The Monday Night War '95 - Change the Channel

crackerjack · August 24, 2018

News Update - September 1995 First of all, I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to whoever nominated and voted for me for DOTM! I appreciate grabbing a nomination, and encourage y'all to check out other stuff that won/got nominations! There's some good readin' in there! Anyways, I forgot to post the Main Event results from the pre-show. Some good B-show action here, a little more packed than previous Main Events: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45641" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="HKQBwR3s.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HKQBwR3s.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Mr. JL, The Renegade and The American Males defeated V.K. Wallstreet, Sgt. Craig Pittman and The State Patrol in 5:27 when Marcus Bagwell defeated Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker by pinfall with a Yellow Jacket Suplex. - C-l A WCW Panel of Bischoff, Tenay, Teddy Long, Dream, Mongo and The Living Legend run down the card - C l Sabu defeated Joey Maggs in 4:12 by pinfall with an Arabian Facebuster. - C- l Alex Wright stops Sabu from delivering an “extreme” post match beatdown - C- l Disco Inferno and Scott Norton defeated The James Boys in 5:11 when Scott Norton defeated Steve Armstrong by pinfall with a Shoulder Breaker. - C- l Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart arrive! - B l The Nasty Boys defeated The Blue Bloods in 6:05 when Lanny Poffo interferes. - B- l Lanny Poffo helps the Bloods beat down the Nastys, but bail when the Boys start to recover Overall Grade: C+</div></div></blockquote> Alright folks, it's time! Grab your telephones! It’s the Dirt Sheet Round-up! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45641" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="8pMpLKMs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8pMpLKMs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Thank you for calling the WCW Hotline… DRUGS: With WCW getting Nitro, and, thus, more noriety, WCW adopted a low level level drug policy to save face. As of now, it’s believed Eric Bischoff will be relaxed on the policy for those who WCW deem important. WCW did have some drug problems though, as The Zodiac got caught on hard drugs during the Week 3 taping of Saturday Night. Zodiac was originally slated to be in the War Games match, and The Giant was supposed debut on the Nitro following Fall Brawl, but, here we are. Zodiac was sent to Rehab, to no complaint from anyone (we’re looking at you Hogan). Zodiac wasn’t the only man to get caught, as Nitro announcer Steve “Mongo” McMichael failed a hard drugs test. While he’s not an active competitor, you can’t have the man passing out on commentary, so he was given a fine. TRANSACTIONS: Ricky Santana signed for an exclusive deal with CMLL. With the Barrio Brothers breaking up, WCW is in the hunt for a new heel jobber tag team. Jushin Liger’s loan expired after Fall Brawl, but WCW is open to having him back. RELATIONSHIPS: Hulk Hogan has been his typical backstage self, wheeling and dealing and starting his own clique. Among his clique stand Jimmy Hart, Jim Duggan, Brian Knobbs and The Giant. Dusty Rhodes saw enough in young Terry Richards to make him his protege. COVERAGE: After Nitro’s initial success, Turner decided to expand its coverage internationally, with everyone but Australia getting a chance to see the best wrestling show on Monday Nights! GENERIC DRAMA: Upon arriving at the arena for the first Nitro, Lex Luger gave people the wrong vibe with his arrogant attitude. </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45641" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="Y3S8vtcs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Y3S8vtcs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Ladies and Gentlemen, this is The Ross Report… SIZE CHANGES: After a successful Monday Night Raw during the 3rd week of September, WWF officially jumped to Internationally sized, gaining an international advantage over WCW. DRUGS: The biggest drug story to come out of the WWF was number one contender Razor Ramon failing a drug test. It hasn’t affected his performance yet, but his actions are something to watch in the upcoming weeks. He was fined for his actions, leading to a positive reaction from him and backstage rival Bam Bam Bigelow. Rad Radford and Man Mountain Rock got the strongest punishments over the past few weeks. Rad Radford was drunk and high for his superstars match against Fatu, and was sent to rehab for his own good. Man Mountain Rock, who failed the first test of September, was fired for his failure, as he only had a short time remaining on his contract. Lastly, Skip was caught with soft drugs, but was only given a stern warning for his actions. TRANSACTIONS: The mysterious woman who is paired with Goldust is his shoot wife, Terri Runnels! Doink the Clown received a contract extension. INJURIES: JC Ice broke his ribs at an USWA show. Bushwhacker Butch has chronic back pain, most likely from all of the years of bumping. RELATIONSHIPS: Attention! Sgt. Slaughter has a new protege - Ahmed Johnson! Bob Backlund took the masked Aldo Montoya under his wing as a protege. GENERIC DRAMA: Road Agent Tony Garea thinks Fatu has great potential, especially after carrying a drugged up Rad Radford. Both HBK and HHH have not been impressed by Isaac Yankem during his feud with Bret Hart.</div> </div></blockquote> That's all for the sheets! Raw and Nitro should be up sometime this weekend!

Brain says he’s excited to Kurasawa and Parker’s boys crush Hogan tonight, but when Mongo tells Brain he’s only got one man, Brain casually says Parker’s has a plan. - C+ l MATCH 1: Eddie Guerrero defeated V.K. Wallstreet in 6:33 by pinfall with a Frog Splash. EDDIE GUERRERO relished in this opportunity to regain focus after he let his emotions get the better of him, as he took on rich man parody VK WALLSTREET. Eddie was still aggressive tonight, but was able to maintain his focus as he soared from the top to nail a Frog Splash for the victory. - C l EDDIE HAS NO TIME TO CELEBRATE as he’s quickly stampeded by THE DUNGEON OF DOOM! The monsters make short work of Eddie, tossing him out of the ring. MEAN GENE follows shortly, asking them to explain themselves! Taskmaster takes the time to introduce The Giant, as the war is not over Hogan, it still rages on! The master explains that the Dungeon will survive, but they need to trim the fat - and giant squashes Kamala with a choke slam! - C <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="moaI4HY.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/moaI4HY.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WIQa4IS.jpg?2" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WIQa4IS.jpg?2" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="91T1T1o.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/91T1T1o.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Q1: MATCH 1: In a decent match, The Undertaker defeated Bob Backlund in 5:35 by pinfall with a Tombstone. THE UNDERTAKER made his triumphant in-ring return at In Your House - but he’s still hungry! Mabel may have gotten away from him Saturday, but the crazy BACKLUND doesn’t seem to want to run away from the Deadman, ranting and poking the bigger man! Taker seems to appreciate the guts of Bob, before planting him a Tombstone for the victory! - B- l “OOOHH YES” shouts PAUL BEARER on the microphone. Paul chides Mabel for being a fool - he knocked Taker down before - and he rose again! Bearer promises that Mabel’s actions will have grave consequences! - B</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45641" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Q2: TONY SCHIAVONE IS BACKSTAGE, and he introduces the new WCW Tag Team champions - HARLEM HEAT! Book and Stevie will gladly put themselves over, boasting that they are the greatest tag team in the world after taking back the gold (sucka). This promo can only go for so long, as COL. PARKER walks into the shot, immediately holding hands with SHERRI. Parker explains his boys BUCK and SLATER won’t talk to him since the Brawl, and since he’s got two open spots tonight - can he use her boys. Heat immediately shake their heads, but Sherri shouts yes! The lovebirds run off and Heat throw a fit! - C+ l MATCH 2: In a decent match, Brian Pillman and Sabu defeated Alex Wright and The Renegade in 6:23 when Brian Pillman defeated Alex Wright by pinfall. Two crazy personalities team up on Nitro, with the wild SABU teaming with the increasingly manic BRIAN PILLMAN to face an odd-couple team of ALEX WRIGHT and THE RENEGADE. Wright and Sabu had a short confrontation on the Fall Brawl pre-show, with Alex Wright stopping Sabu from taking “extreme” measures in a post match beatdown. Unfortunately, this made Wright a moving target for Sabu, as Sabu nailed Wright with a chair on the outside, allowing Pillman (who had been distracting the ref) to make an easy pinfall. - C+ <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="moaI4HY.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/moaI4HY.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WIQa4IS.jpg?2" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WIQa4IS.jpg?2" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="91T1T1o.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/91T1T1o.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Q2: OUR FIRST SPLIT SCREEN INTERVIEW of the night sees VKM and KING get thoughts from the WWF Champion DIESEL! Big Daddy Cool claims to be ready for a fight with RAZOR, and is happy he got some revenge on BULLDOG. But, after Lawler pushes him, Diesel does argue that he gift-wrapped Razor a victory, and he’ll have to fight hard against him to prove he’s a worthy contender! - B l WE CUT FROM THAT to see DOK HENDRIX rushing with a mic in his hand after GORILLA MONSOON, who is in a loud argument with JIM CORNETTE right outside of his office. We don’t hear what exactly Jim is complaining about, but we get the tail end of the conservation - which sees Gorilla give OWEN HART a title shot against SHAWN MICHAELS - if Camp Cornette just leave him alone! Corny seems to take that deal, but promises that you won’t hear the end of this! Dok tries to find out what just happened, but Gorilla closes the door in his face! - B-</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45641" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Q3: BACK FROM COMMERCIAL BREAK, Mean Gene is back out, and he calls out THE NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR. After strutting out, Flair informs Gene that there’s no way that this interview goes on without “The Enforcer”, and ARN ANDERSON heads out! Flair and Arn both deny any semblance of tension to Mean Gene, saying that they fought like men at Fall Brawl, and remain brothers! Arn leaves us with a tease, alerting the audience that only two stand in the ring - and they’re in the hunt for two more, before throwing up four fingers! - B- l TONY IS IN BACK AGAIN this time with JOHNNY B. BADD! It’s a short segment, with Badd saying that now that DDP is behind him, he can focus on his upcoming title shot against KURASAWA! Tony advises him to watch closely, because that match is next week on Nitro! - C <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="moaI4HY.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/moaI4HY.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WIQa4IS.jpg?2" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WIQa4IS.jpg?2" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="91T1T1o.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/91T1T1o.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Q3: MATCH 2: In a terrible match, Isaac Yankem DDS and Jerry Lawler defeated The Hardy Boyz in 4:12 when Isaac Yankem DDS defeated Jeff Hardy by pinfall with a DDT. What can we say - this was a squash. JEFF and MATT tried their hand to stop the big YANKEM, but had no success. The King made it worse by commentating the whole thing on the apron. Dual DDTs to the Hardys got Isaac the victory. - C l Lawler RUSHES INTO THE RING and brags that Yankem will bring the same fate for BRET HART! Jerry tells Bret to keep running, or Yankem will make him pay! - B- l OUR FINAL SPLIT SCREEN INTERVIEW OF THE NIGHT sees “THE BAD GUY” get some time on screen. He says it feels good to be number one contender, mang. But, chico, he heard what Big Daddy Cool said earlier, and he wants him to know that he deserves the title shot, and will take the title away from Diesel! - B+ </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45641" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Q4: MAIN EVENT: In a good match, Hulk Hogan and Sting & Lex Luger defeated Kurasawa and Harlem Heat in 11:54 when Hulk Hogan defeated Kurasawa by pinfall with a Leg Drop. Harlem Heat begrudgingly join Kurasawa in this main event, as the trio mix it up with the powerful babyface combination HULK HOGAN, STING, and LEX LUGER! Heat and Kurasawa have trouble keeping down the babyfaces, but can luckily work over Sting, who’s still feeling the effects of the War Games match. Despite this, they still can’t keep down Hogan who gets the hot tag! Harlem Heat get into an argument with Parker when things turn south, and Hogan drops the leg for the victory. - B l HOGAN, LEX AND STING CELEBRATE THEIR VICTORY, and Hogan poses for the crowd! Once his music dies down a bit, Lex Luger grabs a mic! Lex says that while it’s been fun to team with Hogan over the past few weeks, he still wants to mix it up for the biggest prize in wrestling! Lex makes the challenge official - Lex vs Hogan next week! Hogan pauses to gather the crowd reaction, and Sting marks out a bit, and Hogan decides it’s on brother! - A <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="moaI4HY.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/moaI4HY.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WIQa4IS.jpg?2" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WIQa4IS.jpg?2" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="91T1T1o.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/91T1T1o.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Q4: MAIN EVENT: In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, Shawn Michaels defeated Owen Hart in 15:35 by pinfall with a Sweet Chin Music. Shawn Michaels makes defence number 8 of his WWF Intercontinental Championship title. We aren’t really sure how Owen earned this title shot - since we last saw him receiving some Sweet Chin Music from SHAWN MICHAELS - but Owen makes the most out of his opportunity. The pair engage in the most technical performance of the night, receiving plenty of time to tell a story in the ring. Shawn shows excellent resiliency by kicking out of everything that Owen threw at him, but bouncing back and hitting another Sweet Chin Music to get the pinfall victory. - B l HBK CAN BARELY RAISE his arm in victory, before the screeching music of SYCHO SID hits! The Giant charges with THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN trailing shortly behind. HBK puts his fists up, ready for a fight, but he simply is too exhausted to stop Sid. Sid nails not one but two huge powerbombs to leave Shawn laying to end this week’s Raw - B+</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">Grades: 82/B l 81/B Ratings: 8.15 l 13.78</div>

Johnny B. Badd vs Kurasawa©

Comments: While Badd is certainly credible enough to be TV Champion, and while I could see Hawk costing Kurasawa the match, it would be pretty boneheaded of him to do so if he wants the belt for himself

The Renegade vs. Big Bubba

Comments:I don’t see the World Title changing hands on Nitro, not just yet anyway (99/00 Nitro and the damn thing was changing on TV weekly, sometimes twice in the space of one show) and I’m half tempted to go for a no contest after DoD interference, but let’s go with Savage somehow costing Lex

Kurasawa - With the title now part of his feud with Hawk, I can't see him dropping it here.

Big Bubba

No Contest - Though to get this you're probably going to have to really pay up to Hulk and his creative control, brother.

Ahmed Johnson

Sycho Sid

Razor Ramon

Badd defeated Kurasawa in 7:38 by pinfall with a Shooting Star Press. Johnny B. Badd wins the WCW World Television Championship title. Nitro starts hot with a TV Title match, as two men with plenty of momentum fight for the gold! The finish sees Johnny B. Badd get some unexpected help, as THE DIAMOND MINE comes down to ringside. As DDP jaws with Badd, Maxx Muscle botches his interference, knocking over Kurasawa, allowing to nail a SSP and win the title! - C+ l MEAN GENE IS ON THE RAMP armed with a microphone, and he introduces his guests - THE AMERICAN MALES! The greatest theme song brings the boys out to the crowd, as the pair hype up their tag title match - scheduled for next week’s Nitro! When Gene asks how they feel about the recent Parker/Sherri shenanigans, and if it could distract them, Bagwell argues that, comparing themselves to Parker, Sherri will probably be more distracted herself! - C <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="moaI4HY.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/moaI4HY.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WIQa4IS.jpg?2" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WIQa4IS.jpg?2" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="91T1T1o.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/91T1T1o.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Q1: A TABLE IS SET UP and GORILLA MONSOON stands in the ring with some paperwork, as we invite DIESEL and RAZOR RAMON to the ring to make their In-Your-House match. Formalities are kept short, as JIM CORNETTE and his CAMP crash the party! Making all sorts of demands and spewing jabs at Gorilla, Razor is the one to maintain order. Motivated by Big Daddy Cool’s words from last week, Razor doesn’t back down from Corny, challenging Bulldog to a match tonight. And he wants Gorilla to give them what they want - if Bulldog beats him, then he gets a shot too! Gorilla says ok, but adds an extra stip - if Bulldog loses, Camp Cornette are barred from entering the arena at In Your House 4! - B+ l MATCH 1: In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Ahmed Johnson defeated Sammy The Silk in 5:16 by pinfall with a Pearl River Plunge. AHMED JOHNSON makes his powerful Monday Night Raw debut, facing off against the gangster(?) SAMMY THE SILK! Ahmed got involved in The Silk’s business at In Your House and now he wants revenge!

Owen takes the time to run down potential challengers THE SMOKING GUNNS, saying that they just aren’t in Owen’s and Yoko’s league! - B- l MATCH 2: In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Sycho Sid defeated Henry O. Godwinn in 6:29 by pinfall with a Chokeslam. Hey - the HOG isn’t a softie, and proved his toughness by lasting as long as he did against SID.

Hulk Hogan makes defence number 7 of his WCW World Heavyweight Championship title. A Technical Masterclass - well, not really, but these two do enough to get a “great wrestling” note! The two do test a strengths, shoulder-block-but-nobody-moves spots, and double clotheslines to gauge the audience’s reaction. Luger got control of the match, putting the Hulkster in a rest spot to try to wear him down, but the Hulkster hulked up, nailing the big body slam!

Two men with a lot to prove - and a lot on the line! With Camp Cornette at ringside, Razor not only had to focus on pinning the Bulldog, but shutting Jim Cornette up for a bit! However, after Cornette jumped on the apron to complain to the ref, before he was roughly pulled down by Diesel! As Corny cowered behind Yokozuna, Owen Hart slid his tag title in the ring, allowing Bulldog to sock Razor with it and nail a Powerslam to pin The Bad Guy! - B l CAMP CORNETTE CELEBRATE like they just won the title, as Diesel helps Razor recover in the ring! But, “The Bad Guy” pushes him off! Looks like Razor wanted to do this himself! - A</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">Grades: 82/B l 81/B Ratings: 8.15 l 13.73</div>

But, turns out, Sammy never did make an in-ring debut (for good reason, probably). So, maybe, just maybe, Sammy will stick to Superstars heading forward, but... don't hold me to that.

But, since it's first to 50, and there's 9 points up for grabs for next week, to4sty, Beejus and Blodyxe all have a chance to grab that top spot.

Kinda screwing myself over predicting this early, but it's better than missing the round entirely

Beejus · September 3, 2018

Oooo, the plot thickens in the prediction contest!

Eddie Guerrero - I'll say that Taskmaster throws Shark his way. It will be a really big win for Eddie to knock him off.

American Males - Title change! Nitro is the show to watch for sure!

Sting - Man, another ??? ? I think this time I'll go with Arn Anderson for the mystery opponent, as Brian bows out and "Double A" takes advantage of Sting wanting to fight.

Lawler and Yankem - Bret chooses Bruce Hart to team with him, but Bruce takes the fall.

Goldust

Diesel

66 will be the number for me.

Who is ???: I'm going with Hugh Morris too

Comments: Shark is a good call, but I don't think Eddie is quite at his level yet, Shark/Avalanche was a genuine main eventer a year ago, if Eddie beats him it should be on PPV...while Morris is a big man that would still be an impressive visual victory, while being low enough down the card for Eddie to step over on his climb

MNW - Week 6!

Week 2, October 1995

Nitro results in Blue, Raw Results in Red

Results, Matches, Angles

Q1: WE KICK OFF THE SHOW where ERIC BISCHOFF, BOBBY HEENAN and MONGO welcome us to the premier wrestling show on Monday nights! The trio talk about THE GIANT’s attack on HULK HOGAN last week, and ponder how the Hulkster will respond! - B l In a decent match, Eddie Guerrero defeated Hugh Morrus in 7:11 by pinfall with a surprise cradle. Brain quips that EDDIE might be more stupid than brave, as he kicks off Nitro to challenge anyone from the Dungeon of Doom! Eddie’s call is answered by the laughing man HUGH MORRIS. While certainly not the most elite member of the dungeon, Hugh does outweigh and overpower Eddie, but still has a surprising amount of agility for a guy his size. Eddie is tenacious, keeping his fists up and giving his all, eventually hosting Hugh into an inside cradle, grabbing the pin fall! -C+ l THE REMAINDER OF THE DUNGEON crash the ring, but Eddie is ready for it, as he slips out of the ring and up the ramp. Hugh is left cackling in fear in the mat as THE GIANT looms, but THE TASKMASTER lets this just be a warning to Morris - and tells the men to save their energy. -C+

Q1: JERRY LAWLER IS ALREADY HAVING FUN in the ring with a live mic, talking trash to his victims in the audience, before the music of BRET HART hits! The screeching guitar stops when gets to ringside, as the music of new Raw superstar AHMED JOHNSON hits! Both Bret and Ahmed are ready, and The King doesn’t look so confident as he hides behind ISAAC YANKEM! - B- l In a decent match, Ahmed Johnson and Bret Hart defeated Jerry Lawler and Isaac Yankem DDS in 8:24 when Jerry Lawler intentionally got disqualified while fighting Bret Hart. Ahmed shows off some impressive manuevers against the vet Lawler, causing him to tag out! Yankem is able to slow down the Pearl River Powerhouse, working up to a hot tag to Bret! The Hitman is able to fire up and take the big man off his feet, but The King runs in and kicks him between the legs! A blatant DQ! The heels bail, and the faces want more! - B-

Q2: MEAN GENE’S GOT A MICROPHONE and he introduces his guests - it’s ARN ANDERSON AND RIC FLAIR! Gene asks them about their little scouting trips over the past few weeks, and Naitch pimps the luxury and lifestyle of a Horsemen. Arn is on his game for another interview, concluding by telling the folks at home that they are closer to finding their members than everyone thinks! - B- l In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Harlem Heat defeated The American Males in 9:31 when Marcus Bagwell was disqualified when we also had Col. Robert Parker ran in and attacked Stevie Ray. Harlem Heat make defence No. 3 of the WCW World Tag Team Championships. The longest match on this week’s Nitro sees THE AMERICAN MALES try to win over the crowd - and win the tag team titles. HARLEM HEAT don’t go down easy, but aren’t on their “A” game as both COL. PARKER and SHERRI romance at ringside. The Males impress by glowing blow for blow with the champs, causing Col. Parker to jump on the apron. Parker lines up for Marcus Bagwell, swings wildly with his roll of quarters, and nails… Stevie Ray!? The DQ means the champ keeps the belts, but who exactly was Parker aiming for! - C

Q2: MICHAEL HAYES IS AGAIN RUNNINGaround backstage (keeping the Freebird in shape) catching up to GORILLA MONSON and BIG DADDY COOL. Diesel tells Gorilla that he’s tired of sitting on the sideline, he wants Camp Cornette tonight! And he’ll even put his gold on the line to get it! An increasingly frustrated Gorilla grants him his wish, and wishes him luck, before shutting the door on Hayes! - B- l SPLIT SCREEN TIME! VKM interviews the IC champ SHAWN MICHAELS! Shawn says that those powerbombs from SID really did a number on him, but he’ll be ready to go for In Your House 4 where he’ll defend his belt against Sid! Shawn warns Sid that he tries to jump him again before the Pay Per View, he’ll be ready for a fight! - B l In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Goldust defeated Duke Droese in 4:42 by pinfall with a Curtain Call. THE DUMPSTER lives up to his name, as he has little chance at victory against the debuting Goldust. The crowd isn’t quite sure of what to make of Goldust initially, but are taken someone aback by the weird behavior of the Hollywood star. After getting some silent encouragement from his blonde assistant on the outside (who Vince McMahon learns is known as MARLENA), Goldust hits a hanging neckbreaker (heralded as the Curtain Call) to grab the victory. - C

Q3: BACKSTAGE IN THE LOCKER ROOM, TONY SCHIAVONE gets a chance to interview LEX LUGER about his ruined title opportunity. Lex said he knows he will be able to get another shot, but didn’t appreciate having to still deal with the Dungeon, so he wants another go at them! MACHO MAN inserts himself into this interview, saying that he’s willing to give it a go by Lex’s side if he gives him the opportunity! Lex likes the sound of that - and shakes his hand! - B l WE’RE NEAR THE END of the show, and Gene has made his way to the ring to interview the United States champion STING! Sting wastes no time in reminding everyone that somebody wants a fight, so he calls out BRIAN PILLMAN! Pillman comes out fired up, before composing himself and saying he will not fight Sting tonight! Acting like the unpredictable Loose Cannon (new catchphrase!) he is, Pillman decides that he won’t just give everyone want they want tonight before heading to the back! A disappointed Sting said he’s ready for a fight, so consider this an open challenge… and THE GIANT and The Taskmaster head out! Gene bails, and the main is on! - B

Q3: IT’S AN EASY WIN for Goldust, who favors his ankle as the lights begin to dim. But there’s no encore for this enigma, as DEAN DOUGLAS and BOB BACKLUND charge the ring, seeking revenge on Goldie for his actions over the past few weeks. THE 1-2-3 KID is quick to make the save, sending the heels to the back and allowing Marlena to care for Goldust. - C l OH YEAH! SPLIT SCREEN! KING MABEL is backstage, as Vince asks him about his rematch with THE UNDERTAKER at IYH4. Mabel then repeats that he shows no fear, but expresses a measure of panic when Vinnie Mac mentions that it will be a casket match! Mabel is ultra freaked when the lights go out, and Taker appears behind him! Mabel runs off as fast as he can to close the segment! - C

Q4: MAIN EVENT: In a superb match, The Giant defeated Sting in 9:05 when Sting was disqualified when Hulk Hogan ran in and attacked The Giant. The Stinger maybe should have been more specific - and asked for anyone but The Giant, because the big man dominates Sting as few other men can. Despite his inexperience, Giant controls most of the match, survives a comeback from the US Champ, and has the audience begging for the ref to end the match - the punishment is too much! This leads HULK HOGAN to run down to ringside, hesitate to get in the ring, and bravely starts to hit the Giant to stop the match! - B- l A FEW THUNDEROUS CLUBS to the back allow The Giant to realize what’s going on, as Hogan hulks up and tries to the big man off his feet. Hogan staggers him, and tries for a big slam, but gets nothing! Giant powers his way out before crushing Hogan with a Chokeslam! Hogan is down and out to close Nitro, again! - A*

Q4: MAIN EVENT: Diesel defeated Yokozuna in 10:44 by pinfall with a Jacknife Power Bomb. Diesel makes defence number 26 of his WWF World Heavyweight Championship title. YOKOZUNA is the man to answer Diesel’s call, as the two powerhouses battled it out for the gold. Yoko is a former Heavyweight champ, and a current tag team champion, so he’s a proven challenge for Big Daddy Cool. But, an extra motivated Big Daddy Cool didn’t back down, eventually getting the pinfall victory in a short and somewhat surprisingly good match (thanks to some great chemistry). - B- l CAMP CORNETTE CRASH THE RING, but can only have their way with the champ for so long, as RAZOR RAMON runs out for the save. Cornette encourages everyone to fight later, not now, and orders his troops to retreat. As they exit the ring, Razor swings, and hits the recovering Diesel! As Diesel realizes what happened, Razor feels little sympathy, as he shrugs his shoulders and motions for the belt! - A
