Announcers: Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan

Live from: Los Angeles, California

Monday Nitro opens up with it's regular opening and then we're taken to the area where pyro shoots off.... We're then taken to the announce booth where Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan are standing by. Schiavone and Heenan hype up tonight's show talking about Superbrawl VII last night and how Hollywood Hogan retained the World Championship against Rowdy Roddy Piper. They then talk about tonight's main event where Lex Luger and The Giant defend the WCW Tag Team Championship against Kevin Nash and Syxx of the nWo Wolfpac!

Starting off the night with the nWo

The theme of the New World Order hits the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd as Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff make their way out first stopping on top of the entry way both men wearing nWo T-Shirts, Hollywood Hogan uses his WCW World Championship like a guitar playing it as Bischoff smiles and claps. Scott Hall is the next one to make his way down the entry way wearing a Wolfpac T-Shirt, Hall doesn't look too pleased but he does his "I'm scared" finger taunt at the camera before flicking his toothpick at it. Hall then points to the back like he forget something and Kevin Nash and Syxx also wearing Wolfpac shirts make their way down the isle way, Neither Nash or Syxx look too happy here tonight. The rest of the nWo Big Bubba Rogers, Buff Bagwell, Masahiro Chono, Michael Wallstreet, Scott Norton, Vincent, Ted DiBiase and the newest nWo member The Disciple make their way down the entry way following the five men, They all get in the ring and Eric Bischoff is handed a microphone.

Eric Bischoff- Thank you for the rousing ovation! Now last night it was Superbrawl VII and we all saw what happened, The icon the one and only TRUE ICON in this business Hollywood Hogan defeated Rowdy Roddy Piper to retain the WCW World Championship! Hollywood Hogan dominated Rowdy Roddy Piper all over that ring last night! But last night the nWo was also robbed, The Outsiders the greatest tag team in the history of wrestling got screwed out of the WCW Tag Team Championship by a man who has no heart, No soul, No will win to win, No I'm not talking about Vince McMahon I'm talking about Sting! Sting you turned us down and that's fine, But you don't screw the nWo out of our titles! Sting later tonight I got a huge announcement to make regarding you pal! Just you wait! But now lets give the icon of this business the man who's still the WCW World Champion Hollywood Hogan a chance to talk!

Bischoff hands the microphone over to Hollywood Hogan as the fans boo, Hollywood Hogan puts the WCW World Championship on his shoulder as the crowd chants "Hogan sucks" and "Piper".

Hollywood Hogan- Last night I being the man that I am beat Rowdy Roddy Piper all by myself! I beat Piper from pillar to post and then finished him off with the Hollywood Legdrop to retain the WCW World Championship brother! And then after the match ended I brought an old friend of mine The Disciple to spray paint Piper and Sting had to get involved! Sting if you didn't bring a baseball bat to the ring with you then you know Hollywood and Disciple would have stayed in that ring and kicked your butt! Sting you turned down the nWo and now you will pay brother! But Hollywood Hogan isn't gonna be the one dishing out the pain! Sting let me assure you that you will not go anywhere near Hollywood Hogan anytime soon! You should leave World Championship Wrestling go over to Raw Is Snore because over here on Monday Nitro you will get nowhere near the icon of this business! Hollywood Hogan is the WCW World Champion and Sting, Piper you two will have to live with it! Hollywood has beaten Roddy Piper, The Giant and lets not forget I ran Randy Savage out of WCW! Everyone who's challenged Hollywood has fallen down to the twenty four inch pythons and felt my wrath! But as much as Hollywood likes talking about beating Piper last night, There are two men who lost their gold last night thanks you Sting.... And they are The Outsiders Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

The crowd boos Hollywood Hogan as he hands the microphone over to Scott Hall, Scott Hall doesn't look very happy as the fans boo. Hall prepares to speak.

Scott Hall- Hey yo....

The fans respond back with a "Hey yo" at Scott Hall.

Scott Hall- Usually I'd give the survey to the crowd but lets for about it for tonight, Last night that clown Sting cost The Outsiders our tag team titles, And in the process Sting injured my neck with the Scorpion Deathdrop. So I am unable to wrestle here tonight, But don't worry because filling in for "The Bad Guy" is Syxx. And tonight I promise that Syxx and Kevin Nash will walk out as the new WCW Tag Team Champions. And Sting if I could get my hands on you I'd make you pay for last night! Luger and Giant you two boys will have the shortest reign of any tag team champions in WCW history you can bet on that boys! The Wolfpac is taking back our titles tonight one way or another! And as far as tonight goes, I'm gonna be in the back watching "Big Sexy" and Syxx take care of business Wolfpac style, Because when you're not running with the Wolfpac you get hunt by it!

Scott Hall hands the microphone over to Kevin Nash who's also not a happy camper here tonight.

Kevin Nash- First of all you people need to shut up and let "Big Sexy" talk, Now last night me and Scott were taking care of business, We had that big goof Giant down and Hall had Flexy Lexy down for the count if The Crow... I mean Sting hadn't come down and given Scott the Scorpion Deathdrop costing us the titles and injuring Hall's neck in the process! Stinger anytime you want a piece of The Outsiders just come down to the ring and face us like a man! No baseball bats no nothing, Just you against us. And Sting I can promise you that you'll get a Wolfpac beating! As far as tonight goes me and Syxx are walking out as the new champions! Luger and Giant hang on to those belts because later on they're going right back to the Wolfpac!

Kevin Nash gives the microphone to Syxx as the fans chant "Syxx sucks" and "1-2-3".

Syxx- Shut your mouths! Each and everyone of you people shut your god damn mouths before I go out there and kick all your asses! I'm a black belt and I'll do it! Last night I had that scum bag Diamond Dallas Page beat but he had to cheat to beat me! Page you didn't beat me and everyone knows it! Last night I taught you a little something about wrestling! I showed everyone that I can out wrestle everyone in this company! Page anytime you wanna fight me bring it on! I'll slap the Buzzkiller on your Wolfpac style! But tonight me and the big man are concerned about gold, Luger and Giant you two won't know what hit you when you get in the ring with us! Tonight we're gonna have new tag team champions! Scott I know you wanted to be out there but don't worry.... Syxx will make you proud pal!

Syxx hands the microphone back over to Eric Bischoff.

Eric Bischoff- Giant, Luger I would not want to be you two tonight! Syxx and Nash are gonna whoop your butts all over this arena! And Sting later on I got news for you!

The nWo music hits as the nWo heads to the back as Monday Nitro goes to a commercial break.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Four Horsemen unite

Monday Nitro returns from the commercial break with the music of Jeff Jarrett hitting the arena to boos from the fans, Jeff Jarrett walks down to the ring with a concerned look on his face as the crowd chants "Jarrett sucks".

Jeff Jarrett- This goes out to Steve McMichael, Steve last night you gotta understand something... I was trying to help you win the United States Championship not cost you the match. And well it backfired and you lost. But Mongo there's no reason why we can't get along. Jeff Jarrett is going to be the next Horsemen and Steve you're going to have to learn to get along with me. Because Jeff Jarrett is the future of the Four Horsemen, I will be a Horsemen and when I.....

Jeff Jarrett is interrupted by the music of the Four Horsemen to cheers from the crowd, Arn Anderson, Steve McMichael, Chris Benoit and Debra McMichael make their way down to the ring staring down Jeff Jarrett. The Four Horsemen get in the ring as Jeff Jarrett looks a bit scared.

Jeff Jarrett- Good now just like I was saying you.....

Arn Anderson- Shut up boy! Jarrett you come out here week after week telling everyone that you belong in the Four Horsemen, You tell everyone you belong to be apart of wrestlings most elite group! But Jarrett you haven't done a damn thing to be in the Four Horsemen! You my friend last night cost us some gold, Steve McMichael was ready to beat Eddie Guerrero and walk out as the new United States Champion if you hadn't stuck your nose where it didn't belong. Jeff Jarrett you aren't Horsemen material and you have nothing that would help us out, So your question is whether or not we want you in the group? The answer is no! Now I suggest you run along the ring before we give you a Four Horsemen beating!

The fans cheer as The Four Horsemen stares down Jarrett, Debra McMichael tries to reason with Benoit, McMichael and Anderson but they say no.

Jeff Jarrett- I don't know why I'm asking you Arn Anderson, You're not the leader Ric Flair is the leader! You might wanna try to act like the leader but we all know that you Arn Anderson have been playing follow the leader all your career. First to Ole then to Tully and now to Ric Flair. I didn't ask the horse's rear if I could be a Horsemen I asked the leader! And Arn Anderson you are not the leader pal! Not by a long shot!

Arn Anderson- Jarrett I might have a back neck but boy I can whip your ass right now! And if not me well there's two men in this ring that can, Chris Benoit and Steve McMichael! So what's going to stop us from whipping your ass right now?

Jarrett looks concerned as McMichael and Benoit look ready to strike.... But then the theme of "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair hits the arena to a huge ovation from the fans as everyone in the ring get up off of their seats in anticipation, Jarrett and the Four Horsemen look in shock up on the entry way as Ric Flair makes his way down the isle, Flair stops and struts on the entry way and lets out a big "Woooo" as the fans cheer. Flair then walks down the isle letting out another "Woooo" as the fans cheer. Flair gets inside the ring and struts bouncing off the ropes, Flair then takes Arn Anderson's microphone. The fans start chanting "Flair" over and over again.

Ric Flair- Woooo! Now I know that "The Nature Boy" is suppose to be at home nursing his injured shoulder, But I just can't sit at home and watch the Horsemen crumble into pieces.... Arn you have been doing a good job leading the Four Horsemen but Arn kicking Jarrett's ass ain't the way to get through to him. Jarrett first of all, I know you're an amazing athlete and you're an amazing wrestler but pal you don't come out here and tell the Four Horsemen that you're the next Horsemen like Ric Flair has already accepted you into the group pal! Wooooo! And Jarrett you don't insult "The Enforcer" again! WCW is changing, The nWo are taking over but one thing that hasn't changed after all these years is the Four Horsemen baby! Woooo! The Horsemen continue to be the most elite group in all of wrestling! And Jeff Jarrett tonight Ric Flair is officially asking you to join us! What do you say?

Jeff Jarrett- Yes I accept! Woooo! I'll do you proud Ric.... I'll do you proud! I will help restore the winning image back into the Four Horsemen!

Flair's news shocks the rest of the Horsemen, Anderson tries to talk Flair out of it but Flair just pulls away.

Ric Flair- Now hang on Arn, Hang on. Jeff Jarrett you might be a Horsemen but if you screw up once and cost us gold like you did last night, Then you will have no choice but to get a beating Horsemen style wooo! Jarrett we welcome you into the Four Horsemen, Not just me but all of us! Now that we got that out of the way, Arn I'm not one hundred percent yet and the fact of the matter is I'm in no condition to return to WCW right now. I need you to lead the Four Horsemen even Jeff Jarrett to glory! Arn you and I have been best friends for years, Many years and I know I can trust you to lead these men to greatness! It starts tonight, Chris Benoit I wish you all the luck in the world and I know you'll walk out of here as the new Television Champion! Mongo.... I know you're disappointed over your loss last night but you're an amazing wrestler and I promise you that you'll get another shot at the gold! Jarrett.... Tune down that ego of your's and respect the Horsemen and you'll fit in well, This is the new Four Horsemen era in WCW. Flair, Anderson, Benoit, Jarrett and The McMichael's..... Woooooo! And to the nWo you guys will get what's coming sooner or later at the hands of the Four Horsemen! Wooooooooo! And when the thirteen time WCW Champion makes his official return to the ring you can expect another title reign!

I'm the one who's gonna make your stay here in WCW a living hell, And I'm starting next week! Shamrock I'm laying down the challenge for next Monday night, You and I one on one! We'll see who's the most dangerous man in the world then! What do you say?

Scott Hall has a challenge in mind

The nWo music hits the arena once again as Monday Nitro returns from the commercial break, Scott Hall makes his way down to the ring not looking too happy at the fans. Scott Hall gets inside the ring and doesn't do his traditional pose instead Hall is handed a microphone from the ringside attendant.

Scott Hall- Now as you people should know I'm not in the best mood, Last night me and Kevin Nash were screwed out of the tag team titles thanks to Sting. Sting lemme make myself clear, Anytime you want some of "The Bad Guy" you don't need to come down from the rafters to get some, Just come down to the ring and be a man. But I'm not too interested in Sting right now.... I'm interested in a man I asked to join the nWo several times in the past and yet he refused. And last night he cheated to beat my friend Syxx. And that is Diamond Dallas Page. DDP you know we asked you time and time again to join the nWo and you turned us down, You then gave me, Nash and Syxx Diamond Cutters. Well I haven't forgotten about that. And I haven't forgotten how you embarrassed the nWo! Page you will have to pay the consequences for making the nWo look bad and you will pay soon! DDP you have to learn that if you're not running with us then you're getting hunt by us! Page I want you to get your trailer park ass down here to this ring so I can kick it all the way back to New Jersey! DDP you don't disrespect the nWo and you sure as hell don't give Scott Hall a Diamond Cutter! Diamond Dallas Page I ain't going anywhere until you come down to this ring and accept my challenge punk!

Scott Hall doesn't wait too long as "Self High Five" hits the arena to a huge ovation from the fans, Diamond Dallas Page makes his way down to the ring wearing a Diamond Cutter T-shirt as Scott Hall looks on, Page gets into the ring and stares down Scott Hall.

Scott Hall- You know Page when we asked you to join us you responded by giving us Diamond Cutters, Well I ain't here to ask you to join us.... But I'm laying down a challenge and.....

DDP snatches the microphone away from Scott Hall as the fans cheer.

Diamond Dallas Page- Hey yo.....

The fans cheer DDP mocking Scott Hall.... Hall looks angry as the crowd chants "DDP".

Diamond Dallas Page- Hall you want to lay down a challenge? For tonight?

Hall says no saying that his neck is hurt.

Diamond Dallas Page- Well Scott I'm sorry to say but DDP and the fans don't give a damn if your neck is hurt or not! DDP drops his microphone down and nails Scott Hall with a right hand! DDP grabs Hall by the head and rams it on the turnbuckle ten times as the fans count along! Page then grabs Scott Hall into position for the Diamond Cutter but Scott Hall rolls out to the floor. Scott Hall taunts Page and heads to the back as the fans boo. Page stands in the ring and tells Hall any time Hall wants a piece of DDP all he has to do is get in the ring!

All the men that have been signed for the Cruiserweight division are under thirty years of age while Scott Vick is only thirty one. These young men should debut later this year or early next year.

WCW has been thinking of holding the "lethal lottery" tag team tournament for the "lord of the ring" ring. once again this years at Slamboree, There has been talk of ending the lethal lottery but many in the back like the idea of the lethal lottery. WCW is trying to bring back some of it's tradition and the lethal lottery is one of them, Another idea that's been talked about is "spin the wheel, Make the deal".

Jimmy Hart has announced that he won't be managing wrestlers anymore, He's decided to become a non wrestler. Hart will be working in the back helping out the writers instead of being on television. The Dungeon Of Doom will most likely take on a new manager. We wish Jimmy Hart the best of luck after managing wrestlers for a such a long time. Speaking of the Dungeon Of Doom they're expected to get some new members. One of them will most likely be former DOD member John Tenta, There have also been rumors of Kamala being signed again by World Championship Wrestling.

The contract of Jerry "The King" Lawler is running out with the World Wrestling Federation but World Championship Wrestling has shown no interest in signing Lawler.

Management has been very happy with the work from "Lion Heart" Chris Jericho. Many feel that Jericho has what it takes to become a true break out star in the future. Jericho is very well liked backstage and

WCW's television with TBS for "Main Event" is coming to an end, WCW won't be renewing the contract but instead WCW will try to get a TV deal for eighter Wednesday or Thursday for a prime time show.

Bobby Eaton, The Renegade, Buddy Lee Parker, Squire David Taylor, Scotty Riggs and Woman have all been sent down to "The Pit" to brush up on their skills.

The current Uncensored card looks like this. The event will be live from North Charleston, South Carolina and the event will be held on Sunday, March 23rd live from the North Charleston Coliseum.

I was actually considering doing a WCW diary until I see like so many new ones. I think I'll wait till things cool down.

On topic, another great Nitro hewey. I am happy to hear Hall Vs Page is happening at Unsensored and DDP so has to win it and then go on to win the World Title :P Nahh maybe that's a bit too much of a huge push, but this match is looking good and my money is on Page to walk away with the win.

Nice to see Savage back as long as you use him in the right way then its fine. I will mark out for a Savage/Hogan match at the PPV as they used to put on great match's. The feud is looking good, but I cant see Hogan losing the strap to Savage, I think it'll be to Sting.

Cruiserweight action is looking good too. I want to see Juventud Guerrera in and pushed to the top, huge push :)

Oh and there is one more thing. FORCE David Flair into WCW and push him as much as possible as he is a legend. Okay not a legend, but I like him a lot even if he isn't a great wrestler. Bring him in and give him a small feud, he is great with Daffney too ;)

Great diary so far.

Yeah I started this feud to put Page over as a main eventer, He's over but not main event over and hopefully this feud will get him there. I chose Hall to feud with him since they both have high brawling stats which could help put on a great match. :D

Nice to see Savage back as long as you use him in the right way then its fine. I will mark out for a Savage/Hogan match at the PPV as they used to put on great match's. The feud is looking good, but I cant see Hogan losing the strap to Savage, I think it'll be to Sting.

I too liked their matches (All though their Halloween Havoc '96 match sucked) and I wanted to bring Savage back and what better way then to feud with Hogan?

Cruiserweight action is looking good too. I want to see Juventud Guerrera in and pushed to the top, huge push

Yeah I'm trying to get some of the cruiserweights more over and Juvy's one of them that I would want to give the Cruiserweight Championship to in the future.

Oh and there is one more thing. FORCE David Flair into WCW and push him as much as possible as he is a legend. Okay not a legend, but I like him a lot even if he isn't a great wrestler. Bring him in and give him a small feud, he is great with Daffney too

I don't think Daffney's in the scenario but when Flair is ready to be called up from development I'll see what I can do with him :thumbs-up:

[some good news in that update Hewey, lots of options for the future. Its good to see you planning ahead like before.

Gotta plan ahead to make it work :D

Saturday Night/Main Event should be up within an hour or so :D

Looking forward to the two shows.

Just had a quick thought: You should have Page show clips of when he worked with Hall as the Diamond Studd, to embarass him and the nWo. That would be funny as hell. :D

Damned! I didn't answer the tie-breakers and I noticed just now that SuperBrawl VII is out. I've been away for a while and now I can't read other shows. SuperBrawl was good. I got only 5 guesses correct. Pretty surprising show and stuff... Thank you for this diary, Hewey!

Live from: Miami, Florida

We understand that last night Eric Bischoff made the main event for Uncensored, It'll be nWo members Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash, Syxx and The Disciple taking on "Macho Man" Randy Savage! Bischoff said that if Savage wants a shot at Hollywood Hogan he must be victorious at Uncensored! But the decision was over turned when the WCW board of directors claimed a four on one handicap match would be unfair, The WCW board of directors have told Savage that if he can find three partners then at Uncensored it'll be a eight men tag team match! And that the surving WCW member would get a shot at the WCW World Championship at Spring Stampede next month! We'll hear from Savage tonight and who will he get as his three partners?

Eric Bischoff has also been ordered to bring back Sting! The board of directors have told Bischoff that he has to rehire Sting tonight! Will Sting show up? What will happen?

In the Main Event we'll see The Disciple take on Randy Savage, This is Savage's first match back since October! What kind of shape is Savage in? Will Hollywood Hogan be a factor tonight?

So you have hired The Disciple... I don't like the idea. He seems to be Hogan's bodyguard. Personally I hate The Disciple and I hope you aren't going to use him lot, but it seems you are using him a lot. Still can't wait for Nitro! And if Randy Savage can survive and make it to the World title match, I'll be happy. We may have the new champion if that happens...
