything? Booker says that he isn't interested in being in an alliance with the kind of man who would stab his friend in the back without a second thought, and he would rather take his chances on his own than to rely on someone like Nash to have his back. Booker then walks off, leaving Nash looking somewhat...concerned, maybe?

It was obvious from the get-go in this one that Palumbo and Stasiak meant business and they put in an impressive showing, dominating large parts of the match. In the end they did also manage to pick up the win and complete their successful return to the roster when Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak delivered a perfectly placed Double Superkick to Hawksaw's jaw and that was enough for the three count and the win.

DDP doesn't look particularly happy to see Bischoff, and that feeling only increases when Bischoff brings up the fact that Diamond Dallas Page is not booked for Starrcade yet. DDP says that he is well aware of that, but Bischoff says that he might see fit to change that IF Diamond Dallas Page does something for him in return, but before Bischoff can even make his offer, DDP says that he has no interest in making any kind of deals with the devil. Bischoff seems amused by the devil comparison, but he advices DDP that it might be time for him to start thinking about his future because right now he is going nowhere fast. DDP replies that Bischoff doesn't need to worry about him because when he beats Scott Steiner tonight, Bischoff will have no choice but to add DDP to the World Title number one contender's match at Starrcade. Bischoff shoots back that he is the owner of WCW--he always has a choice! But DDP won't be able to beat Steiner tonight so it's not going to matter, anyway. Bischoff then encourages DDP to think about what he said, and then he leaves the locker room again and DDP goes back to his preparations, shaking his head and laughing a bit to himself at Eric Bischoff's comments.

Sting stares at Goldberg for several seconds before wondering out loud if Goldberg truly is what is best for WCW, if Goldberg truly has what it takes to lead WCW back to the promised land and reclaim it's lost glory. Goldberg says that all he cares about is beating Scott Steiner and winning the World Title, but Sting says that that isn't good enough. He says that he came back to WCW for one reason and one reason only; to purge the taint and the corruption from the company so that it can thrive and prosper once again, and he will do whatever it takes to make sure that it happens. Sting says that it is time for Goldberg to stop thinking about himself and start thinking about what's best for WCW, because if it turns out that Goldberg as the WCW World Heavyweight Champion is just as wrong for WCW as Scott Steiner as the World Heavyweight Champion, then Sting will not hesitate to do what must be done. An intense moment of silence follows as the two megastars stares each other down, and then Goldberg finally breaks the silence by saying just three tiny words; "Just try it!". Goldberg then pushes past Sting and walks off as Sting stares after him with a look on his face that is impossible to read (C+) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36487" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ErnestMiller.jpgvs.http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BuffBagwell2.jpg With Chavo Guerrero Jr. qualifying earlier in the night, one final spot remained in the US Title number one contender ladder match at Starrcade and that spot was on the line in this one as Buff Bagwell took on "The Cat" Ernest Miller.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is in the locker room as well and he is ranting and raving about what Sting said to him last week. Flair says that he practically carried WCW on his back for years and for Sting to question "The Nature Boy's" dedication to WCW is nothing short of offensive to him. Steiner, who seems more annoyed by Flair's ranting than anything else, tells Flair to do something about it, then, because he's got his own issues to deal with, but Flair just ignores Steiner's words and continues his ranting until.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/EricBischoff3.jpg Eric Bischoff joins them in the locker room. The WCW owner tells both Steiner and Flair to relax and take it easy because he's got everything under control. Goldberg will not be walking out of Starrcade as the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and Sting will once again find himself beaten at the hands of "The Nature Boy". Bischoff says that he's got it all figured out, and that when all is said and done at Starrcade, The Elite will stand stronger than ever before. Steiner and Flair both seem somewhat appeased by Bischoff's words, and as Bischoff prepares to explain himself further we cut back to ringside, cruelly robbing everyone of insight into the WCW owner's plans.

The Outsiders make their way to the ring while Tony Schiavone quickly brings everyone up to speed on the recent issues between Scott Hall and Rey Misterio Jr. which has led to this match being booked for tonight's show. Mike Tenay talks about the fact that Nash and Hall have been talking about bringing new members into the nWo, but so far it is still just The Outsiders and Tenay wonders what the future might hold for the nWo. Once inside the ring, Scott Hall grabs a mic and goes to speak...but then he waits for it, milking the moment for a bit before finally doing his trademark "Hey Yo". Hall says that he told Rey Misterio Jr. to be careful who he messed with, but apparently Rey didn't listen to him. He says that when Rey Misterio Jr. interfered during the main event last week, he officially sealed his own fate. Hall says that for a guy who talks so much about respect, Rey Misterio Jr. doesn't show a hell of a lot. But Hall says that he is going to change that because he is gonna beat some respect into Rey Misterio Jr. at Starrcade! That is, if Rey is man enough to actually face him. Hall says that it's time for Rey Misterio Jr. to put up...or shut up! Hall then drops the mic and motions toward the entrance ramp, waving for Misterio and Kidman to come on down.

Hall looked more than willing to grant Rey that request, only to turn around and tag in "Big Sexy" instead, much to Rey Misterio's frustration and The Outsiders' amusement. The smile quickly faded from Nash's face, however, as the speed of Rey Misterio caused Nash no small amount of trouble and Rey was always one step ahead of "Big Sexy". The Outsiders eventually managed to slow the pace of the match down to a level that was more preferential to them, but Rey and Kidman never stopped fighthing back which made for an exciting and, perhaps to some, surprisingly competitive match. The finish to this one came when Kevin Nash caught Billy Kidman as he came off the top rope and reversed Kidman's move into a devastating Jackknifer Powerbomb while Hall and Rey Misterio were fighting outside the ring. The Outsiders defeated Rey Misterio Jr. and Billy Kidman at 9.29 by pinfall with a Jackknife Powerbomb on Kidman © </div></div></blockquote> http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/KevinNash2002.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ScottHall2.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ReyMysterioMask.jpg With the match over and Billy Kidman down and out on the floor of the ring, Kevin Nash joins in the fight between Scott Hall and Rey Misterio Jr., turning it into a two on one assault and they quickly beat Rey Misterio down. Hall then positions Misterio for the Outsiders Edge and, with Nash doing the classic nWo finger point, Scott Hall delivers the Outsiders Edge to perfection and the nWo stands tall in the ring, receiving heavy boo's from the crowd as Tony Schiavone is heard saying commenting that the nWo's, and especially Scott Hall's, disrespect of Rey Misterio Jr. has, unfortunately, continued here tonight. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ScottSteiner.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/DiamondDallasPage.jpg Following the nWo's brutal beatdown of Rey Misterio Jr., a quick graphic is shown hyping up the upcoming main event matchup between Scott Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page as Tony informs us that this match is up next live on Monday Nitro!

And it was a good one. DDP came up short last week in the three way match that also involved Scott Hall, and it was obvious from the get-go he was determined to come out on top tonight. The match went back and forth throughout it's 14+ minutes of action as both men absolutely refused to lose this one. Unfortunately for Diamond Dallas Page he was dealing with The Elite and so.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/JeffJarrett.jpg "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett suddenly made his way down to ringside, much to the crowd's displeasure. Jarrett lurked at ringside for a few moments and then, with the referee's attention on a complaining Scott Steiner, Jarrett blasted DDP in the head with his guitar outside the ring and rolled him back into the ring where Steiner could easily hit the Steiner Flatliner and cover Diamond Dallas Page for the three count and the win. Scott Steiner defeated Diamond Dallas Page at 14.06 by pinfall with a Steiner Flatliner following interference from Jeff Jarrett (B) </div></div></blockquote> http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BillGoldberg2.jpg As soon as the match is over Goldberg runs down to the ring and goes right after The Elite, not hesitating at all in spite of the two on one disadvantage. Unfortunately for Goldberg, however, he is unaware of the fact that he had been followed down to the ring by... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/RicFlair2.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/SeanOHaire2001.jpg Ric Flair and Sean O'Haire! The two jump Goldberg from behind and it is now a four on one assault--odds that not even Goldberg can manage to overcome, it seems, in spite of his best efforts to fight back. But wait.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/BookerT.jpg It's Booker T! Booker hurries to the ring and joins the fight, providing some much needed backup for the number one contender....but it is not enough. The numbers advantage of The Elite is simply too much for Booker T to deal with on his own and he ends up on the floor of the ring as well as Steiner, Jarrett, Flair and O'Haire continues their assault. The announcers are heard complaining loudly about the actions of The Elite, but then..... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/KevinNash2002.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ScottHall2.jpg The Outsiders are here! Nash and Hall are out on the stage, watching the beatdown unfold in the ring as the crowd urges them to hurry down to the ring to join the fight. They start walking toward the ring....but then they stop, turn to each other and exchange a few words....and then they turn around and leaves again! The crowd is booing The Outsiders loudly, while Mike Tenay says on commentary that this is typical of The Outsiders; they don't give a damn about anyone but themselves and this is exactly why no one else has joined the nWo so far. With Nash and Hall now somewhere in the back again, the brutal beatdown continues inside the ring and the crowd is slowly starting to realize that all hope seems to be gone. That is, until.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/Sting24.jpg The new version of Sting's crow theme starts playing and the crowd damn near blows the roof off the building as Sting comes out and makes his way toward the ring with his trusty baseball bat in hand. Unfortunately for Sting, no one except for the members of The Elite are moving in the ring at this point, which means that all four men in the ring as just waiting for Sting to enter the ring. As he reaches ringside, Sting slowly circles the ring a couple of times, waiting for just the right moment to enter--a moment he gets when Goldberg somehow, someway gets back up to his feet and attacks The Elite from behind. Sting quickly enters the ring and he is now fighting side by side with Goldberg and, for a while, it looks like they are actually going to manage to drive The Elite back....but the numbers game eventually catches up with them and Scott Steiner ends up blasting both Goldberg and Sting with Sting's own baseball bat. Then, with Goldberg, Booker T, Sting and Diamond Dallas Page all down in the ring.... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ScottSteiner.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/JeffJarrett.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/RicFlair2.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/SeanOHaire2001.jpg The Elite stands tall as another edition of WCW Monday Nitro comes to an end! © Final Show Rating: B- Final TV Rating: 0.51

Monday Nitro is officially up!

WCW owner Eric Bischoff has officially added three more matches to the Starrcade card; Scott Hall versus Rey Misterio Jr. has officially been added to the card following Hall's challenge and Rey's acceptance of that challenge this past week on Monday Nitro. Challengers have also been announced for the United States and Cruiserweight Championship. Chavo Guerrero Jr. will defend his Cruiserweight Championship against Shane Helms who, after being on the wrong side of bad luck and circumstance twice within the past couple of weeks, first with Scott Hall's interference in the Cruiserweight Title match at Mayhem and then again with Chavo Guerrero Jr.'s underhanded tactics two weeks ago on Monday Nitro, will receive a third and final shot at the Cruiserweight Championship at the biggest event of the year. Lance Storm will defend the United States Championship against Hugh Morrus in what is a huge opportunity somewhat out of left field for Morrus, who will no doubt be looking to make the most of this rather surprising opportunity.

Here is a look at the updated card for Starrcade with just one more edition of Monday Nitro to go before the biggest event of the year.
