angeldelayette Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Sunday Week 4 October 1995 WCW HALLOWEEN HAVOC Match #1 WCW World Tag Team Titles Match Benoit & Malenko (w/Eddy Guerrero) vs. The Rock 'N' Roll Express WCW Halloween Havoc kicks off with the arrival of The Rock 'N' Roll Express. Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson get a good crowd ovation. The crowd is definitely behind them in this contest against Technically Wonderful as Benoit & Malenko get booed as they walk out. The match is a contest pitting the speed and resilience of The Rock 'N' Roll Express against the technically ability of Benoit & Malenko. As is the usual, Ricky Morton plays the face-in-peril to perfection before making the hot tag to Robert Gibson. Gibson comes in and has punches for both Benoit and Malenko. Eddy Guerrero climbs on the apron and he takes a punch, knocking him off the apron. With the referee distracted, Benoit hits a low blow on Gibson. He brings him to the mat and locks on a crossface. Within a few moments, Gibson is forced to submit, giving Benoit and Malenko the win and the WCW World Tag Team titles at 18:28.Benoit & Malenko d. The Rock 'N' Roll Express =81 Oh Yeah! After a replay of the finish of the last match, we are taken down to Gene Okerlund and Randy Savage. Okerlund asks Savage about his match tonight with Sabu. Savage says he still doesn't know why Sabu attacked him since Sabu doesn't speak. But he says it doesn't matter because anyone who attacks him is going to get the Macho Madness. Savage says that tonight against Sabu is going to get intense. It's going to get wild. Oh yeah, dig it! Savage moves off as we go to the ring because this match is next. Match #2 Sabu (w/The Sheik) vs. Randy Savage Sabu comes out with The Sheik still in his corner, facing off with The Macho Man Randy Savage. This is a high flying contest between these two veteran wrestlers. The experience gives The Macho Man the edge in the early going. Savage gets Sabu in the corner and begins throwing punches. Sabu comes firing back with punches of his own and the two are brawling in the corner. Savage grabs Sabu and tosses him out of the ring. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits a flying double axehandle onto Sabu! Savage has the crowd in his favor as he grabs Sabu and tosses him back in the ring. Savage continues his control until he goes for his flying elbow drop and Sabu gets a boot up in the face of the Macho Man. Sabu gets in control, hitting Savage with an Arabian Piledriver and getting a two count. Sabu is tossed a chair by The Sheik and referee Randy Anderson warns him not to use it. Sabu lays Savage out near the middle of the ring and sets up the chair near the ropes. Sabu bounces off the ropes and gets tripped by Savage, knocking him into the set up chair. The referee lets it go as Savage pulls himself up. The Sheik gets on the apron and Savage turns toward him -- Fireball! Savage is burned by the fireball! The referee calls for the bell immediately, disqualifiying Sabu at 7:38!Randy Savage d. Sabu =80 A New Tag Team? As officials check on Randy Savage, we go backstage where we see Road Warrior Hawk come across Scott Steiner. Hawk wishes Steiner good luck in his match tonight and reminds him that he knows about partners going down with injuries. He says that he hopes that Rick Steiner gets better soon. However, both of them are tag team specialists. He says that it would be awesome to put two of the top tag teams in the world together. Hawk asks Steiner if he wants to be partners moving forward and become the next WCW World Tag Team Champions. Steiner says he'll think about it and give Hawk an answer soon. He shakes hands with Hawk and then we go to the ring for our next match. Match #3 Paul Orndorff (w/Eddy Guerrero) vs. Johnny B. Badd The third match of the night features the leader of Technically Wonderful taking on main rival Johnny B. Badd. The match begins with the speed of Badd taking control and eventually sending Orndorff out of the ring. Mr. Wonderful paces around before sliding back in the ring. He catches Badd with a forearm shot and then brings him down to the mat, keeping the high flyer grounded during this contest. Orndorff locks in an armbar and focuses on the right arm of Badd throughout the match. He releases the armbar and drives a knee into the forearm. Orndorff lifts Badd and hits him with a German suplex with a bridge: One, Two, Kickout! As the match moves forward, Orndorff goes for the Piledriver but Badd blocks and manages to reverse it into a back body drop. Both men are slow to get to their feet but both manage to do so at the same time. Badd throws some left handed punches, favoring that right arm. Badd hits the Tutti Frutti, that left handed hook that knocks Orndorff to the mat. Badd heads to the top turnbuckle. He goes for the Shooting Star Press but Orndorff gets the knees up! Orndorff turns Badd into the Piledriver position but Badd swings around and rolls up Orndorff: One, Two, Three! A big win for Johnny B. Badd!Johnny B. Badd p. Paul Orndorff =60 Sitting In The Crowd The camera pans around the crowd and in what will come as a shock to many people we see Shawn Michaels sitting in the crowd watching WCW action! Michaels tries to cover himself up but the cameras clearly caught the former WWF Intercontinental Champion watching WCW action. What a huge surprise for the fans here at the War Memorial Stadium! Hulk Hogan We go backstage to see Gene Okerlund standing by with Hulk Hogan. Okerlund talks about what a big surprise it is to see Shawn Michaels in the crowd. Then he turns his attention to Hulk Hogan. He says that Hogan has a huge title defense tonight against The Giant. He asks Hogan his thoughts going into this match. "Well, let me tell you something, brother!" Hogan says that tonight all of his attentions are on that big nasty Giant that is standing in his way. Fe Fi Fo Fum, brother. He says that just like Jack and the beanstalk he's going to cut that nasty Giant down and get a victory, dude. He says he's not afraid of The Giant and he's not afraid of The Taskmaster because he's got all the Hulkamaniacs in his corner, brother. He says he saw what The Giant did yesterday on WCW Saturday Night but he's not a tree, brother. He is the top wrestler in this business and tonight he is going to prove it. So Giant what ya gonna do when the power of Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania runs wild over you?!?! Match #4 Casket Match Stevie Ray (w/Sensuous Sherri) vs. Scott Steiner We are halfway through the show with this contest as Stevie Ray steps in the ring against Scott Steiner with a casket at ringside. The only way to win this bout is to stuff your opponent in the casket and close the lid. The two men meet in the center of the ring and exchange some words off-microphone, leading to Stevie Ray slapping the taste out of Steiner's mouth. Steiner responds with a standing Steiner-line! Steiner picks up Ray and shoves him into a corner. Steiner climbs up and begins raining down punches. He gets to five before Ray shoves Steiner to the mat. Steiner pops back up and runs into a clothesline by Stevie Ray. Ray motions to Sherri and she opens the casket. Ray starts moving Steiner toward the casket but Steiner fights back. The casket is closed as Steiner regains the control. As we move forward in the match, we have Booker T and The Great Muta now at ringside. The match has gone back and forth, with both men trying to get the other into the casket but there's been no luck thus far. More than ten minutes in and Steiner has had to face both members of Harlem Heat and The Great Muta. Booker T comes in the ring and catches Steiner with a Harlem Sidekick. Booker checks on his brother and then turns into a hard-hitting clothesline from Road Warrior Hawk! Hawk is here and he beats down Booker T, sending him spiraling out of the ring. Hawk exits the ring and catches Booker T with a military press slam onto the top of the casket. Back in the ring, Steiner and Stevie Ray are brawling in the center of the ring. Ray rakes the face of Steiner and then slips behind him. He holds Steiner by the arms and The Great Muta comes in the ring. The Great Muta spits the mist -- NO! Steiner ducks the mist and it hits Stevie Ray! Stevie Ray is blinded by the mist! Steiner catches The Great Muta with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex! He goes to Stevie Ray and catches him with the Steiner Screwdriver! Steiner drags Ray outside the ring and opens the casket. He dumps Stevie Ray inside the casket and closes the lid! Scott Steiner wins this hard-hitting affair!Scott Steiner d. Stevie Ray =71 Genius Corner At a staging area, the place is set up for The Genius Corner. Lanny Poffo talks about bringing back The Genius Corner at least on every pay-per-view. This week, he has a very special veteran guest making his return to WCW. This man is a former World Champion in another organization. This man is The Iron Sheik! The Iron Sheik walks out from the back, drawing boos and USA chants from the crowd. The Iron Sheik walks to Poffo and Poffo welcomes The Iron Sheik to the Genius Corner. Sheik says that he is the man who is genius because he is from Iran where all the best wrestlers come from. Poffo asks Sheik why he's here in WCW. The Iron Sheik says he's here to prove once again that the best wrestlers come from Iran. He says that means he is here to beat that idiot Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight title. Sheik reminds Poffo that Iran is number one. America? Hock ptooie! Poffo says that we have another future challenger for the title before sending us to the ring. Match #5 Blue Bloods vs. The Renegade and Ultimate Warrior The next match is an extremely short match as Blue Bloods take on The Renegade and Ultimate Warrior. This is a match dominated by Renegade and Ultimate Warrior. There are a few clotheslines here and there. A few body slams. Nothing too technical in the contest, honestly, though Lord Steven Regal and Earl Robert Eaton do try their best. The end comes when Ultimate Warrior hits Lord Steven Regal with the gorilla press drop and then the big splash. Warrior makes the cover, hooking the leg: One, Two, Three!Renegade and Ultimate Warrior p. Blue Bloods =56 Finished After Tonight Backstage, Ric Flair and Sting cut a promo on their match tonight with Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman. Flair admits that the two of them don't make a great tag team as was proven in their previous match. He says he wants the best matches each and every week. That means that the two of them must split apart after tonight. Sting agrees with them but says they still might need to watch each other's backs because of these two that they're facing tonight. But Sting says they need to make tonight amazing and get a victory. Flair agrees and reminds Arn Anderson that to be the man, you have to beat the man and he is, as always, the man. A whooo is thrown in there before we go to the ring. Match #6 WCW United States Title Match Vader (w/Col. Robert Parker) defends vs. Lex Luger A big hard-hitting contest between these two strong men in Vader and The Total Package Lex Luger. The first few minutes of the bout are spent feeling each other out in the ring and testing each other's strengths. They each go for clotheslines but cannot knock the other one down. Finally, Luger strikes by bouncing off the ropes and hitting Vader with that steel-plate enhanced forearm. It sends Vader down to the mat. Luger gets the crowd involved and goes after Vader, picking him up and putting him in the corner. Luger throws punches, climbing up and raining more punches down on Vader as the big man tries to cover himself up. Luger drops down after ten and calls for the Human Torture Rack! Can he get the big man up? He lifts Vader up but then falls onto his stomach with Vader on top of him. He wasn't able to keep Vader up. Vader goes for the ribs of Luger for the next few minutes with stomps and then a German suplex that sends Luger flying out of the ring. Vader meets Luger at ringside and Irish whips him into the guardrail, hitting Luger's ribs there. Vader grabs Luger and tosses him back in the ring as the crowd tries to get behind The Total Package. Vader heads to the top turnbuckle and goes for the Vadersault but Luger moves out of the way! Both men are slow to get to their feet and then meet in the center of the ring with punches. Luger tries to lift Vader with a body slam but he cannot do it, grabbing his ribs again. Vader quickly steps in and wraps Luger in a Bear Hug! Vader squeezes those ribs and Luger tries to fight free but slowly begins to fade. The referee checks the arm of Luger and it looks like Luger has passed out from the pain. The referee calls for the bell. Vader picks up the win in 12:11.Vader d. Lex Luger =82 Brand New Title We go to the announcers and Eric Bischoff tells everyone that he hopes they're enjoying the show so far. Then, Bobby Heenan announces that they have a brand new title coming to WCW. That's right, says Eric Bischoff. This brand new title is going to be called the X-Division title. He says there are no limits to this title. Just the best wrestling in the company. That title is coming soon but also coming soon is World War 3 in November. Bischoff says that the World War 3 battle royal will be something different for WCW. It will feature 30 of the best wrestlers in WCW. Two men start in the ring and every two minutes another wrestler comes out until all 30 wrestlers have been involved. The only way to eliminate someone is to throw them over the top rope and both their feet hit the floor. The last man standing will get the World title match at Starrcade. So make sure to tune in next month. But remain right here because we have a huge match coming next. Match #7 Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman vs. Ric Flair and Sting Our semi main event features Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman versus Ric Flair and Sting. Sort of. In the early minutes of the match, all four men do battle inside the ring. Flair and Sting get control and Sting sets up Pillman in the corner. Sting goes for the Stinger Splash but Pillman moves and Sting hits the ring post with the top of his head. Sting falls to the mat and EMTs come out to check on him. He actually gets helped to the back and we are left with a handicap match as Ric Flair must take on both Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman. Flair does a good job in the early goings of the match, lacing the chest of Anderson with a chop and then hits Pillman with one. Flair moves back to Anderson but Pillman comes in and holds Flair by the legs. Anderson strikes Flair with a punch and he takes control. Quick tags in and out are made by both Anderson and Pillman, working over Flair. Flair manages to get a few shots in but he is mostly dominated by Anderson and Pillman at this time. When Pillman is in the ring, he takes down Flair with a headscissors and then a dropkick that sends Flair out of the ring. Pillman leaps over the ropes with a flying crossbody onto Flair outside the ring. Pillman yells at Flair and then two men come out from the back. Those two men are Shane Douglas and Tully Blanchard. They move into a neutral corner, watching the match. Brian Pillman brings Ric Flair back in the ring and tags out to Arn Anderson. Anderson grabs a hammerlock on Flair and then brings him up and down with a body slam. Anderson sets up Flair for the Anderson DDT but it's blocked by Flair. Flair wiggles his way free and then clips the leg of Anderson. With Flair and Anderson down on the mat, Sting finally makes his way from the back. He has a large bandage on his forehead. He's met by Shane Douglas and Tully Blanchard but he manages to fight his way through them! Sting climbs up on the apron and is absolutely begging for a tag. Sting reaches out as Flair begins crawling toward the corner. Anderson crawls toward his corner and tags in Pillman! Pillman comes in just in time to see Flair tag Sting! Sting comes in throwing punches to Pillman. Arn Anderson comes in and he gets hit with an inverted atomic drop. Sting takes down Pillman with a clothesline. Flair asks for the tag and Sting obliges him! Flair bounces off the ropes and hits...Pillman with a chop across the chest. Flair struts across the ring and Pillman tags in The Enforcer. Tully Blanchard climbs up on the apron, drawing the attention of the referee and Ric Flair. Shane Douglas comes in with a lead pipe in hand. He strikes Flair in the back of the knee with the pipe! Douglas rolls out of the ring and Arn Anderson grabs Ric Flair, locking him in a Figure Four! Sting is pulled off the apron and sent into the guardrail by Douglas. Tully Blanchard climbs off the apron and the referee checks on Flair. After about a minute, Flair is forced to submit! Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman win in 19:48.Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman p. Ric Flair and Sting =81 New Group Forming Outside the ring, Shane Douglas and Tully Blanchard continue their attack on Sting. They lay him out on the floor before moving in the ring where Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman are attacking Ric Flair. Anderson lets go of the Figure Four and Douglas picks up Flair, dropping him with the side belly to belly suplex. The crowd boos loudly as the four men put the boots to Flair. With Flair laid out in the ring and Sting laid out outside the ring, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Shane Douglas and Brian Pillman stand in the ring side by side. All four men raise four fingers. Could this be the formation of a new Four Horsemen?!?!?! Gift Box We go to the backstage area where we see Ultimate Warrior walking down a corridor. There's a note on a door asking him to come inside. Warrior tilts his head in confusion for a moment before opening the door and walking in. The room is dimly lit and in the very center stands a table with a gift box on it. The tag says 'Ultimate Warrior.' Warrior opens the box and up comes a cobra! Warrior's eyes go wide and he tries to back away but the cobra snaps, biting Warrior in the arm. Warrior falls backward and begins trying to crawl away as we go back to the ring for our main event. Match #8 WCW World Heavyweight Title Match Hulk Hogan defends vs. The Giant (w/The Taskmaster) It is main event time and time for the WCW World Heavyweight title to be defended as Hulk Hogan faces off with one of his largest foes of his career in The Giant. When the bell sounds, the two men meet in the center of the ring. The Giant looks down at Hogan and Hogan looks up at The Giant. Hogan hits The Giant in the chest with a forearm shot but The Giant doesn't move. Instead, The Giant grabs Hogan and shoves him back in the corner. Hogan only remains standing by falling into the turnbuckle. Hogan pushes himself forward and begins striking The Giant in the chest with several forearm shots. He tries to lift The Giant with a body slam but The Giant's weight comes crashing down on Hogan. The referee drops down: One, Two, Shoulder Up! The Giant smiles, as though he wants the match to continue. The Giant picks up Hogan and shoves him into a corner. He rushes toward him and hits a reverse avalanche. He stays in that corner and begins firing rapid fire elbow strikes to Hogan. He pulls out of the corner and takes down Hogan with a body slam. The Giant roars in the ring to boos from the crowd. The crowd begins to chant 'Hogan, Hogan' and for the next several minutes, The Giant remains in control. The Giant tosses Hogan outside the ring around the ten minute mark. The Giant follows Hulk Hogan outside the ring and hits him with a running big boot, sending Hogan down to the thin mats outside the ring. The Giant talks with The Taskmaster and then goes back after Hogan. He picks up Hogan in a press slam fashion and throws Hogan in the ring over the top rope from the floor! The Giant slides back in and catches Hogan with a sharp, crisp clothesline. The 'Hogan' chant picks up in the crowd again. The Giant sends Hogan to the ropes and catches him with a dropkick. The Giant makes the cover: One, Two, KICKOUT! A huge kickout from Hogan! Hogan's body shakes with adrenaline as he rises to his knees. The Giant throws a punch but Hogan shakes it off. Hogan gets to his feet, drawing energy from this crowd. He points toward The Giant and then waggles his finger. The Giant throws a punch but Hogan blocks it! Hogan throws a punch! A second one! A third one! Hogan sends The Giant to the ropes and hits him with a big boot to the chest and then a body slam that brings The Giant to the mat. Hogan cups his ear, listening to the fans cheer. He bounces off the ropes and is hit in the back with a chair by The Taskmaster! The referee saw it and calls for the bell. The Giant has been disqualified at 18:47!Hulk Hogan d.

The Taskmaster slides inside and Hogan follows. But Hogan runs right into The Giant! The Giant grabs Hogan by the throat and lifts him up, dropping him with a Choke Slam! The Giant puts the boots to Hogan several times before grabbing Hogan by the throat and choking him on the mat. Hogan tries to fight but seems no match for the power of The Giant. The Giant picks up Hogan and drives him THROUGH THE MAT with a second Choke Slam! The mat literally broke with the power of that Choke Slam! Officials and EMTs come running out to check on Hogan. The Giant stands over the hole he made in the ring and roars as The Taskmaster stands beside him. The Taskmaster says this is the end of Hulkamania! The show comes to a close with officials trying to work to get Hogan out of the underneath part of the ring. We'll see you tomorrow with Monday Nitro!

angeldelayette Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Monday Week 1 November 1995 WCW MONDAY NITRO Celebrating The End of Hulkamania? The show begins with The Taskmaster and The Giant walking down toward the ring. A split-screen shows highlights from the main event of Halloween Havoc. We are shown The Giant choke slamming Hulk Hogan through the ring. The announcers let us know that Hogan will not be in the building this week. In the ring, The Taskmaster says that last night they saw the end of Hulkamania. He says that they have a huge celebration here with The Dungeon Of Doom. He laughs and says that he can finally say that Hulkamania is -- he is interrupted by the arrival of Sting. Sting says that the demise of Hulkamania has been premature. He says that he is here to say that next week will see the return of Hulk Hogan to the Five Season's Center in Cedar Rapids. He then challenges The Giant to a match next week on Monday Nitro. After a moment, The Taskmaster accepts the challenge and says that The Giant will put Sting in a hospital room beside Hulk Hogan. Sting smiles and walks away. The Taskmaster takes The Giant to the back before we go to our first match. Match #1 Lord Steven Regal vs. Rey Misterio Jr. The opening bout is a mixture of technical skill against high flying skill. The announcers talk about that this is the type of match you can expect from the X-Division. The crowd is hot for this back and forth contest. Regal brings the action down to the mat, focusing in on the both the arms and the legs of Misterio. He throws Misterio with an Exploder suplex, scoring a two count. He hits a tiger suplex to score another two count. He goes for the Regal Stretch but Misterio manages to get to the ropes before it can be applied. Regal pulls up Misterio and the high flyer catches Regal with a wheelbarrow into a bulldog. Misterio gets the match sped up, sending Regal out of the ring. Misterio bounces off the ropes and hits a baseball slide into a headscissors takedown. Misterio brings Regal into the ring and finishes him off with a Springboard Hurricanrana into a pinfall: One, Two, Three! Rey Misterio Jr. wins in 10:04.Rey Misterio Jr. d. Lord Steven Regal =79 Demolishers At the ramp, Gene Okerlund is standing by. Okerlund welcomes to the ramp the newest tag team here in WCW, The Demolishers. Okerlund welcomes them to WCW and then Axis takes the microphone. Axis says that they are here to prove that they are the best tag team in the world. He says that means taking the WCW World Tag Team titles from Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko. Smasher says that they are going to smash the competition, including the champions and win the gold. With all that being said, Okerlund sends us to the ring for our next match. Sitting In The Crowd Again Instead of going to the ring, though, we are taken to the crowd where we see Shawn Michaels, once again, sitting in the audience. The WWF worker looks to the camera and smiles but does nothing more than that. The announcers talk about the fact that he works for another promotion up north. They wonder why he is here where the big boys play. Without getting any answers, we go to the ring for our second bout. Match #2 Tully & Arn vs. American Males This second bout is a tag team match pitting the team of Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson against American Males. This match is dominated by Tully and Arn. The two men take turns focusing on the arms of both Marcus Bagwell and Scotty Riggs. As usual, Anderson picks a body part and stays with it throughout the match. This time it's the right arm. They keep Marcus Bagwell in the ring and on their side of the mat. Blanchard catches Bagwell with a slingshot suplex and then sets him up for the Spiked Piledriver, tagging in Double A. Arn Anderson climbs to the second turnbuckle and leaps down with the Spiked Piledriver. Anderson locks Bagwell in an armbar and he is forced to submit, giving the win to Tully & Arn at 6:20.Tully & Arn d. American Males =68 New Four Horsemen? Back at the ramp stands Gene Okerlund. He is joined on both sides by Tully & Arn, Brian Pillman and Shane Douglas. Okerlund asks Anderson about this new group. Anderson declares that this is the new Four Horsemen unit here in WCW. It is the first Four Horsemen unit without Ric Flair. All four men hold up four fingers. Douglas speaks up, saying the Extreme Franchise is headed right to the top alongside these three men. Pillman laughs and says he's proud to be a member of the new Horsemen. After the speech, Pillman walks toward the ring because his match is next. Match #3 Brian Pillman vs. Scott Steiner It's time for our first hour main event where Brian Pillman steps in the ring with Scott Steiner. The two men have good chemistry and it shows in this bout. This is a solid back and forth contest with both men getting in a pretty good amount of offense. When Steiner has the advantage, he throws Pillman with an overhead belly to belly suplex. As soon as Pillman gets up, he gets laid out with the Steinerline. Steiner gets the crowd involved before sending Pillman to the ropes. He catches him with a tilt-a-whirl slam and gets a two count. Steiner calls for the Frankensteiner and pulls up Pillman. He sends Pillman to the ropes but Pillman grabs the top rope. Steiner leaps and drops to the mat on his back. Brian Pillman moves in on Steiner, getting him to the corner and lacing his chest with chops. He moves in and drops Steiner with the Tornado DDT. He makes a cover and gets a two count. Pillman picks up Steiner and locks in a seated abdominal stretch. Steiner starts to fade in the submission hold but his arm only drops twice. With the third, his arm remains up and he manages to throw Pillman to the mat. Both of them slowly get to their feet. Steiner meets Pillman in the middle of the ring with punches. He sends Pillman to the ropes and Pillman comes back with a running dropkick on Steiner. Pillman slides out to the apron, waiting for Steiner to get to his feet. Steiner slowly gets up, staggering around. Pillman leaps off the top rope with Air Pillman! He connects and makes the cover: One, Two, Three! Brian Pillman picks up a victory at 16:31.Brian Pillman p. Scott Steiner =83 New Tag Team? The match is over and Scott Steiner is down on the mat. Here comes Harlem Heat! Booker T and Stevie Ray slide in the ring and begin throwing punches to Steiner. Booker motions to his brother and Stevie Ray lifts Scott Steiner up only for Booker to drop him with a Harlem Sidekick. The crowd boos this attack. But the cheers come when Road Warrior Hawk hits the ring! Hawk takes down Booker T with a clothesline. Stevie Ray goes in and begins brawling with Hawk. Hawk manages to send Ray over the top rope to the floor. Hawk turns his attention to Scott Steiner, helping him up. He offers Steiner a handshake and Steiner accepts it after a moment. The two men raise each other's arms and then walk off together. Could we see a new tag team formed? Now A New Four Horsemen, Right? The second hour begins with the arrival of the Nature Boy Ric Flair. A lot of 'Whoo's' fill the crowd with Flair in the ring. Flair begins by asking them what's causing all this? He says it's the Nature Boy and he's live right here in the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah. He says there's a party going on tonight in Utah and it's going to be with the Nature Boy. Flair says he heard what Arn Anderson said earlier tonight and he has to ask the crowd here if there can be a Four Horsemen team without the best wrestler in the game today? The answer is a resounding no from the crowd. Therefore, Flair announces that he is going to create his own Four Horsemen unit. He says he is going to be searching both in and out of WCW for the best wrestlers to join the true Four Horsemen. His second announcement is that he has signed himself up for the World War 3 battle royal. He says he has experience winning these types of battle royals, after all. He goes to finish when someone comes out from the back. It's Rey Misterio, Jr.! The crowd seems surprised at Misterio interrupting Ric Flair tonight. Flair asks Misterio what he wants as Misterio enters the ring. Misterio offers a hand shake to Flair and Flair accepts. Then, Misterio says it would be an honor to be a part of Ric Flair's new Four Horsemen group. Flair doesn't say yes right away. Instead, he reminds Misterio that there is a party going on in Utah tonight. He invites Misterio as his guest to the party and he says they'll see if Misterio can keep up with a Horsemen lifestyle. Misterio gladly accepts the challenge and the two men shake hands again. Flair walks over to the ropes and Misterio holds them open for him. Flair and Misterio exit the ring together as we go to a video clip. WCW Saturday Night A video plays showcasing what's going to happen this week on WCW Saturday Night.

Make sure you tune in to TBS at 6:05 PM EST. Match #4 Earl Robert Eaton vs. Randy Savage The second member of Blue Bloods steps in the ring in singles action against the Macho Man Randy Savage. These two veterans put on a really good wrestling match, given the short amount of time they were given. Savage was mostly in control of the bout, showcasing the usual double axehandle off the top rope and basic moves like body slams and hip tosses. Savage puts Eaton down on the mat with a body slam near the turnbuckles. He climbs to the top and raises his arms. Then he leaps and catches Eaton with a Flying Elbow Drop off the top turnbuckle. Savage makes the cover: One, Two, Three! Randy Savage picks up the win at 5:34.Randy Savage p. Earl Robert Eaton =70 Technically Wonderful Celebration We cut to a scene from last night where Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko return to the backstage area with the WCW World Tag Team titles. Eddy Guerrero is there with him and says they need to celebrate this victory. He says that this is the first gold for Technically Wonderful but not the last. Benoit and Malenko merely nod, looking stoic like they always do. Guerrero opens a bottle of champagne and the liquid goes flying through the air, drenching all three members of Technically Wonderful. The celebration continues as we go to the ring. WCW World Television Title Match 10 Minute Time Limit Diamond Dallas Page (w/Diamond Doll and Maxx Muscle) defends vs. Alex Wright Our next match is a defense of the WCW World Television title as Diamond Dallas Page defends versus Alex Wright. This was a well executed squash match as DDP was in control for almost all the time this bout was put on. DDP hits Wright with the Trip To The Diamond Mine, a tilt-a-whirl slam. He catches Wright with an inverted atomic drop and a clap to the ears. DDP plays to the booing crowd as Diamond Doll and Maxx Muscle stand at ringside. Finally, DDP puts Wright on his shoulders and then drops him with the Diamond Cutter. He makes the cover: One, Two, Three! Diamond Dallas Page defends his WCW World Television title at 5:44. Make sure to tune in to WCW Saturday Night where he will defend the title again.Diamond Dallas Page p. Alex Wright =67 The BiteThe Renegade Warrior is shown walking backstage. He opens a door and walks into a dark room. He looks toward the camera and says that Ultimate Warrior will be back soon from the injury suffered by the snake. He says that he will seek revenge on whoever did that to his mentor. The lights in the room come on and inside the room are several Cobras, slithering along the walls. The lights go out and a deep, dark laughter can be heard. Some may recognize that laughter, some might not. The Renegade Warrior's screams can be heard echoing off the walls as we fade out and go to the ring for our main event. Match #6 Eddy Guerrero vs. Ric Flair Speaking of that main event, we have an exceptional match between two great wrestlers as Eddy Guerrero steps in the ring with The Nature Boy Ric Flair. The two men meet in the middle of the ring and lock-up with Flair backing Guerrero in a corner. Flair unleashes a hard chop to the chest and a second one before Guerrero is able to slip free and back Flair in the corner instead. Guerrero throws a few forearm shots to the head and then sends Flair flying with a hip toss out of the corner. Guerrero takes control for the first several minutes of the bout. He backs Flair into a corner and sends him flying out with a monkey flip. Guerrero tries to move forward but Flair slips out of the ring. Guerrero comes running to the ropes and leaps over, catching Flair with a Hilo before bringing the action back in the ring. Guerrero sends Flair to a corner but Flair bounces up and over to the apron. Flair runs across the apron and gets to the top turnbuckle where he's met by Guerrero. Guerrero slams Flair off the top turnbuckle. Guerrero picks up Flair and hits him with a vertical suplex, swiveling his hips and getting back up and hitting a second vertical suplex. He pulls Flair up and wiggles his hips before hitting a third vertical suplex in a row. Guerrero makes the cover: One, Two, Kickout! Guerrero heads to the top turnbuckle. He leaps with a flying knee drop but Flair moves and Guerrero's knee hits the mat. Both Ric Flair and Eddy Guerrero are slow to get to their feet at around the ten minute mark. Flair kicks the knee of Guerrero out from under him and begins his focus on that right knee of Guerrero. He lays the knee across the bottom rope and hits a seated senton on that leg. Guerrero grabs it in pain. Flair gives a strut across the ring and releases a 'Whoo' that is echoed by the crowd. Flair goes for the Figure Four but Guerrero rolls him into a small package: One, Two, Kickout! Flair pops back up and lifts Guerrero, hitting a shin breaker. Then he bounces off the ropes and hits the running, jumping knee drop. Flair has the crowd solidly in his corner. Flair moves to the legs of Guerrero and locks in the Figure Four. Guerrero struggles for about a minute and a half before he is forced to submit. Ric Flair wins at 20:12.Ric Flair d. Eddy Guerrero =84 Return Of A Hot Rod The ring is cleared and it looks like we are reaching the end of this week's WCW Monday Nitro. Then, we hear the sound of bagpipes being played. The announcers are shocked when Roddy Piper makes his return to WCW. The crowd gives him a warm welcome as he walks down to the ring. He steps inside and a 'Piper' chant begins to move through the crowd. Piper takes a microphone and says, so you know who I am, huh? I haven't been forgotten. Well, remember, just when you think you have all the answers, I change the questions. He says that he's not here to absorb your cheers. He says he's here for one reason and that's to take the WCW World Heavyweight title off the waist of Hulk Hogan. He reminds everyone that he's the one wrestler that Hogan could never beat. So, he says, he's going to enter the World War 3 battle royal and win the whole thing. Then, he's headed to Starrcade to take that title. He says that he's the reason Hogan's got no hair. He points toward the Starrcade sign and says he's headed back to Starrcade to win the World title. Now, it's time for him to go because he doesn't want to stay in this city any longer than he has to. His music begins playing and the crowd has started giving Piper some boos. Piper exits the ring as the show comes to a close. We'll see you this Saturday for WCW Saturday Night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeldelayette Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Monday Week 2 November 1995 WCW MONDAY NITRO Hulk Hogan Returns! He's American Made! This edition of WCW Monday Nitro begins with the arrival of the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan! The crowd cheers for Hogan as he walks out and enters the ring. Hogan cups his ear and draws cheers from the crowd. The fans here at the Five Season's Center seem happy to see Hulk Hogan back in a WCW ring. Hogan says that he suffered through some pain at Halloween Havoc, brother. But you know what? He was the winner, dudes. He still has the WCW World Heavyweight title belt. He says that the power of Hulkamania is still standing, brother. He cups his ear to the crowd again. Then come the boos as we have the arrival of The Taskmaster and The Giant. The Taskmaster and The Giant stay at ringside but The Taskmaster says that he wants another shot for his giant. Hulk Hogan pauses for a moment and then says he'll grant The Giant a match at World War 3 but with the following stipulation: if The Giant loses, this is the last title shot for The Giant while Hogan is still the World Champion. The Giant roars and then agrees to the stipulation because he is going to win the title in their next bout. Hogan celebrates with the crowd, posing in the ring before exiting. He walks past The Giant and heads to the back. The Giant walks off next, while The Taskmaster remains at ringside. Match #1 Zodiac (w/The Taskmaster) vs. Rey Misterio Jr. Our opening contest features Zodiac from The Dungeon of Doom against Rey Misterio Jr., a possible future member of the Four Horsemen. It is Zodiac's unpredictable nature going up against the speed and agility of Rey Misterio, Jr.. Zodiac takes an early advantage on the smaller man, striking him with a running high knee to the back. This sends Misterio out of the ring. Zodiac gets the referee's attention and The Taskmaster catches Misterio with a kneelift and then rams him into the apron before sending him back inside the ring. Zodiac moves in to Misterio, picking him up and setting him on the top turnbuckle. He sets up for a Superplex but Misterio blocks it. Misterio blocks it twice before shoving Zodiac off the top turnbuckle to the mat. Misterio leaps, catching Zodiac with a flying cross body. He scores a two count off that. Misterio gets the crowd behind him. He bounces off the ropes and catches Zodiac with a wheelbarrow bodyscissors. He pops up and hits the DDT. Misterio continues in control throughout the rest of the match. He catches Zodiac with a Springboard Hurricanrana into a pinfall: One, Two, Three! Rey Misterio, Jr. wins the match at 9:33!Rey Misterio Jr. p. Zodiac =67 Who Should Get The Horsemen? We go to the backstage area where we see Arn Anderson turn a corner and walk right into Ric Flair. Anderson clearly gets upset, telling Flair that he brought back the Horsemen and that Flair needs to step away. Flair says there cannot be a Four Horsemen without Ric Flair. He says that he will be introducing his three other wrestlers next week on Nitro. Anderson says they will pale in comparison to his Four Horsemen. Flair says he doesn't think so but then gets dropped from behind by Shane Douglas. Douglas picks up Flair and hits the Franchiser. Douglas looks down at Flair and spits on him before he walks away with Arn Anderson. Match #2 Shane Douglas vs. Brian Knobbs Our second match of the night features The Extreme Franchise Shane Douglas against one of the Nasty Boys Brian Knobbs. The match is dominated by the Extreme Franchise. Douglas catches Knobbs with a running neckbreaker early on but only gets a one count. Douglas sends Knobbs to the ropes and then catches him with a scoop powerslam. Douglas plays to the crowd, drawing some boos. He raises up four fingers and then picks up Knobbs. He plants Knobbs on the mat with the side belly to belly suplex. He says he's not done, though. He picks up Knobbs and hits the Franchiser. Douglas makes a lackluster cover: One, Two, Three! Shane Douglas wins the match at 5:47!Shane Douglas p. Brian Knobbs =50 A Snake A dark room is shown. By the very dim light in the background, a person can be seen seated in a rocking chair in the middle of the room. The unknown person begins talking about the first sin. He says that Adam and Eve were tempted by a snake and it led to their downfall. He says that the Ultimate Warrior and Renegade Warrior were tempted by a snake. They failed to fight back and that was their downfall. The man says that he is here to tempt the Ultimate Warrior. He is the snake in the Ultimate Warrior's garden. He says that the two of them will fall by his side and fall in line with him. He laughs and says 'Trust me.' With that, he falls silent and we go to the ring. Match #3 Earl Robert Eaton vs. Lex Luger Our first hour main event features Earl Robert Eaton stepping in the ring with the Total Package Lex Luger. The announcers spend some time talking about what happened between Luger and Vader at Halloween Havoc. Two veterans of the ring collide in this match that is a back and forth contest. Eaton has been on a losing streak lately and he is looking to change that with this match. Eaton manages to catch Luger with a swinging neckbreaker early on to score a two count. Eaton stands up and bows to boos from the crowd. Eaton picks up Luger and sends him back in a corner. Eaton meets Luger in the corner and throws a few punches with his right hand and then a hard left. Eaton whips Luger across the ring -- reversed by Luger! Eaton smashes into the turnbuckle, bouncing out. Luger catches him with a clothesline as he bounces out. Luger takes control of the bout and despite a few bursts of momentum by Eaton the match is mostly Luger in control. The end comes when Luger sends Eaton to the ropes and hits the powerslam. He stands up and makes the sign for the Human Torture Rack. He picks up Eaton and lifts him in the Rack. Eaton struggles but is forced to submit! Lex Luger wins in 12:06.Lex Luger d. Earl Robert Eaton =80 Open Challenge Accepted At the end of the first hour, Lex Luger celebrates his victory. He asks for and receives a microphone. Luger says that he is the one who accepted the open challenge issued by Vader on WCW Saturday Night. Luger promises that he is going to win back the United States title. He reminds everyone that he is the top wrestler in this company because he has the fans behind him. Luger says he's back and he's stronger than ever. He says that no official is going to stop the match this time. Instead, he is going to walk away as the United States Champion. Luger flips the microphone to the ground and exits the ring, high fiving the fans on his way to the back. Macho Man Interrupted At the top of the ramp, Gene Okerlund is standing by. He reminds everyone to call the WCW Hotline. He says he has the latest scoops on not just World Championship Wrestling but on the wrestling world in general. Okerlund brings out his guest, Randy Savage. The Macho Man walks out from the back to cheers from the fans here at the Five Season's Center. To begin things, Randy Savage announces that he will be taking part in the World War 3 battle royal. He says that this will be the opportunity of a lifetime to face Hulk Hogan at Starrcade for the WCW World Heavyweight title. Savage says that it will be Hogan because Hogan is going to beat The Giant at World War 3. Savage's words are interrupted by the playing of bagpipes and the arrival of Roddy Piper. Piper joins Savage at the top of the ramp. Savage immediately asks Piper what he wants. Piper laughs and says that it's a real joke if Savage thinks he's going to win the battle royal. Piper says that he and Savage have been around for a long time but they've never fought inside a WCW ring. Piper challenges Savage to meet him on WCW Monday Nitro next week. Savage says he's never backed down from a challenge and he's not backing down from this one. Piper slaps Savage but Savage shoves Piper to the ground. Savage turns and walks off while an angry Piper yells at Savage that he's going to pay for that next week. Match #4 WCW World Television Title Match 10 Minute Time Limit Diamond Dallas Page (w/Diamond Doll and Maxx Muscle) defends vs. Disco Inferno The WCW World Television title is on the line as Diamond Dallas Page takes on Disco Inferno. Inferno does a little dancing at the beginning of the match but the dance is over when DDP throws a straight right hand. The match is mostly dominated by DDP, who sends Inferno to the ropes and catches him with a tilt-a-whirl suplex. DDP plays to the crowd, who boo him in return. DDP lifts Inferno up and catches him with a gutwrench into a gutbuster. DDP throws up the signal for the Diamond Cutter. He picks up Inferno and lifts Inferno on his shoulders -- Diamond Cutter! DDP makes the nonchalant cover: One, Two, Three! Another successful title defense by Diamond Dallas Page in 8:35.Diamond Dallas Page p. Disco Inferno =55 Mortis And Wrath A video begins to play showcasing two men in a Mortal Kombat style fight. A lot of martial arts techniques are shown by the two as they go back and forth. One of those men is the man named Mortis. The other is an unknown wrestler. Mortis finishes the other man with the Flatliner. A larger man walks in and introduces himself as Wrath. Mortis and Wrath bow to each other and a voiceover lets us know that Mortis and Wrath are coming soon to WCW. New Member Of The Dungeon Of Doom Another video begins to play. This one takes place in the deep, dark jungles. The Taskmaster is shown walking through the jungles with the animals bowing out of his way as he walks. The Taskmaster enters a hidden cave where drawings of a large man can be seen. The man steps forward and slowly bows to The Taskmaster. The Taskmaster welcomes The Barbarian to the Dungeon of Doom. The Barbarian rises up and The Taskmaster takes his hand. The two of them walk from the cave and The Taskmaster says they need him right now. As The Taskmaster and The Barbarian walk through the jungle, we go to the ring. Match #5 Paul Roma (w/Woman) vs. Ric Flair Pretty Paul Roma, a former member of the Horsemen, along with Woman takes on 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair. Roma walks up to Flair and says he should be back in the Horsemen. Flair responds that he wouldn't make that mistake again. Roma gets offended and slaps Flair. Flair grabs Roma and brings him back in the corner, hitting a knife-edge chop on Roma's chest again and again. Roma finally staggers out of the corner and Flair hits a chop block on the back of Roma's knee. Roma drops down and grabs his foot in pain. We'd find out later on that he suffered a dislocated toe when he came down to the mat. Flair grabs Roma by the foot and drags his leg across the bottom rope. Flair leaps and hits a seated senton on the leg. Roma grabs his leg in pain, calling out. Flair pulls Roma up and goes for the shinbreaker but Roma manages to flip free of Flair. Roma lands on his right leg, instead of his injured left leg. Roma throws a few punches and then sends Flair to the ropes. Roma hits the standing dropkick, which is just about perfection from Roma. Roma grabs his left leg in pain. The match moves forward with Roma in control. He works to wear down Flair before locking in a reverse chinlock. The referee checks Flair's arm once, twice but a third time Flair's arm comes up. Flair pulls himself to his feet and takes down Roma with a belly-to-back suplex. Flair draws in some cheers from the crowd as he gets to his feet and goes to work on the left leg of Roma. Flair lifts Roma and hits the shinbreaker. He grabs the legs of Roma and locks in the Figure Four Leglock! Roma struggles in the hold but is eventually forced to submit. Ric Flair wins in 11:54.Ric Flair d.

Flair flips up and over the turnbuckles, landing on the apron. He runs across and climbs the turnbuckle but he gets shoved off by an arriving Brian Pillman!

Make sure you call your local cable providers and tell them that you want World War 3! Match #6 The Giant (w/The Taskmaster) vs. Sting It's main event time and what a main event we have for you this week as The Giant, along with The Taskmaster in his corner, takes on the man called Sting.

The Giant picks up Sting and drops him down with a headbutt. The Giant tosses Sting out of the ring and then gets the attention of the referee. The Taskmaster rushes in, hitting Sting with a running knee to the chin and then tosses Sting back in the ring. The Giant makes a cover: One, Two, Sting gets his foot on the bottom rope. The crowd cheers as Sting still seems to have some left in him. Moving forward to around the ten minute mark, The Giant maintains control but seems to be slowing down.

The crowd rises on their feet, cheering for the arrival of the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Ric Flair doesn't come out alone, though. He walks out with Rey Misterio, Jr. at his side. The two men step into the ring and Flair is given a microphone. He welcomes WCW Monday Nitro to Flair Country. He says he has to ask what's causing all this? The answer is the Nature Boy and the new Four Horsemen. Flair says that tonight is the beginning of a new era of Four Horsemen. He begins by saying that this man standing by his side is the first new member of the Horsemen. He congratulates Rey Misterio, Jr. on earning a spot with the Horsemen. Misterio gets on the microphone and thanks Flair for the opportunity. He says that he grew up watching professional wrestling in Mexico and now Mexico is Horsemen Country. Flair gives a strut and then talks about the fact that we need two more members to make the Horsemen complete. He says that these two men have competed and won titles in WCW. He says that they have won titles in Japan and now they come back to the United States. He tells the two new members to come on down. WOW! Out from the back comes the Miracle Violence Connection, Steve 'Dr. Death' Williams and Terry 'Bam Bam' Gordy! Williams and Gordy are dressed to the nine in suits as they walk down and step inside the ring. Both men raise up four fingers. Williams gets on the microphone and says that the two of them were built to be Horsemen. Gordy says that he has been in a lot of factions that have been at the top of their game. But he says that this is a stable he can be absolutely proud to be a part of. All four men raise four fingers and then Flair, Williams and Gordy exit the ring. Rey Misterio, Jr. stays in the ring because he is part of the opening match on Nitro. Match #1 Shane Douglas vs. Rey Misterio, Jr. It's Four Horsemen versus Four Horsemen as 'The Extreme Franchise' Shane Douglas comes down to the ring to take on Rey Misterio, Jr. Misterio uses his speed in the beginning to keep Douglas off guard. Douglas exits the ring to take a break but Misterio comes running with a baseball slide into a flying headscissors outside the ring. Misterio plays to the crowd before climbing back in the ring. Douglas slowly joins him before the ten count. Douglas gets in close with Misterio and hits him with a chop in the corner. Douglas works over Misterio with a couple of European uppercuts and then whips Misterio to the opposite corner. Douglas comes running in but Misterio leaps over him, coming down with a sunset flip on Douglas. Douglas rolls through and locks Misterio in a Texas cloverleaf. Misterio struggles in the hold but quickly grabs the ropes to break it. Douglas continues the next several minutes in control. Douglas eventually lifts Misterio onto the top turnbuckle, climbing up and hooking him for a superplex. Misterio blocks the hold once, twice. He gets in a few punches to break the hold and a headbutt sends Douglas to the mat. At this point, Arn Anderson comes down to ringside. Misterio waits for Douglas to get up and catches him with a flying huricanrana. Misterio goes to the apron and sets up for a springboard huricanrana but Arn Anderson shoves him to the mat as he gets on the top rope. The referee sees it and calls for the bell. Rey Misterio, Jr. wins by disqualification at 9:58!Rey Misterio Jr. d. Shane Douglas =79 Horsemen BrawlArn Anderson enters the ring and helps Shane Douglas to his feet. The two men begin putting the boots to Rey Misterio, Jr. Here come Ric Flair and The Miracle Violence Connection! The rest of that Four Horsemen hit the ring and begin attacking Arn Anderson and Shane Douglas. Here come Brian Pillman and Tully Blanchard! It's a pier 8 brawl! All eight men begin doing battle in the ring, including Anderson and Misterio and Douglas and Steve Williams. Ric Flair's side starts getting the advantage. Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Brian Pillman and Shane Douglas are all sent packing to the ringside area. Ric Flair, Rey Misterio, Jr. and the Miracle Violence Connection all stand in the ring. Four fingers are put up all around. This is a feud that is definitely not over. Steve Austin Is Back A video begins to play from last week's WCW Saturday Night. It is the return of Steve Austin. Austin states that he is no longer stunning and then he issues a challenge to Diamond Dallas Page for the WCW World Television title belt. Highlights from Steve Austin's career are shown in this video, including shots of him hitting the Stun Gun over and over again. Austin is shown holding the WCW World Television title, the WCW United States title and the WCW World Tag Team titles. He is back and looking to make a statement and that's the bottom line. Match #2 Big Bubba Rogers (w/Col. Robert Parker) vs. Ricky Morton Our second match of the evening features the bodyguard of the Stud Stable Big Bubba Rogers taking on one half of the Rock 'N' Roll Express Ricky Morton. The match is dominated by Rogers, who takes down Morton with a big backbreaker. He locks Morton in the abdominal stretch but Morton refuses to submit. Morton slowly tries to make his way to the ropes. He gets the crowd behind him and manages to flip Rogers over with a hip toss. Morton struggles to hold the advantage and it is quickly replaced by Rogers. Rogers Irish whips Morton into a corner and catches him with an avalanche in the corner. The crowd boos and Col. Robert Parker calls for the finish. Rogers sends Morton to the ropes and drops him with the Bubba Slam! Rogers makes the cover with one hand: One, Two, Three! Big Bubba Rogers wins in 5:55!Big Bubba Rogers p. Ricky Morton =67 Stud Stable We go to the top of the ramp where Gene Okerlund hypes the WCW hotline. He says he has heard whispers of a new signing for WCW. He says he will let everyone know exactly what he has heard. He gets joined by Col. Robert Parker, Big Bubba Rogers and then the WCW United States Champion Vader. Okerlund asks the Col. about Lex Luger accepting the open challenge for World War 3. Parker calls Luger a fool and reminds him of what happened at Halloween Havoc. Vader speaks up, saying that the time has come for them to add in a stipulation to this match. He challenges Luger to accept a Last Man Standing match for the WCW United States title. Parker laughs and says that Luger isn't man enough to accept the challenge. Parker walks off with the Stud Stable as we go to the ring. Match #3 Tully Blanchard vs. Ric Flair Our first hour main event is another classic match between the two Four Horsemen groups. These two wrestlers have pretty good chemistry and it shows in the match. Tully Blanchard slows things down in the beginning, using the rope breaks to keep Ric Flair from getting a hold on him. Finally, Flair gets frustrated and goes right in on Blanchard and Blanchard trips him to the mat. Blanchard drops an elbow and begins in control of the match. Blanchard drags Flair's face against the mat and then picks him up, sending him in a corner. Blanchard moves in but Flair turns things around and begins lacing up Blanchard's chest with knife edge chops. Flair goes to whip Blanchard across but Blanchard reverses it. Flair flips up and over the turnbuckle to land on the apron. He goes to run along the apron but is dropped with a clothesline by Blanchard. Blanchard drags Flair in the ring and begins dropping multiple elbow drops on the back of Flair. Blanchard focuses in on the back of the Nature Boy with the announcers reminding us that Flair had his back injured in an airplane crash. Blanchard brings Flair over with a vertical suplex and then continues in control as we near the ten minute mark. Tully Blanchard is still in control of Ric Flair, locking him in an abdominal stretch. Flair shakes his head, refusing to submit. He calls out 'NoooOOOooo!' The crowd gets behind Flair as he tries to work his way to the ropes. He gets near the ropes and then tosses Blanchard over with a hip toss. Both men go down to the mat. The two men slowly raise up and Blanchard Irish whips Flair into a corner. Flair bounces out of the corner and raises his fists before falling face-first on the mat. Blanchard says it's over and gets Flair into the vertical suplex position. He lifts Flair up and then Flair manages to reverse things into a small package: One, Two, Kickout! Both men get up and Flair ducks a wild punch by Blanchard. Flair lifts Blanchard and hits the shinbreaker. Flair bounces off the ropes and gives a strut before raising four fingers in the air. He turns back to Blanchard and picks him up, locking a hammerlock and dropping straight back to the mat. Flair goes for the Figure Four Leglock but Blanchard reverses it into a small package: One, Two, Flair reverses the small package: One, Two, Three! Ric Flair wins at 18:59!Ric Flair p. Tully Blanchard =79 V.K. Wallstreet A video begins to play showing highlights of the Computerized Man of the 90's V.K. Wallstreet. Wallstreet is shown beating several wrestlers in jobber matches with the flying clothesline. He is shown doing multiple suplexes, including belly-to-back, double underhook and German suplexes. Wallstreet is shown joining the Family and now stands alongside Jimmy Hart. Wallstreet is coming back to Monday Nitro soon. Technically Wonderful Back at the ringside area, here come the members of Technically Wonderful. Paul Orndorff leads out Eddy Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko. Paul Orndorff opens things up talking about the need to add more gold to Technically Wonderful. He officially acknowledges Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko for adding the WCW World Tag Team titles to this group. Now, he says it is time for Eddy Guerrero to add the X-Division title. Guerrero says that he has no doubt that he can walk away with that title whenever they decide to determine a first champion. Then, he turns his attention to Benoit and Malenko and says that they have been awesome as the WCW World Tag Team Champions. He says they don't have opponents for World War 3 so he wonders if any tag teams are going to step up to face them. That is when we see the WCW return of The Sheepherders! Butch Miller and Luke Williams stand at the top of the ramp with microphones in hand. Miller says that he and Luke are the most dangerous tag team, not just in WCW, but in the entire world. Williams challenges Benoit and Malenko to meet them in the ring for the WCW World Tag Team titles at World War 3. Eddy Guerrero speaks up, accepting the challenge on behalf of Benoit and Malenko. He says that they are the most dangerous wrestlers. Miller and Williams flash smiles and do a little yell before dropping the microphones and walking to the back. Within moments, Technically Wonderful leave the ring as well. Match #4 Sabu (w/The Sheik) vs. Al Snow Our first match of the second hour is an interesting one as we have two young wrestlers going at it to try to build themselves up. The match is back and forth with neither man having an extended advantage. Sabu shows his high flying skill with hitting Snow with a guillotine legdrop on the apron of the ring. Snow fires back with a spinning heel kick and the Dragon Sleeper. Sabu manages to, somehow, break the hold. Sabu gets the advantage, sending Snow to a corner. The Sheik tosses Sabu a chair and Sabu sets up the chair near the corner. Sabu bounces off one side and comes running in, using the chair as a springboard for a heel kick into the corner. The referee tosses the chair out of the ring and Sabu takes down Snow with a body slam. Sabu climbs to the top turnbuckle and goes for the somersault legdrop but Snow moves out of the way. Snow rolls Sabu into a small package: One, Two, Three! The big win for Al Snow at 7:52!Al Snow p. Sabu =60 Warrior Leaving The Hospital From the ring, we move to a video outside a local medical facility. We see Ultimate Warrior coming out from the building and the cameraman asks him if he's okay. Warrior says he almost died because of that snake bite but he is back and now he is one hundred percent. Warrior says that he is going to get the unknown man who caused him to get bit by the snake. He growls and says that he is going to crush the head of the snake under his boot. Warrior says that the gods have decreed the death of this man, of this snake and it will be at his hands. Warrior growls before he gets into a car and we go to the ramp. DDP Accepting A Challenge? At the ramp, Gene Okerlund is standing by with Diamond Dallas Page, Diamond Doll and Maxx Muscle. Okerlund asks DDP about the challenge issued by Steve Austin last Saturday night. DDP talks about Austin leaving the company and now he comes back and wants an automatic title shot? He probably thinks that DDP is going to be a coward and deny the shot. But that's not what's going to happen. DDP accepts the challenge from Steve Austin for next week on Monday Nitro. He says that Austin is going to come back just to feel the bang! DDP does the diamond sign and then brings it down hard. Okerlund thanks DDP for the interview and sends us to the ring. Match #5 The Iron Sheik vs. Jushin Thunder Liger As you might understand, these two clash of styles don't seem to click in the ring and it shows in their performances. The Iron Sheik looks a little lost in facing someone like Jushin Thunder Liger. Liger shows off some of his skills in this match when he hits Sheik with a Lou Thesz Press. He gets a two count when he hits Sheik with the high angle Liger bomb. Liger goes up top and goes for a frog splash but Iron Sheik avoids it, sending Liger crashing into the mat. The Iron Sheik gets to his feet and hits a gutwrench suplex on Liger. He keeps Liger down on the mat where he finally locks on the Camel Clutch. Liger struggles in the hold but he is forced to submit. The Iron Sheik wins in 6:01!The Iron Sheik d. Jushin Thunder Liger =56 Arm Wrestling We go to the backstage area where we see Hulk Hogan come across The Giant. The two men step up face-to-chest and neither man is about to back down. They talk about their match coming up at World War 3 and Hogan talks about having the large pythons. The Giant says to prove it and opens a door where there are wrestlers having arm wrestling contests. The Giant and Hulk Hogan step into the room and step up to a table. They get set and both men try to pull the other's arms down. The arm wrestling competition goes back and forth. Suddenly, it seems that Hogan slips in something and this leads to The Giant getting his arm down and winning the arm wrestling competition. The Giant roars at Hogan and an angry Hogan says he will get his revenge at World War 3, brother! Match #6 Roddy Piper vs. Randy Savage It's time for the main event! A lot of wrestling experience in this ring as 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper takes on 'The Macho Man' Randy Savage. Both men meet and jaw in the center of the ring before Piper slaps Savage. Savage responds by shoving Piper to the mat. Piper pops back up and the two meet again but this time exchanging punches. Savage ducks a punch and catches Piper with a clothesline down to the mat. Savage picks up Piper and sends him out of the ring before heading to the top turnbuckle. Piper looks up and backs up out of reach of Savage. Savage drops back down in the ring, waiting for Piper to get in. The two meet in the center of the ring again and Piper pokes Savage in the eye. The Hot Rod elevates Savage with a belly to back suplex, scoring a two count. Savage holds his back in pain. Piper continues to maintain control for the next several minutes, drawing in some boos from this crowd but a few cheers as well. Piper drops Savage with a vertical suplex and then when we near the ten minute mark he goes for the Sleeper. Savage kicks his feet to the turnbuckle and falls backward in a pinning predicament on Piper: One, Two, Kickout! As the ten minute mark rolls forward, Randy Savage starts to get some control of the match. Highlights of this include Savage hitting Roddy Piper with a top rope double axehandle. The crowd cheers Savage as he hits Piper with an atomic drop and then goes for a piledriver but Piper blocks it. Piper hits Savage between the legs but the referee doesn't see it as he was on the other side. Savage falls to the mat in obvious pain. Piper maintains control as we move forward several minutes. Piper catches Savage with a running high knee strike and then goes for the Sleeper again. This time, it's in the middle of the ring. Savage struggles in the hold but he cannot get out. He begins to fade and the referee checks his arm once, twice, three times! The referee calls for the bell. Roddy Piper wins in 18:48!Roddy Piper d. Randy Savage =76 World War 3 PreviewRoddy Piper stands up as he releases the hold, getting his arm raised. Piper gets on the microphone and says that he won tonight just like he's going to win at World War 3. Lex Luger comes down to the ring and steps inside. Luger begins a brawl with Piper before gaining the advantage. Luger shoves Piper to the ropes and then hits a clothesline, sending Piper up and over the top rope to the floor. The announcers talk about that if this was at the World War 3 battle royal, Piper would be eliminated. Luger turns and points toward the Starrcade sign. The announcers talk about this being Starrcade season. With Luger's back turned, he is attacked by Vader from behind. Vader hits a Power Bomb on Luger and then lifts him up, throwing him over the top rope to land beside Piper. Vader starts to celebrate, leaning over the top rope and yelling at Luger and Piper. With Vader leaning over the top rope, Randy Savage manages to make it to his feet. Savage rushes over and throws Vader over the top rope to the floor with Piper and Luger! Savage celebrates in the ring, pointing at the Starrcade sign and making the 'belt' motion at his waist. Savage climbs to the second turnbuckle, celebrating with the fans as the show comes to an end. We'll see you this Saturday for WCW Saturday Night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
