(WCW-SF) WCW Monday Nitro 4/3/00
DarkAndEvilBastard | Posted on 05/05/04 at 23:56:49 (A video package airs, replaying Thunder highlights, including Hacksaw and Symphony's "fan" getting into it; Three-Count laying Sabu out; the change in stips for the Outsiders-JJ/Hart match; Rey pinning Juvy; Bret Hart being given a World Title shot; Sting reaffirming his desire to retire as soon as WCW is clean; Sid making a six-man challenge for Nitro and Flair accepting; Norman Smile, Disco Inferno & The Mamalukes getting the better of The KISS Army; Jyushin Lyger winning the Cruiserweight Title; Buff & Booker brawling with Candido & Kidman; Goldberg destroying Jarrett; Sting beating Dustin Rhodes and saving Sid & Bam Bam from The Horsemen; Vampiro winning the TV Title; Kidman and Candido arguing after losing to Flair & Luger and Bret Hart being pinned by Sid after Jarrett breaks a guitar over his head.) We are LIVE inside the arena from Worcester, Mass., and a wolf's howl signals the arrival of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall! They take the ring and Nash gets the stick, gets ready to speak, but then pitches it to Hall. Hall does the "Hey Yo" schtick, but then launches into a verbal assault on Vampiro! he says that he put the TV Title in the trash, because that's where it belongs! But then he decides that a trash can and around Vampiro's waist is kind of the same. Nash takes the mic and starts making matches: Nash says that he'll meet Jarrett one-on-one! He announces that Sting & Hogan will be forced to team up against Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis! He signs Bret Hart vs Chris Candido! Then he says that at Spring Stampede, it'll only be a simple effort for The Outsiders to run either Hart or Jarrett out of WCW once and for all! Match #1 Team 2000 vs David Flair & Crowbar w/Daffney Super J started off with Crowbar, countering his offense with quick reactions and countermoves. David Flair came in to save Crowbar, but Chono entered as well. Chono began brutalizing Flair, getting help from Super J in the process. David hint an inverted atomic drop and got a small package, but Chono kicked out. Crowbar came in to help out, and the two of them put Chono on the defensive. Super J tagged in and went to work on David, but a low kick put David Flair in the driver's seat. David tagged out, but Crowbar quickly got viciously taken down by a Team 2000 2-on-1! Super J backdropped Crowbar and hit an inverted DDT, then blasted him with a Diving Clothesline as he got up! Team 2000 defeated Crowbar and David Flair when Super J pinned Crowbar with the Diving Clothesline in 0:06:16. Rating: * The Wall came down to ringside, and David Flair bailed out into the crowd! The Wall entered the ring as Crowbar got up, and The Wall chokeslammed him! As The Wall stood over Crowbar, we cut to (commercials) Match #2 Sean P. Nile vs "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan w/Symphony Nile quickly staggered Duggan with an inverted atomic drop, and followed suit with three big clotheslines! Duggan ducked a clothesline and hit one of his own, then scoop-slammed Nile and hit the Old Glory! Nile barely kicked out, but ol' Hacksaw hammered away at him until he attempted another bodyslam...to which Nile countered with an elbow to the head! A fisherman suplex followed and wrapped up the win for Nile! Sean P. Nile pinned Jim Duggan after a fisherman suplex in 0:03:31. Rating: -*** 1/2 Symphony look frightened and headed to the back, and Nile slid to the floor to follow! Match #3 The Wall vs Rey Misterio Jr. The Wall tried to bully Rey at the start, but got a boot in the face! Rey tried to slug it out, but wised up and used The Wall's momentum to hit a flying headscissors! After much fighting and dodging, Rey finally took the Wall down for a few moments by clipping his knee! Taking advantage of The Wall's prone position, he hit a springboard legdrop....then a springboard dropkick...and then another springboard legdrop! The Wall headbutted Rey and went for a Gorilla Press, but Rey rolled out of his hands and hit a bulldog on the way down! A flying cross body press only got one, and Rey stung him with a series of dropkicks! Rey dodged a corner charge and hit a springboard Thesz press, but ran into a clothesline! Rey managed to take Wall's leg back out and hit a ropeflip moonsault, and then drove him down with a sitdown faceslam! Rey got two and a half following a flying cross body press, and the same came from a flying dropkick! Rey used a springboard dropkick to set up a springboard legdrop, then dropkicked the knee out! The Wall reached up and raked Rey's face, and then grabbed his throat! A vicious Choke Slam followed and The Wall had won! The Wall pinned Rey Misterio Jr. with the Choke Slam in 0:11:27. Rating: * 1/2 (commercials) Match #4 Shane Helms, Evan Karagias & The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea w/Paisley vs Sabu Shane Helms had missed his flight, thus making this merely a handicap match, as opposed to a Hardcore Title Match. Sabu simply destroyed Evan after the opening bell, but Evan tagged in Shannon and they double-teamed...for a few moments. Sabu then beat on Shannon, until he ran right into a Shannon dropkick. Shannon took over with a pair of Frankensteiners, but got blasted with a spinning leg lariat. Shannon managed to hit a slingshot splash and he tagged in The Artist, who Sabu ripped apart and tossed to the floor! An Asai Moonsault nearly put TAFKAPI through a table and back in the ring Sabu prevented the Paisley Spike with a stiff right! Sabu went for a top-rope Frankensteiner but got a Super bomb instead, and then the Paisley Spike! Sabu managed to kick out, and then fought through a double team from The Artist and Evan to stay in control! The shocker came, though, when Shannon and Evan blasted Sabu with a wicked double chairshot, and The Artist hit a springboard twisting moonsault to score the three! Handicap-Match Three-Count (Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore) and Prince Iaukea defeated Sabu when Iaukea pinned Sabu after a springboard twisting moonsault in 0:09:43. Rating: * 1/2 (commercials) Scott Steiner made his way to the ring, and got on the mic! He launched into a tirade that had them bleeping as fast as he could, but then he calmed down enough to get his point across. He laid into Ric Flair, verbally, for getting him suspended for speaking the truth and he said that if Flair's "tired old wrinkled up ass" wanted to step into the ring with a real man anytime soon, then they could do it right here on Nitro, at Spring Stampede, whenever! Then he called Luger's physique "an f*beep*ing joke", and said that Luger would look like a stick-man next to Steiner. He turned to Rhodes, "another fat piece of sh-- just like his daddy", before talking about how he's forgotten more about wrestling than that p*ssy Goldberg will ever know! The Horsemen stormed the ring, but Steiner was waiting and he took them down one-by-one, even catching Goldberg with a spinning belly-to-belly! He gorilla pressed Flair, but Goldberg speared him! DDP and Bam Bam hit the ring to make the save, and Sid came in from behind! He waited for Goldberg to turn around a Chokeslammed him! DDP and Steiner exchanged a tense stare as we cut away. (commercials) Match #5 The KISS Army vs Norman Smiley & The Mamalukes Johnny the Bull and King of Beasts put on a big display of power early on, with Johnny starting to get the upper hand and Vito coming in to help double-team. A tag brought Vito in legal, but he was quickly caught with a reverse neckbreaker. The Demon and King of Beasts teamed up on Vito, but that got Smiley in...and that drew Celestial in! Order started to be restored and a Vito superkick staggered King of Beasts to allow for a Smiley flying bulldog, but KoB took it to the floor and battered Norman around. The Celestial tagged in and he and KoB wore Norman down, but Norman hit a pair of clotheslines and tagged Vito in! Vito and Celestial went to the floor, where Demon ambushed Vito! However, Johnny the Bull and KoB got involved, as did Norman! Starbearer ran down and joined in, but got attacked by Disco! All eight men began brawling wildly! The Mamalukes and Norman Smiley and KISS Army (King of Beasts, The Celestial and The Demon) battled to a double countout in 0:08:38. Rating: DUD (commercials) Match #6 Buff Bagwell vs Billy Kidman w/Torrie Wilson Fast-paced opening saw both men trying to hit a clothesline, and Kidman proved the winner of that exchange. All pretense of wrestling flew out the window as they slugged it out, with Kidman again getting the upperhand. Bagwell started fighting back, only to get hit with a vertical facebuster and a running lariat! Chris Candido headed to the ring, and Buff took control after countering a hiptoss with a hard lariat. Buff dropped a big elbow and celebrated, until Torrie tripped him! Kidman hit a spinebuster bomb and turned, just in time for Candido to toss him some brass knucks! He pasted Buff and hit the Shooting Star Press...but only got two and a half! Bagwell shoulderblocked Kidman to the mat and danced around to show that he was okay..but walked right into a spinebuster bomb to be pinned! Billy Kidman pinned Buff Bagwell after a spinebuster bomb in 0:07:16. Rating: ** 1/4 Booker came out as Candido entered the ring, the momentary distraction allowed Buff to slip down as Candido swung, causing Candido to nail Kidman! Booker leveled Candido...and walked into a Buff Blockbuster! Buff shoved Candido into Kidman and left the ring! We fade out on Candido and Kidman coming to blows! (commercials) The Horsemen arrive to take over the show for a while! Following the usual sequence, AA says that Scott Steiner has bitten off just a little bit more than he can chew by picking on THIS group of Horsemen! Flair says that this Wednesday on Thunder, Scott Steiner gets to find out what it means to walk the aisle against The Dirtiest Player in the Game! Flair says that, unlike Steiner, he doesn't have to use anything to look good and that, unlike Steiner, he doesn't have to pay for women! Flair then says that DDP and Bam Bam Bigelow can have a shot at greatness...against The Horsemen at Spring Stampede for the tag team titles! Luger tells Page to keep that "tramp Kim" at home, so that Liz doesn't humiliate her as bad as he is going to humiliate Dallas. He then tells Scott Steiner to take a close look, as there's a huge difference between a natural physical specimen and a manufactured waste of flesh. Dustin Rhodes says he would rather be a fat piece of sh*t than a 'roided up monster that slaps himself everytime he walks by a mirror, thinkin' he looked at himself funny. He tells Steiner to watch it, because these Horsemen have killer instinct...killer instinct that past Horsemen have only dreamed about. Dustin humbly asserts that it would be no real loss of Scott Steiner lived the rest of his life in a bodycast being spoon-fed jello by his mentally deficient brother. Goldberg tells Steiner that the only reason they never wrestled before was that WCW was afraid Goldberg would cripple Steiner, and they didn't want a lawsuit! Goldberg invited Steiner to meet him out back after Nitro and they could do it on their own time instead! Then he told Sid Vicious that he would pay for that choke-slam, and tonight was merely a step in the ultimate decimation of Sid that would occur at Spring Stampede! (commercials) Match #7 Chris Candido w/Tammy Lynn Sytch vs Bret Hart Candido started off with a basic offense, but Bret squelched that and sent him outside! Jeff Jarrett made his way to the ring, and Candido dropkicked Bret in the back and set up a Hotshot. Candido got tripped by Jarrett, which allowed Bret to recover first and prepare a superplex! Candido & Hart started trading shots, and Bret ran into a dropkick! Chris hit a clothesline and dropped an elbow, but Bret took him down with a dragon screw! Jeff Jarrett produced a cheese grater and threw it in, but it wound up in Candido's hands! He hit Bret....but only got two! Bret managed to recover enough to hit the Russian Legsweep and diving elbow, but Candido used some solid brawling to regain control. Jarrett rolled a baseball bat in and ring and Candido pounced on it...but Bret jerked it away and smacked him! The action continued and even went to the floor once, but returned to the ring. Bret blocked the Blond Bombshell and applied the Sharpshooter, but Candido got out. Jarrett rolled in the ring with a guitar as Bret went for the Russian Legsweep, and swung it at Candido's head! Candido ducked, though, and Jarrett shattered it over Bret's head! Mickey Jay had no choice but to call for the bell! Bret Hart defeated Chris Candido by disqualification in 0:14:05. Rating: *** Jarrett was apologizing to Bret as we head to commercials. (commercials) Match #8 Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis vs Hulk Hogan & Sting Juvy and Sting started off, with Sting taking a quick upperhand and sending him to the floor, where Hogan actually helped out. Juvy hit a DDT that Sting promptly no-sold, but a second trip to the floor introduced Sting to some steel. Sting blasted Juvy with a lariat and slapped Hogan on the shoulder to tag out, and Hogan actually got taken over by Juvy! Psicosis and Juvy used some quick tags, and soon Hogan was being hit from all sides! He didn't know which way to turn! Psicosis even hit a big powerbomb, so Hogan slid to the floor and slowed the match back down to take control. Hogan nailed Juvy and tagged out, and Juvy quickly tagged Psicosis, but Psicho got suplexed by Sting for coming in! Sting dominated after no-selling a bodyslam on the chair and hitting a pair of Stinger Splashes...but when he went to tag Hogan...Hulk Hogan nailed him with a baseball bat! Psicosis landed the Flying Legdrop to score the HUGE upset! Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis defeated Hulk Hogan and Sting when Psicosis pinned Sting with the Flying Legdrop in 0:06:51. Rating: DUD (commercials) Match #9: WCW Television Title Match Scott Hall vs Vampiro Hall attacked before the bell, but Vampiro countered with lefts and rights and a chop that dropped Hall to his knees! Vampiro's assault continued with a flying spinning leg lariat that left Hall on his knees and begging for mercy again, to which Vampiro responded by choking him! A series of kicks followed, and Hall couldn't even get a grip on Vamp, much less hit him. Vamp clothesline Hall through the ropes and powerbombed him back in, then used a jawbreaker to counter Hall's first big offensive move - a sleeper! A Hall bulldog gave him time to show off...but Vampiro recovered and series of kicks set up the Vampiro Spike! Hall kicked out, so Vamp responded by standing on his throat! then he hit a second Vampiro Spike and ended this utter domination!! Vampiro pinned Scott Hall with the Vampiro Spike in 0:07:12. Rating: * 3/4 (Vampiro retained the WCW Television Title.) (commercials) Match #10: WCW US Title Match "The American Nightmare" Dustin Rhodes vs Booker It didn't take Booker very long and he had already landed the 100th Street Slam and he attempted the Missile Dropkick, but Rhodes sidestepped it. Booker, however, remained on the offense! A flying forearm opened up a pair of hotshots, but a swinging neckbreaker squelched that. Booker landed a scissor kick and hit a flying forearm for a near fall. Booker ducked a flying clothesline and caught him with a powerslam, then hit the Missile Dropkick for a VERY near fall! They brawled in and out for a bit, until Buff came out! Booker quickly went to the floor after him and the two brawled to the back! Dustin Rhodes defeated Booker by countout in 0:09:23. Rating: * (Booker retained the WCW United States Title.) (commercials) Hogan came out and asked Sting how his head felt, and then told Sting that the bat shot was a taste of Hollywood being unleashed! He said that at Spring Stampede Hollywood would come alive once more and destroy The Stinger! Sting made his way out of the back with his head bandaged and told Hogan that Hollywood is the guy that ran from Sting for a year! Sting then said that there was no reason they had to wait until April 19th and Sting took off to the ring, slightly wobbly and obviously hurt! Hogan started hammering on Sting and sent him in, landing the big boot! He went for the legdrop, but Sting moved! He applied the Scorpion, but Curt Hennig ran in and attacked Sting from behind! Vampiro stormed the ring, though, and first dropped Hennig with a roundhouse...but blasted Hogan with a superkick as well! (commercials) Match #11 "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash vs "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett This match proved to be a lot of jawing and stalling, until Jarrett, after a meager offense, got powerbombed and pinned! Kevin Nash pinned Jeff Jarrett with the Jackknife Power Bomb in 0:05:01. Rating: * 1/4 Nash, who didn't even break a sweat, celebrated as if it were the toughest match of his career! (commercials) Match #12 Bill Goldberg, Dustin Rhodes & Ric Flair w/AA vs Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam Bigelow & Sid Vicious w/Kimberly Luger was conspicuously absent, although no one noticed as Sid and Goldberg laid into each other! Goldberg seemed quite dominant against Sid, until Bam Bam tagged in and they double-teamed Goldberg. Dustin Rhodes broke that up and he and Goldberg paid Bam Bam back for that. Rhodes hammered Bigelow brutally, but when Goldberg tried to get in, Sid attacked and set Rhodes up for a Bam Bam flying headbutt! Rhodes dodged a Bam Bam splash and hit a bulldog, and called Goldberg in. This time it was DDP who intervened, as he cleaned house on both heels! Scott Steiner started to the ring as Bam Bam sent Rhodes into the corner, but Dustin flew out with a bulldog again! Rhodes and Bam Bam got into a slobberknocker of a slugfest, which Rhodes won. Rhodes took complete control, hitting DDTs and keeping Bam Bam on the mat. Bam Bam reversed a corner whip and hit an avalanche, though, and tagged in Page. Dallas ran right into a Rhodes dropkick, however, and then got a pair of elbowsmashes! Goldberg and Rhodes teamed up on Page and kept him hurting, but Page recovered enough to keep giving Rhodes a real fight. Dustin tagged in Flair, who walked right into Page's lefts and rights! A tag was made to Sid, who hit two straight choke slams! Flair & Rhodes tried to double-team, but he overpowered both of them and then planted Ric with a big boot! Flair finally moved the Sid fight to the floor, but Steiner attacked from behind! Flair hit Sid with a low blow, but hesitated too long and got clotheslined down! A hurting Sid managed to tag in Page, but Flair used a thumb to the eye and a low blow to slow Dallas down! Page charged Flair and slammed shoulder first into the ringpost instead...and Flair started taunting Steiner! Steiner took a pot shot at Flair but Flair stepped back, and got spun completely around and DDP hit the Diamond Cutter!!! Faster than anyone could think, it was over!! Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam Bigelow and Sid Vicious defeated The Four Horsemen (Bill Goldberg, Dustin Rhodes and Ric Flair) when Page pinned Flair with the Diamond Cutter in 0:17:28. Rating: DUD Steiner attacked Flair and DDP, Triple B and Sid held AA, Goldberg and Rhodes off as we went off the air! |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 05/06/04 at 00:36:31 OPENING PROMO *** Evil Outsiders. I hope they get what's comin' to them! Match #1 Team 2000 vs David Flair & Crowbar w/Daffney *** I love David Flair & Crowbar, but the right team won here. And The Wall says suck it. Match #2 Sean P. Nile vs "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan w/Symphony *** Poor Duggan. Who is Sean P. Nile anyway? Match #3 The Wall vs Rey Misterio Jr. *** Good big man vs. small man match. Kinda sucks The Wall won, but Rey got his offense in, so it's all good. Match #4 Shane Helms, Evan Karagias & The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea w/Paisley vs Sabu *** And Sabu dies. Poor guy. 3 Count rules though. STEINER PROMO *** Man, Steiner doesn't get along with anyone, does he? A guy runs his mouth that much, he's bound to get his sooner or later. Match #5 The KISS Army vs Norman Smiley & The Mamalukes *** Ugh. Just ugh. The KISS Army getting anything closely resembling a push sickens me. Match #6 Buff Bagwell vs Billy Kidman w/Torrie Wilson *** YAY! Anytime Buff loses, I become a little happier. Plus, Kidman rules. Buff shouldn't have recovered his heat though. He should have announced his retirement. HORSEMAN PROMO *** Interesting Horsemen lineup. Good promo. Match #7 Chris Candido w/Tammy Lynn Sytch vs Bret Hart *** Good match, minus the DQ ending. Trouble in paradise? Uh oh. Match #8 Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis vs Hulk Hogan & Sting *** Wow... that is a huge upset. Hopefully it means a push for Juvy and Psicosis, but why did Hogan turn on Sting? Match #9: WCW Television Title Match Scott Hall vs Vampiro *** Wow... Hall got destroyed. Interesting. Match #10: WCW US Title Match "The American Nightmare" Dustin Rhodes vs Booker *** Countout? Ewww. HOGAN PROMO *** I like Hogan having a new intensity. Should be an interesting contest. Match #11 "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash vs "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett *** Wow... didn't expect Jarett to get squashed so thoroughly. Match #12 Bill Goldberg, Dustin Rhodes & Ric Flair w/AA vs Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam Bigelow & Sid Vicious w/Kimberly *** Decent match on a long long card. Not a bad show overall. It'll take me awhile to get used to the chaos of WCW though. -Nubbs |
DarkAndEvilBastard | Posted on 05/06/04 at 02:15:06 Must not have read the earlier shows....it's cool...=) Sean P. Nile is Val Venis. =( You don't like the KISS Army? On the Nitro after Uncensored, Sting and Hogan got into it, with Sting laying Hogan out with a ball bat. The two are feuding, with this match being forced on them by Commissioner Nash. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 05/06/04 at 02:55:54 I'll go back and read them eventually... just wanted a good recent spot to start from. -Nubbs |
