The fans are cheering Bischoff for saving WCW and he waits for those cheers to die down before he starts talking. Bischoff says that it feels damn good to be back on Monday Nitro but, as always, he is there to take care of some business. First and foremost, Bischoff announces that the Insiders will receive their tag team title shot against The Natural Born Thrillers at the upcoming Great American Bash pay per view, which the crowd cheers for.</p><p> </p><p> Bischoff then moves on to the situation regarding the World Title. Bischoff says that he heard what Ric Flair said last week, but he also heard the exchange between Scott Steiner and Sting and, quite frankly, Bischoff was finding himself agreeing with what Sting said. However...in this case he was willing to make one single exception but only certain terms were agreed to by Ric Flair. Bischoff says that he is willing to give Ric Flair a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at the Great American Bash HOWEVER the stipulation would be that if Ric Flair fails to defeat Booker T at the pay per view then Flair will never again be eligible to compete for the WCW World Title.</p><p> </p><p> "Those are the terms, Flair" Bischoff says, "Take them or leave them". <strong>©</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><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;"><span>http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/DiscoInferno.jpg</span> vs. <span>http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ErnestMiller.jpg</span><p> </p><p> The first match of the night was another US Title Tournament qualifier pitting Disco Inferno against "The Cat" Ernest Miller.

A replay is shown of the attack and the announcers talk about this hatred that Steiner and Animal seems to have for the young upstart team of Air Raid, noting that they had to cheat to beat them last week on Nitro and apparently they are done with Air Raid. <strong>(D)</strong></p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><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;"><span>http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/HughMorrus.jpg</span> vs. <span>http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/ElixSkipper.jpg</span><p> </p><p> The second match of the night was another US Title tournament qualifier and saw Hugh Morrus take on "Prime Time" Elix Skipper in a back and forth match that came to an end when Hugh Morrus hit a huge power romb on Skipper and picked up the three count and the win.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Hugh Morrus defeated Elix Skipper at 6.18 by pinfall.

Flair then turns his attention to Booker T and tells him to kiss that World Title belt goodbye because come the Great American Bash that title is going home with the Nature Boy! Booker stares Flair down for a long moment and then simply says "I don't think so" before walking off and leaving Flair somewhat flustered. <strong>(C+)</strong></p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><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;"><span>http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/MikeSanders.jpg</span>w/<span>http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/TorrieWilson.jpg</span> vs.<span>http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t1/bigdaddycool2sweet/Euro%20Wrestling/WCW/JimDuggan2.jpg</span><p> </p><p> The third and final US Title tournament qualifier of the night saw Thriller member Mike Sanders take on the veteran Hacksaw Jim Duggan and it was Sanders who came out on top after hitting a lowblow on Duggan while the referee was distracted by Torrie Wilson and Sanders rolled Duggan up for the pin.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Mike Sanders defeated Jim Duggan by pinfall at 6.02.

Double J slid into the ring and, without hesitation, shattered the guitar over the head of "Big Poppa Pump" prompting the referee to immediately call for the bell. Jarrett quickly escaped from the ring again as the announcers speculated if Jarrett had lost his mind, making an enemy out of both Scott Steiner and Sting with his actions here tonight.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Scott Steiner defeated Sting at 12.36 by DQ following interference by Jeff Jarrett.

<strong>Additional Roster Cuts Made</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

We can now confirm that four more people have been released from World Championship Wrestling, adding to the already large number of cuts that has taken place since Eric Bischoff bought the company. The following people have been released from their contracts with World Championship Wrestling as of today:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Cash (Kid Kash)</p><p>

Chris Harris</p><p>

James Storm</p><p>

Lash LeRoux</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Reports indicate that these cuts were made because management still felt that the roster was too big for WCW in it's current state. No word yet on whether or not yet more cuts are coming but we will keep you updated.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Monday Nitro Preview</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

With just one show left before WCW's first pay per view since the returning to television, WCW owner Eric Bischoff has announced that the final edition of Monday Nitro before the Bash At The Beach pay per view will feature a "pick your poison" event in which both Booker T and Ric Flair will be allowed to handpick an opponent for each other as we continue the march toward Bash At The Beach. Who will Booker T and Ric Flair choose as each other's opponent? And who will gain the psychological upper hand just mere days before their huge clash at Bash At The Beach?</p><p> </p><p>

This weeks edition of Monday Nitro will also feature the entire first round of the US Title tournament. All eight competitors have earned their way into the tournament, but in order to win it, and the US Title, three more matches will have to be won. Which four men will advance to the semi finals? And which four men will see their dream of becoming US Champion destroyed?</p><p> </p><p>

Over the past three weeks we have seen heated rivalries unfold between The Insiders and The Natural Born Thrillers, Sting, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner, and Air Raid and Rick Steiner and Road Warrior Animal, but what will happen this week?</p><p> </p><p>

Will the numbers game once again work to the Natural Born Thrillers advantage? Or will The Insiders once again manage to turn the tables on their rivals?</p><p> </p><p>

Sting, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner will do battle at Bash At The Beach with the winner becoming the number one contender to the WCW World Title, but Scott Steiner is already hell-bent on getting his revenge on Jeff Jarrett after Jarrett attacked Steiner with a guitar two weeks ago. Will Jeff Jarrett once again escape the clutches of Big Poppa Pump? Or will Steiner get his hands on Jarrett and, if so, will Double J even make it to Bash At The Beach? And just how does the Stinger fit into the equation?</p><p> </p><p>

Rick Steiner and Road Warrior Animal believes that they should be the focus of the tag team division, but the young upstart team of Air Raid has proven to be a thorn in the veteran's side. Will this rivalry escalate even further? And will Eric Bischoff officially book the match that quite a few people want to see; Road Warrior Animal and Rick Steiner vs. Air Raid?</p><p> </p><p>

And who, or what, exactly was behind the mysterious "soon" video message last week on Monday Nitro?</p><p> </p><p>

Tune in to Monday Nitro to get the answers to all of these questions and more!</p><p>

We have just received word that Rey Misterio Jr. has suffered an injury following the brutal attack by Chavo Guerrero Jr. on Monday Nitro. While the full extent of the injury is still unknown, word is that Rey Misterio is not expected to be back in the ring anytime soon.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>Is that an actual injury or storyline? Or do we have to find out ourselves <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />. If it's legit, that's kind of a big blow to getting your cruiserweights over.</p><p> </p><p>

Booker T</p><p>

Ric Flair</p><p>

Konnan</p><p>

Mike Sanders - Kinda rooting for him to win the belt.</p><p>

Following the tragic news of Macho Man Randy Savage's death following a drug overdose, WCW owner Eric Bischoff has announced that, starting at Bash At The Beach, WCW will start doing drug tests in order to combat the use of drugs in professional wrestling.</p><p> </p><p>

<em>I think it's obvious that something needs to be done</em> Bischoff said, <em>and I think that as the owner of WCW it is certainly my responsibility to do everything I can to help ensure that this kind of thing never happens again.</em></p><p> </p><p>

The first official drug screening will take place at Bash At The Beach and one will be held after every single show after that.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Hellbent on making the youngsters pay, Steiner and Animal dominated the early parts of this match with a slow paced, hard hitting offense that kept the high-flyers grounded.

Helms came out firing on all cylinders as he looked to extract some revenge on Guerrero who, in turn, did everything he could to avoid Helms--even blatantly running away from the man. This would prove to be a smart strategy for the challenger who got into the champions head and an over-eager Helms began to make mistakes and, following a failed arial attack from Helms, Chavo rolled him up from behind and, using the ropes for leverage, Guerrero got the three count and the win.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Chavo Guerrero Jr. defeated Shane Helms at 7.47 by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage.

This allowed the Thrillers to put themselves firmly in control and it was all about survival for the Insiders. The turning point in the match came when the referee saw Mark Jindrak attacking DDP outside the ring and, rather than DQ the champions--which would have seen them retain the titles--the referee instead decided to eject all Thriller members from ringside with the obvious exception of the Tag Team Champions themselves. This lead to a much more even match but, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, it still seemed as if O'Haire and Palumbo had the upper hand more often than not. The finish came when the match broke down into chaos with O'Haire beating down DDP outside the ring and Palumbo putting the boots to Nash inside the ring. Then, while the referee was busy trying to break up the fight between DDP and Sean O'Haire outside the ring, someone suddenly jumped the security barricade.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Mike Tenay</strong>: Somebody just jumped the barricade!

Palumbo doubles over from the impact--and the pain--and that sets him up perfectly for Nash who gets back to his feet and delivers a devastating Jackknife Powerbomb while Scott Hall quickly leaves the ring and disappears back into the crowd. Nash then gets the referee's attention and covers Palumbo for the one, two, three.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Insiders defeated The Natural Born Thrillers at 11.28 by pinfall when Nash got the pin on Palumbo following a Jackknife Powerbomb.

Scott Steiner has been hot on the heels of Jeff Jarrett ever since Double J took Steiner out with a guitar shot several weeks ago and Steiner went right after Double J to start this match, hitting Jarrett with several high impact moves that eliminated Jarrett from the equation for the time being. The next several minutes was a one on one match between Steiner and Sting, and it was a very even one at that as both men took turns at being in control. Jarrett eventually rejoined the match after Sting scored a nearfall on Steiner and from there momentum switched back and forth between all three men repeatedly. The finish came when Sting had been taken out by a vicious chair shot from Jeff Jarrett and it came down to Double J and Scott Steiner. Steiner eventually managed to get Jarrett locked into the Steiner Recliner and after fighting it off or a while, Jarrett tapped out.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Scott Steiner defeated Jeff Jarrett and Sting at 14.58 by submission when Jarrett tapped out to the Steiner Recliner.

The fans were into the match from the start and never lost interest. Flair took control early on by working on the damaged legs of Booker T, and he was relentless in keeping up the pressure. Booker T slowly but surely managed to work his way back into the match but it seemed as if "The Dirtiest Player In The Game" always managed to cut Booker's momentum off before it truly go going. That changed midway through the match, however, and Booker T dominated the next several minutes but he only scored a couple of near-falls and suddenly Booker found himself locked in the Figure Four Leglock once again. Booker struggled bravely against it and eventually managed to make it to the ropes, much to Flair's frustration as Flair claimed that Booker T had given up, though the referee sternly informed him that wasn't the case. The finish finally came when both men found themselves down and out on the floor of the ring, both completely exhausted from the grueling match. Both men struggled to get to their feet and did so at the same time. Flair charged at a seemingly dazed Booker T but, out of nowhere, Booker grabbed Flair, hit the Bookend and managed to drape an arm across Flair's chest...</p><p> </p><p> One...</p><p> </p><p> Two...</p><p> </p><p> Three!!!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Booker T defeated Ric Flair at 17.25 by pinfall with the Bookend.

<p>No time decline for Flair as of yet. There's been a few segments I thought would do better than they did (just recently booked the first Nitro after Bash At The Beach and there's a real head-scratcher of a segment rating on that show as well) so I'm thinking that I need to take better care when booking the segments and deciding what to rate them on. Flair should be gold on the mic.</p><p> </p><p>

As for Scott Hall, he's the one bit of cheating I did when I started this game up as I gave him a WCW contract through the editor. Always been a huge Scott Hall fan so I really wanted him on my roster <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's very much appreciated.</p>
