This will be the very first episode of Monday Nitro.  I've been watching some of the Reliving the Wars on YouTube as well.  They are fun to watch.  Glad to see you're excited as I am excited about this one too.  I hope that I can live up to the work of others and to my own past work.

WCW Monday Nitro

spacer.pngspacer.pngspacer.png

Match #1: WCW United States Title Match
Sting defends vs. Ric Flair

WCW Monday Nitro begins in the Duluth Entertainment Center in Duluth, Minnesota.  The crowd cheers the arrival of two fan favorites in the WCW United States Champion Sting and the Nature Boy Ric Flair.  The match itself is a solid back and forth contest with both men showing off their abilities in the ring.  At around the five minute mark, Sting goes for a knee in the corner but Flair moves and Sting strikes the corner with his knee.  Flair goes right after the knee of Sting, using a kneebreaker before placing Sting's knee over the bottom rope.  He leaps up and comes seated down on Sting's knee.  Flair goes for the Figure Four but Sting rolls it into a small package for a two count.  The crowd gets behind Sting as the two men get to their feet.  Sting manages to reverse an Irish whip, sending Flair up and over the corner and onto the apron.  Flair rushes down the apron and climbs to the top where he's met by Sting.  Sting takes him down with a body slam but then grabs his knee, grimacing in pain.  Moments later, Sting Irish whips Flair into a corner and then hits him with the Stinger Splash.  Sting grabs the legs of the fallen Flair and twists him into the Scorpion Deathlock.  Flair shakes his head, trying to reach for the ropes.  Sting moves them into the center of the ring and Flair has no choice but to submit.

What Does Sting Do?
Sting gets the WCW United States title belt and holds it up in the air before exiting the ring.  As he walks down the aisle, Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman come running from the back to the ring.  Pillman strikes Ric Flair from behind with a double sledge.  Double A grabs Flair and drops him with the Spinebuster!  Pillman slides out of the ring and grabs a chair before sliding back in.  Anderson pulls Flair up and holds him as Pillman brings the chair back.  Sting grabs the chair from Pillman's hands!  The crowd cheers as he swings the chair wildly, sending both Anderson and Pillman rushing from the ring.  Sting drops the chair before helping Flair to his feet.  The two men go face to face for a moment before Sting just turns and exits the ring, walking to the back.

Feel The Bang!
Time for a pre-taped promo.  This one features Diamond Dallas Page alongside Diamond Doll.  He begins by saying that The Renegade has five more days to enjoy holding the WCW World Television title because this Saturday the belt is coming around his slim and trim waist.  Renegade, you're only one second away from being absolutely dropped by the Diamond Cutter.  In the main event, this Saturday night, I will be walking away as the new WCW World Television Champion and you will walk away feeling the BANG!  DDP raises the diamond sign and brings it down with the bang before we cut to the ring.

Match #2
Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Thunder Liger

Our second match of the night is a high flying contest as Brian Pillman comes back out to the ring to face Japanese legend Jushin Thunder Liger.  Clips of a previous contest between the two are shown on a split-screen while in the ring the two wrestlers exchange holds.  Neither man comes out with the advantage and they both end up on their feet, drawing an applause from the crowd.  During this moment, Eric Bischoff tells the fans that they have no reason to flip over to their competitor tonight because they are not even on television tonight.  Liger gets the early advantage and manages to get Pillman up on the top turnbuckle.  He climbs up and then hits the top rope frankensteiner.  Liger makes a cover but gets a two count only.  He locks Pillman in the Oni-Koroshi, a reverse double arm bar but Pillman refuses to submit.  The momentum shifts when Liger goes for the Brainbuster but Pillman manages to shift and fall behind him.  Pillman drops Liger with a chop block and then continues on the attack.  A missile dropkick from the top turnbuckle only gets a two count.  The end comes when Pillman locks Liger up in the victory roll, holding his shoulders down for the three count.

Dungeon Of Doom
The focus turns to the ramp where Gene Okerlund is standing by.  Okerlund says he hopes that everyone is enjoying this night's very first Monday Nitro from Duluth, Minnesota.  Okerlund welcomes down the Dungeon of Doom's own The Taskmaster and The Giant.  The crowd boos in the background as The Taskmaster and The Giant walk down to the ramp.  Okerlund begins by asking them about their plans for Fall Brawl.  The Taskmaster says that he is going to hold back The Giant from competing in War Games.  However, the rest of the Dungeon of Doom should be enough.  He points to The Giant and says that this man is the next WCW World Heavyweight Champion.  He says that this man will end Hulk Hogan and end Hulkamania, whatever's left of him after War Games.  Okerlund wraps things up and we head to commercial.

When It Comes Crashing Down
Back from commercial, we are at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.  There is a crowd of people standing around Gene Okerlund and Hulk Hogan.  Okerlund speaks up first, saying that they are there at Pastamania's opening this week at the Mall of America.  But Hogan will be in Duluth on Monday to face Big Bubba Rogers on the very first Monday Nitro.  Hogan takes the microphone and, well, let me tell you something, Mean Gene!  Pastamania is running wild here in Bloomington and the Mall of America, brother!  Hogan says that this is exciting but what's even more exciting is the very first Monday Nitro, dudes!  That is where all the Hulkamaniacs are going to watch Hulk Hogan battle that evil nasty Big Bubba Rogers.  Hogan says that he has the power of Hulkamania running through his veins, brother.  That means that Rogers is due for a big crash and collapse with a body slam and a big leg drop and a one two three.  But there's also War Games to talk about, brother.  He notes that his team of himself, Sting and Randy Savage are one dude short.  But he can promise they'll be at full power come Fall Brawl and that Hulkamania will be at full power on Monday Nitro, brother.  He's got just one question to ask Big Bubba Rogers and that's whatcha gonna do when the power of Hulkamania, Pastamania and all these Hulkamaniacs runs wild on you?!?!?  Hogan high fives some of the fans and starts posing and taking some pictures as we go to the ring for our main event.

Match #3: WCW World Heavyweight Title Match
Hulk Hogan defends vs. Big Bubba Rogers

Our main event encounter features Hulk Hogan defending the WCW World Heavyweight title against the Dungeon of Doom's Big Bubba Rogers.  Eric Bischoff talks about setting up some cameras backstage to catch things that might happen backstage.  Hogan stalls a little in the beginning, cupping his ear to the fans and getting the Hulkamaniacs into the match.  When they finally lock up, Rogers shoves Hogan back into a corner and throws a few cheap shot forearm smashes to the face of Hogan.  A lot of restholds are used next, including Rogers locking Hogan in the abdominal stretch and then a bearhug.  In the bearhug, Hogan's arm is lifted and it falls once, twice but not the third time!  Hogan throws some punches as a Hogan chant fills the arena.  The bearhug is broken and Hogan bounces off the ropes -- Bubba Slam!  Rogers plants Hogan and makes the cover: One, Two, BIG KICKOUT!  Hogan shakes his head and stares at Rogers, getting to his feet.  He waggles his fingers at Rogers but Rogers moves in for a punch but it's blocked!  Hogan fires three punches and then sends Rogers to the ropes -- Big Boot!  Hogan bounces off the ropes -- Leg Drop!  Hogan makes the cover: One, Two, Three!

Surprise Arrival
Hulk Hogan has scored the victory!  He begins posing in the ring and is joined by Sting and Randy Savage!  The three men who are on a War Games team at Fall Brawl pose together in the ring.  As they pose, attention goes to the crowd.  The commentators talk about someone walking through the crowd and heading toward the ring.  The focus turns to the arrival and return of Lex Luger!  Luger leaps over the guardrail and climbs into the ring.  He gives a handshake and a hug to Sting before turning his attention to Hulk Hogan, looking at the WCW World Heavyweight title belt.  Luger is given a microphone.  The Total Package says that he has returned to WCW to face the best wrestlers in the world.  He says he is here where the big boys play and he wants to face the biggest boy in the land.  That means taking on the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.  Luger challenges Hogan to a match next week on Nitro for the title.  Hogan takes a moment, looking Luger up and down, then he agrees to the match, brother.  He shakes hands with Luger and then turns back to Sting and Savage.  He does a huddle with them, talking with them off-microphone.  When the huddle breaks, Savage does not look happy.  Hogan asks Luger if he will be their fourth member for War Games at the end of the month.  Luger paces a moment and then says he will give them an answer next week.  Luger and Savage go face to face for a moment and then Luger turns to go face to face with Hogan.  The show comes to an end with Luger and Hogan going face to face.

I'll definitely be paying attention to this, just to see how many parallel's we have in our games. There's certain things that you just have to do, for example, having Luger return on the first Nitro. I also have a sneaky suspicion that you're going to get the TV title off the Renegade as quickly as possible. Good luck!

Monday Week 2 September 1995

WCW Monday Nitro

I8j5U07.gif

Stylin and Profilin
This second edition of WCW Monday Nitro begins in the ring with Gene Okerlund.  Okerlund welcomes everyone to Monday Nitro and then announces his guest coming to the ring, The Nature Boy Ric Flair!  The crowd cheers as 2001 begins to play.  Ric Flair comes out, twirling around in his sea blue robe.  He walks down to the ring and steps inside, strutting across and releasing a 'Whoo!'  Okerlund begins by asking Flair about his feud with Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman.  Mean Whoo Gene!  I just want to ask you one thing right here and right now: what's causing all this?!?!  Whoo!  Flair says he's the one causing it along with Sting himself.  He says that he is thankful for what Sting did last week.  He says that he is one that taught Arn Anderson to do the things that he has done and now he has to do battle with Ric Flair's Monster at Fall Brawl.  He reminds Anderson AND Pillman that diamonds are forever and so is Ric...

dTcxzdl.gifWs9jjB4.gif

The music for Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman interrupts Flair's words and out from the back come the two men.  Double A steps into the ring, while Pillman basically dances around the ringside area, waving his arms in a crazy manner.  Anderson tells Flair that he's not the teacher.  Anderson says that Flair was and is the student when it comes to the Anderson way.  Anderson says he will prove that at Fall Brawl because he didn't show Flair everything that he knows.  Flair says he is still heartbroken that he lost the man he considered to be his best friend.  Pillman slides in the ring and calls Flair selfish.  He says that Flair wouldn't let any of the spotlight shine on his supposed best friend.  Flair tells Pillman to shut up because the men are talking.  Pillman slaps Flair and asks if that proves he's a man at this table.  Flair smiles slowly and tells Pillman that what that earns him is a shot at being taken to school next week on Monday Nitro.  Pillman immediately agrees and Anderson just shakes his head for a moment.  Pillman goes for a punch but Anderson stops him, grabbing his arm.  Anderson says it's time to go and he leaves with Pillman.  Flair ends things by saying that to be the man, you have to beat the man.  Whoo!  Flair shakes hands with Okerlund before the two exit the ring and head to the back before our first match.

Match #1
Kamala and The Shark vs. Randy Savage and Sting

Our first match of the evening is a tag team encounter featuring four of the men who will compete in War Games at Fall Brawl.  This is a hard-hitting contest between all four men that sees Sting play the role of face-in-peril in the corner of The Dungeon Of Doom.  Kamala strikes Sting with a headbutt and a backhand chop before turning things over to The Shark.  The Shark takes his time with Sting, stepping on his chest and then walking off.  The Shark locks Sting in a bearhug and referee Randy Anderson raises Sting's arm once, twice, three ti -- NO!  Sting's arm stays up and he begins throwing punches.  He gets released from the bearhug and a double clothesline sends both men to the mat.  Tags are made on both sides with Randy Savage climbing to the top turnbuckle and hitting Kamala with a double axehandle.  Savage hits The Shark with a clothesline sending The Shark to the floor beside The Taskmaster.  In the ring, Kamala pulls himself up in a corner and Sting hits the Stinger Splash.  Randy Savage climbs to the top turnbuckle -- Flying Elbowdrop!  Savage makes the cover: One, Two, Three!

The Genius Corner
Now it's time to go to the corner, The Genius Corner.  This segment is hosted by Lanny Poffo, who welcomes everyone to his corner of the world.  Poffo says that on occasion he will allow people to come into his corner and talk about the upcoming moments in professional wrestling.  He announces that his first guest is one half of the team that won the Iron Team tournament in 1989.  This is Road Warrior Hawk!  Hawk comes out and walks over, shaking hands with Poffo.  Poffo begins by asking Hawk about what happened on WCW Saturday Night.  The fight between him and The Giant is shown in a split-screen.  Well, Hawk says, The Giant made the biggest mistake of his life.  Hawk reminds Poffo that he's been around for a long time, while The Giant is still a young pup.  He goes to continue but here comes The Taskmaster and The Giant.  The Taskmaster says that Hawk was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  He says that The Giant was hungry and looking to eat.  Hawk responds that they should put this in the right place at the right time and that means a match at Fall Brawl.  The Taskmaster laughs an evil laugh, calling Hawk an idiot.  Hawk responds with a right hand, flooring The Taskmaster.  The Giant steps forward and says he accepts the challenge.  The Giant and Hawk start to brawl before security steps in and breaks things up.  Poffo says this was The Genius Corner and now we're heading back to the ring.

Match #2
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Kanyon

Our second match of the night features two tough young wrestlers looking to make their name and an impact in professional wrestling.  During the opening minutes of the match, Eric Bischoff warns viewers that they shouldn't turn the channel to their competition.  Bischoff says there is a terrible main event where Bam Bam Bigelow, Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid defeat Million Dollar Corporation members King Kong Bundy, Sycho Sid and Tatanka.  Back in the ring, Benoit catches Kanyon with a dragon screw leg whip.  Benoit hits a diving legdrop for a two count.  Kanyon fights back and catches Benoit with a fireman's carry into a neckbreaker for a two count.  Benoit comes back and drops Kanyon with a Dragon suplex, no bridge all impact.  He heads to the top turnbuckle and leaps, catching Kanyon with a diving headbutt!  Benoit makes the cover: One, Two, Three!

World Tag Team Titles
At the top of the ramp come the WCW World Tag Team Champions Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck escorted by Col. Robert Parker.  Parker says that he has the best tag team in WCW in the Studd Stable with two veterans of professional wrestling.  Parker says that they are both upset over the fact that they have not been asked to be on Monday Nitro.  He says they should have been the stars of this brand new show and that his Great Grandfather wouldn't take this sitting down and neither will he.  But he is interrupted by the return to WCW of Rick and Scott, The Steiner Brothers!  The crowd cheers as the two men from the University of Michigan walk down and go face to face with the Studd Stable members.  Rick begins barking, getting the crowd to bark along with him.  Parker says how dare they interrupt this moment with the tag team champions.  Scott says that they interrupted because he and his brother want a shot at the tag team titles.  Dick Slater reminds Scott that the last time Scott looked him in the face he broke Scott's arm.  He says he will gladly do it again.  Then, Bunkhouse Buck accepts the challenge for a match at Fall Brawl defending the WCW World Tag Team titles.  Scott smiles and says they'll see them there.  Rick jogs around a little more, barking before The Steiner Brothers head to the back and we head to a video.

oKxpOIp.gif2QWayEO.gifBszQnGN.gif5EC4pBK.jpg

Sherri Brings The Heat
This video features a pre-taped promo featuring Sensuous Sherri and Harlem Heat.  Sherri reminds everyone that she has the best brother tag team in this promotion and any promotion throughout the land.  Sherri says that she is bringing Harlem Heat right to the top.  She says it doesn't matter who steps in their path, whether it's the Studd Stable or whether it's The Steiner Brothers, who jumped the line, by the way.  Speaking of going right to the top.  She announces that she has a brand new man that's going right to the top of World Championship Wrestling.  While Harlem Heat dominate the tag team division, this man will dominate the singles division.  She reintroduces to WCW, The Great Muta!  Muta walks into the screen and does a few martial arts moves before smiling and then blowing mist into the camera.  That turns the screen to dark and we go to the ring.

WdZYhlb.gifEPjkltT.jpgziu2kVT.gif

Match #3: WCW World Heavyweight Title Match
Hulk Hogan defends vs. Lex Luger

It's main event time and this is the biggest match in the history of WCW Monday Nitro!  An initial lockup sees Lex Luger actually pushing Hulk Hogan back into the corner.  Luger breaks at the count of four, takes a couple of steps back and flexes his muscles.  They lock up again and Hogan backs Luger into the corner this time.  Hogan breaks at the count of four, takes a couple of steps back and poses in front of Luger.  The two men circle each other again and Hogan locks Luger in a headlock.  Hogan grinds in on this move, looking to wear down The Total Package.  Luger finally pulls him back to the ropes and shoots Hogan across.  Luger and Hogan hit each other with shoulderblocks but neither man falls to the mat.  They stare at each other and then both bounce off the ropes and hit each other again but neither man backs off.  A third time both men go for a clothesline and both connect with them.  Both men fall to the mat.  With both men down, The Giant comes walking out from the back and stands at ringside as we go to commercial.

O5CrkjF.gif

Back from commercial, Lex Luger has taken control of the match.  He picks up Hulk Hogan and drops him with a hanging vertical suplex in the middle of the ring.  Luger makes the cover but only gets a one count.  Luger continues in control for several minutes in the ring before he tosses Hogan outside the ring at the feet of The Giant.  Luger steps back so the referee is always watching.  The Giant looks down at Hogan but doesn't do anything.  Hogan manages to pull himself up using the apron of the ring and climbs inside.  Luger goes right back on the attack.  For the next several minutes, Luger is in control.  He finally sends Hogan to the ropes and catches him with a powerslam!  Luger makes the cover: One, Two, BIG KICKOUT!  Hogan gets to his knees, shaking his head and drawing in the power from all the Hulkamaniacs.  Luger throws a punch but Hogan ignores it.  Another punch is ignored as Hogan gets to his feet.  Hogan points to Luger and waggles his finger.  Luger's next punch is blocked.  Another punch is blocked and then Hogan starts throwing the punches.  Hogan grabs Luger by the arm and the two of them turn right into a double clothesline from The Giant!  Referee Nick Patrick immediately calls for the bell at 15:51.

WdZYhlb.gifziu2kVT.gif2i5yKQl.gifYWvrdzZ.gif

A Giant Attack Gets Thwarted
The Giant roars over the fallen bodies of Lex Luger and Hulk Hogan.  He grabs referee Nick Patrick and throws him across the ring.  Then he turns his attention back to Luger and Hogan.  The Giant drops to a knee and places his hands around the throats of Luger and Hogan.  Luger and Hogan try to fight from underneath but The Giant shows his strength in holding them both down.  Here comes Sting and The Macho Man Randy Savage.  Savage climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps, hitting The Giant with a double axehandle to the back of the head.  This breaks the hold on Luger and Hogan.  Savage and Sting begin throwing kicks and punches and anything they can do to The Giant.  The Giant manages to get to his feet but Savage and Sting send him over the top rope to the floor with a double clothesline.  The Giant lands on his feet outside the ring.  Savage stares down The Giant as Sting helps Hulk Hogan and Lex Luger to their feet.  We go to our final commercial break of the night as The Giant heads to the back.

WdZYhlb.gifziu2kVT.gif2i5yKQl.gifYWvrdzZ.gif

The Ultimate Decision
Back from commercial and Hulk Hogan has a microphone.  He looks at The Total Package Lex Luger and tries to talk but his throat is hurting because of what The Giant did to him.  It takes a few moments of swallowing for him to finally ask Luger what his answer is.  Will Lex Luger join their team at Fall Brawl, at War Games?  Randy Savage intercepts the microphone before Luger can answer.  Savage goes face to face with Luger and says that he has never trusted him and never will trust him.  Savage says that this doesn't make for a good partnership.  However, he is not someone without a plan.  He says that there is one man that he thinks everyone can agree on for a partner at War Games.  He tells this person to come out to the ring and join them all.

Af8vxQW.gif

The crowd is absolutely stunned as music begins to play and out from the back comes Ultimate Warrior!  Warrior gets himself fired up at the top of the ramp and then runs his way down to the ring, sliding inside.  He beats his chest and brings his arms up and down, breathing out.  Savage hands Warrior the microphone and he says that he is ready for WAR!  A few snarls and growls come out.  Sting gets on the microphone and says that it is good to see Warrior again.  But he is on the side of Lex Luger for this one moment, this one time.  Sting and Luger stand on one side of the ring and Savage and Warrior stand on the other side of the ring with Hulk Hogan standing in the middle.  Hogan looks to both sides and says that, as the captain of this team, he will make his decision next week on Nitro.  Savage and Sting go face to face, while Warrior and Luger go face to face.  This is how the show ends.  We'll see you Saturday night for WCW Saturday Night!

Haven't posted in ages, but really wanted to show my support here as a former every day user who is now just a mere lurker. :D Great work, friend. Excited for more.

Hey Kijar!  It's great to see you still around here, whether you're just lurking or a daily user.  Glad that you have enjoyed the new diary so far.  I was in the ER last night/this morning so I am going to be a little slow right now.

Hope you’re feeling ok. Take all the time you need man. Your health is more important than anything. Sending you positive vibes.

Hey The Blonde Bomber.  Thanks for the words and the positive vibes.  Stupid recurring kidney stones can really set me back.
