WCW Nitro results – November 8th 1999
We start of with a video package of what happened last week on Nitro, we then go to the Nitro opening sequence. It ends and we cut to the arena where fireworks go off and Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan welcome us to the show.
And we are LIVE from Indianapolis, IN.
Getting down to business…again
We open up for the third week in a row with Sting coming to the ring with an angry look on his face to a mixed crowd reaction. Sting gets into the ring and grabs a mic.
Sting: “I’m gonna get right down to business, right here, right now. Total Package, I give you 30 seconds to come out here and face me, before I go backstage and find you, and I’m not stopping for anything, you can run, but you can’t hide.”
Sting waits a while, then TTP’s music starts up and Liz makes her way out to the ring and gets on the mic.
Liz: “Sting, Total Package sends me out here to apologize for what he did. But there’s one thing you gotta understand, what he did last week, he did in friendship. He values your friendship very high and what he did last week he did to keep you save, we all know Bill Goldberg is a big and strong man and he could hurt you very easily, Total Package doesn’t want that, he…”
Sting: *Interrupting* “Liz stop right there, I’m not buying that, if Total Package wants to weasel his way out of this, let him come out here and do it himself.”
TTP’s music hits again as Not Lex Luger makes his way out onto the stage to boos, he has a mic too.
TTP: “Sting, you gotta understand, Liz was right. What I did last week, I did to protect you, you’re a good friend and I don’t want you to get hurt in the upcoming match at Mayhem. *Fans chant, bulls**t, bulls**t* don’t listen to these moronic fans Sting, I love you like a brother and I apologize if I hurt you last week.”
Liz makes her way up to the stage to join her man.
Sting: “Package, stop right there, you know that the fans you know it, you know it. Hell, just listen to them; they’re chanting it out load. *Fans chant Bulls**t, Bulls**t even louder* Package, you better have eyes in the back of your head, because if I can I’m not waiting until Mayhem, I’m coming for you, and when I do. It’s not going to be pretty.”
TTP has a scared look on his face as Sting stares him down and we cut to commercial.
>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When we come back Tony and brain talk about the US Title Tournament and the brackets now look like this:
United States Title Tournament
Eddie Guerrero vs Dean Malenko
WCW management has banned both The Filthy Animals and The Revolution from ringside to get a clean fight between the two. A very good lengthily match and a very good opener, after a hard fought match. Guerrero managed to get the better of Manlenko and pin him after a Frog Splash.
Winner: Eddie Guerrero
The Outsiders are scheming again
Backstage The Outsiders are watching Nitro in their locker room.
Hall: “Hey Yo, I can’t believe that I got scre*bleep*d out of this tournament and the vanilla midgets are still in it, it’s just not right.”
Nash: “I feel ya man, I don’t think its right either, and so I got an idea that serves you right. Follow me.”
Nash leaves the locker room and Hall follows him.
No. 1 Contendership match
Winner will get a shot at The Cruiserweight Championship at Mayhem
Evan Karagias w/Madusa vs Lash Leroux vs Berlyn w/The Wall
Leroux was the underdog in this match since he didn’t have anyone guarding his back at ringside, however the other two competitors got help from the outside a lot. A very good match, unfortunately we cut to commercial in the middle of it, but when we came back it was still going strong. A some point Madusa started arguing with the referee, The Wall entered the ring and laid both Karagias and Leroux out with a chokeslam, Wall left the ring and Berlyn capitalised on it and won.
Winner: Berlyn
The family has arrived
Backstage Tony is standing by with two thugs; I recognize them as two members of The Baldies in ECW.
Tony: “Ok, Johnny, Vito, you ready? Ok tonight that punk Disco is going to manage you in your first match here, and you’ll show him how it’s done.”
Vito and Johnny: “Right.”
Tony: “So forward he will manage you, and you will take him to do jobs for me until he pays his debt to me. But I still feel that it isn’t really punishment enough, I want to teach the kid, not to mess with an important man like me.”
Vito: “How about we put a horses head in his bed.”
Tony: “You watch too much TV. No, I got another thing in mind. You two just stay here, I’ll be right back.”
Hardcore Match
Dustin Rhodes vs Steve Armstrong
Rhodes destroyed Armstrong just like he did with the other Armstrong last week. Armstrong about got zero offence in and Rhodes finished him off with the Snap Sit Neckbreaker.
Winner: Dustin Rhodes.
>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<
He’s coming
When we come back we see a video package for a new character, we only see clips of him otherwise its fire and text. He has red face paint on and there is a voice over “Brother, nemesis, traveller, he is among the blackest souls, sins have dragged him to the bottom, he walks with blood red fury in his sole, he knows no pity, he knows no remorse.” The package ends with the character in the red paint showing his tongue like Gene Simmons.
Backstage Vampiro is watching the package on a monitor.
Vampiro: “He’s coming, he’s coming soon, and he’s coming very very soon.”
United States title Tournament
Booker T vs Vampiro
A very good match once again, the match went back and forth with both men dominating for a while for a while before then changing, a lot of high risk moves were hit too, unlike you’d think. The match finished when Booker hit the Bookend on Vampiro for the upset win according to Schiavone.
Winner: Booker T
I’m getting ready
Backstage Jeff Jarrett is making his way with The Harris Boys and a couple of riot cops, they bump into The Outsiders.
Hall: “Hey Yo, what the hell are you doing?”
Jarrett: “That huge troll Sid is out to get me, I’m just taking my precautions.”
Jarrett and the others quickly move along leaving The Outsiders.
Hall: “Sid…He seems not so cool, I want to make friends with him.”
Nash: “I don’t like him.”
Hall: “Why not?”
Nash: “He aint as good looking as me.”
They both laugh and continue on as we cut to commercial.
>>>>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Like I said…precautions
Jeff Jarrett makes his way out to the ring with the riot cops and the Harris Boys. They all get into the ring and Jarrett gets on the mic.
Jarrett: “I guess you people are wondering why I am here with all these people, well it’s actually quite simple, you see ever since I came out here and addressed Sid Vicious last week, the big goon has had it in for me. And Sid I know you’re big, you’re strong and you’re scary and even though you don’t scare me, I know that you went hesitate to blindside me with your fist or a chair when I’m not looking, and The Powers That Be don’t want their chosen one injured before a PPV, so Sid I’m just taking my precautions, but to be absolutely sure I have a restraining order saying that if you touch me before Mayhem, you will be suspended without pay, without further notice…”
Sid’s music suddenly starts up interrupting Jeff Jarrett, Sid comes walking out onto the stage with a mic
Sid: “Jeff Jarrett, you’re standing there, in that ring guarded by bodyguards, policemen and a restraining order on me and you still claim that you’re not scared of me. Well Jeff, you just wait until Mayhem, because it doesn’t matter that I can’t touch you before Myahem, because at Mayhem you will step into the ring with the master and ruler of the world and you will feel what pain really is. You’re scared of me blindsiding you, putting you out before Mayhem, that’s nothing, because after Mayhem you will be lying in a hospital bed for the rest of your days.”
Sid starts approaching the ring.
Jarrett: “Sid, you hold it right there. You can’t attack me, hold it right there.”
Harris Boys jump out of the ring and attack Sid, but Sid fights them off nailing them over the rail, taking them out. Sid steps into the ring and gets attack by various police officers, Sid grabs one of the policemen by the throat and chokeslams him, he kicks another policeman in the gut and nails him with a powerbomb. Finally the policemen and The Harris Boys get the upper hand and the policemen cuff Sid. Jarrett tells them to take him away and they do as we cut to commercial.
>>>>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<<
What are people up too?
We’re backstage where we cut in the middle of Tank Abbott having a conversation with the Italian guy Tony.
Tony: “…Ok, so you’re sure you can handle it? I’ll pay you good money.”
Abbott: “You just bring the punk and the money, then I’ll take care of it.”
Tony: “Great.”
Tony leaves as Abbott makes his way down the hall, someone tells him The Powers That Be wants to talk to him and they are behind that door over there on the left. Abbott goes to open it with a surprise look on his face, he says “You”, Abbott gets pulled in, we hear fighting noises, but before we can see anything else we cut to the ring.
United States Title Tournament
David Flair vs …Scott Hall!
Flair comes out, but when Abbott’s music plays there is no sign of Abbott. Then the wolf hovels hit and Scott Hall makes his way out in wrestling gear, Kevin Nash is the ring announces, he announces that Hall takes Abbott’s place and they then show footage of Abbott laid out through a table in the back. Hall made a quick job of Flair squashing him, the finish came when Hall hit the Outsiders Edge on Flair, Abbott came storming down, but the ref managed to count to three. The Outsiders fled ringside as Abbott entered the ring, Abbott who was pissed then took out the referee, before leaving again.
Winner: Scott Hall
>>>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<
When we come back we see The Outsiders celebrating the win. Another place backstage Disco gets Vito and Johnny, he says they’re up next.
The Mamalukes (Big Vito & Jonny The Bull) w/Disco Inferno vs Silver King & El Dandy
The Mamalukes are ok wrestlers, they dominated Silver King & El Dandy the whole way through the match, the two cruiserweights got little offence in, The Mamalukes used their size advantage to keep on top in most of the match. Disco was commentating the match. The match finished when Big Vito and Johnny The Bull hit a modified double Hip Toss which Disco referred to as the Brooklyn Bomb on El Dandy.
Winners: The Mamalukes
The commentators talk about the impressive debut of The Mamalukes here in WCW, as The Revolutions music starts up.
No hard feelings…or so you say
Saturn, Malenko and Douglas make their way out to the ring, Douglas gets on the mic
Douglas: “We stand before you here tonight as the biggest and most powerful group in the wrestling world today, and at Mayhem we will prove that when we take down The Filthy Animals, but not only we will we defeat The Animals, when we are done with Mayhem we will have a new, United States champion in Perry Saturn. Last week Perry beat me, no hard feelings because as I said last week, the better man won, and you are going to take the title home at Mayhem. And right you are taking on that trailer park trash Diamond Dallas Page, which you people out here can feel related to, so once again we prove to the world tonight, why we are the most dominant group in wrestling.”
United States Title Tournament
Perry Saturn w/The Revolution vs Diamond Dallas Page w/Kimberly
Saturn and DDP had a good match that went back and forth with DDP dominating, The Revolution constantly interfered and Kimberly kept complaining to the ref, towards the end the ref was knocked out, Shane Douglas went into the ring, he swung a chair and accidentally hit Saturn, DDP then knocked him out of the ring and covered Saturn for the three count.
Winner: Diamond Dallas Page
>>>>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Two generations meet up
When we come back Chris Benoit and Arn Anderson are making their way to the ring, Arn gets on the mic.
Anderson: “Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present to you; the future of wrestling, Chris Benoit. Up recently there has been a lot of things wrong with professional wrestling, Hogan, Sting and that pack of actors that were just out here that calls themselves the most dominant group in wrestling, however what is right with professional is Chris Benoit, and I’m going to take him to the top and clearly utilize his skills because…”
Arn inturupted by “Also Spratch Zarathursa” that hits the PA system and Ric Flair makes his way onto the stage to a huge eruption from the crowd. Flair struts his way to the ring, enters and grabs a mic.
Flair: “WHOOOOOOO *crowd responds* Arn Anderson, old man, its great to see you back in World Championship Wrestling, WHOOO. Well Arn I was sitting watching Dubya see Dubya and I noticed something, you called him *points to Benoit* the potential Ric Flair of this generation. Well Arn, I know you’d always had a great sense for people, and I don’t doubt you one single bit WHOOO, so if you say that, you’re right! WHOOO. So, I have a proposal to make, as it seems me and Benoit has common foes. At Mayhem, there is a 6 man elimination tag team match between, the Rotten Animals, WHOO and The Revolution. Well Benoit you have big problems with The Revolution, well so do I, you got problems with The Filthy Animals and BAH GAWD so do I WHOOO. So what I propose is that me and you, we take my son, and we enter that elimination match as a third team, and we show them all, what we can do together WHOOOO. What do ya say?”
Chris Benoit and Double A talk a little before Benoit gets on the mic
Benoit: “Ric it would be an honour, if the other cowards in the match accept.”
Revolutions music starts up again and out comes Shane Douglas.
Douglas: “Are you kidding me, of course we accept. I’d like to destroy The Animal, but there’s nothing I’d like more than to get my hands on Chris Benoit and you Ric, so The Revoultion accepts.”
The Filthy Animals gets on the screen, they make it short and Konnan says they accept too. We then go to commercial.
>>>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A new prize in WCW
JJ Dillon makes his way out to the ring and again to no crowd reaction, he has a suitcase in his hand and a serious look on his face.
Dillon: “Ladies and Gentlemen I stand before you here tonight in serious business, something I was asked to do by The Powers The Be. Since the Hardcore division has returned to WCW, WCW management agreed on that these athletes fighting for the hardcore style shouldn’t go unappreciated, so I have here in the suitcase, the new WCW Hardcore Title belt, at Mayhem there will be a 10 man over the top battle royal. Rules are that if you get thrown over the top rope you are eliminated, if you get pinned or submit you are eliminated, otherwise it’s no disqualification. The 10 men will be made official on WCW.com before tomorrow, so you can go there and check who has entered. Every competitor has been handpicked by WCW management. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, that is all.”
Dillon leaves the ring again as quick as he got out here as we cut to the back.
Interview with Curt Hennig
Gene Okerlund is backstage with Curt Hennig
Okerlund: “Curt Hennig, last week we saw Buff Bagwell challenge you to a match because he said is tired of you assaulting him, you have accepted, your comments?”
Hennig: “Gene, if Bagwell wants a fight, that’s what he’s gonna get. I only did hat The Powers The Be told me to, you know I can’t help it if The Powers That Be chose a perfect man like me to take care of punks like Buff Bagwell, who doesn’t have respect for the business or anything, but at Mayhem I’m going to get the job done and that’s what counts.”
Hardcore Match

We start tonight off with the Scheme Gene show, Gene calls out Sting. Sting makes his way to the ring to a mixed crowd reaction, but mostly cheers.
Gene: “Sting, last week when we were out here, we found out that at Mayhem, not only will you get your rematch for the World Title, but you will compete for it with three other men, namely: the champ Bill Goldberg, Bret “The Hitman” Hart and your best friend The Total Package.”
Sting: “You know Gene, me and Lex go a long way back. We’ve been best friends for as long as I can remember and we stood together in everything, but that World Heavyweight Championship belt is mine, the very reason I am in this business is to get that belt and nothing is going to stand in my way. Like I made clear last week, I don’t know what Lex is doing, but if he stands in my way, no questions asked he is going down. So Lex I hope you will be wise come Mayhem and not stand in my way, because I don’t want to ruin our friendship if I don’t have too, but you know as well I as know how important that World title belt is and I will do anything and everything to get it, but you know Lex isn’t the only one in the match, there’s also Goldberg *crowd pops* and Bret Hart *smaller crowd pop * and none of them are going to be that big a challenge, trust me on that…”
Before Sting can finish his sentence TTP’s music starts up and Not Lex Luger makes his way out with Elisabeth by his side to boos from the crowd. TTP steps into the ring and.
Gene: “The Total Package, do you have anything to say?”
TTP: “Well Gene, first of all sorry for the interruption. Second, Sting I know how important that world title is to you, but it’s also very important to me, however, there is one difference between you and me. See as you said our friendship go way back and I’ve always had you by my site, and that’s not something I want to risk by going into this match, so Sting if you want that title it’s all right by me, and we might as well face it. Together we can take down Goldberg & Bret Hart twice as hard.”
*Sting laughs and smiles at TTP*
Sting: “Lex, my buddy. I knew I could count on you all the way. We are going to show to the world that together we are stronger than any force in wrestling.”
*Sting and Luger shake hands*

When we come back The Revolution are making their way to the ring led by Shane Douglas while the crowd cheers. They step into the ring and Douglas gets on the mic.
Douglas: “At Mayhem, me, Dean and Perry are going into a match with three members of the Filthy Animals, but first tonight we’re competing in the United States title tournament. And… *fans boo loudly* SHUT UP! I don’t like you either, I can’t wait until I’m out of this stinking piece of trash that you people call a city, I know you hate me, I’m more successful and I’m way better looking than all you people out here. *Fans chant Asshole Asshole* Well ignoring you, let’s get down to business. I don’t know what WCW management are thinking, but we’ll tell you this WCW management, we don’t care how many times you book The Revolution against each other, we will always still be standing afterwards. So Perry, you and me are going to have the best damn match on the card, right now! And no matter who wins the better man will succeed.”
Douglas drops the mic as Malenko leaves the ring.

I’m going to get my revenge tonight
Gene Okerlund is backstage Buff Bagwell.
Gene: “Buff, over the last two weeks, you have freely expressed your hate against the new WCW management, now WCW management countered back by sending Curt Hennig after you. But Buff tonight you wowed to get your revenge.”
Bagwell: “Gene, I am so sick and tired of WCW management, I’m not answering to them and I never will be, so they decide to send Curt Hennig after me? Ha! That guy had his prime like ten years ago and back then he was still not as good as Buff Daddy. So Hennig, you better watch your back, and look around every corner, because I’m coming for you and I’m going to kick your butt. You know why? Because I’m Buff and I’m the Stuff and that’s just the way it is. So tonight, Curt Hennig, your going dooooown.”
Buff leaves the screen as we cut away
Where is he? 2

“Up North” won’t forget this
The wolf hovels hit as Kevin Nash comes, dressed as Vince MacMahon.
Kevin McNash steps into the ring and grabs a mic.
*Fans boo heavily*
Nash: “ *Trying to sound his best like Vince MacMahon* SHUT UP!! I’m the most powerfull man in Sports Entertainment today goddammit, everything I do, I do for the fans and you people should respect me, because without me there wouldn’t be any wrestling. I created wrestling, you people should follow me, you people should thank me.”
Crowd begins to chant “asshole, asshole” again
Nash: “Don’t call me that, I’m not that, you people are that. Unlike billionaire Ted, I didn’t buy my way to the top, I borrowed a little money here and there and, of course with little stock options, I became a millionaire. I singlehandedly put everyone else out of business until I was the only one in town, I am the biggest most powerfull man in wrestling today, no one is better than me and I beat everyone. But tonight I come to you here, to stand behind the next World Heavyweight champion, he is a young punk with a bright feature, we will push him until he is stuffed down your throats and then we will push him even more, he is to go one on one with the champ and here, he is the future of professional wrestling…Scott Hall!”
Scott Hall’s music starts up and Hall makes his way out to boo from the fans, Hall steps into the ring and grabs a mic.
Hall: “Hey Yo, if you’re going to be running this gimmick, I’m not going to follow to follow you. The Powers That Be told me, one more strike and I’m out, so I have to find nicer people to be friends with now, and I’m not burning any bridges up north now… not! By the way who the hell picks your wardrobe? Well whatever, because to all the boys in New York, we got your attitude right here *Hall does a crotch chop*”
Tony concurs and we go to commercial.

When we come back the Nitro Girls do a little dance.

Revenge is coming now!
Backstage Curt Hennig is sitting on a chair tapping his wrists, getting ready for his match. Suddenly Buff Bagwell comes running up from behind and hits him off the chair, Buff starts throwing him into the walls and stomping.
Buff: “How do you like someone to cost you a title match, huh? How do you like being attack from behind?”
Buff stomps him some more, we go to the arena where Dean Malenko is getting ready for his match against Curt Hennig.

Kronik vs XS

This match didn’t go long, Clarke and Adams basically destroyed both XS members, they finished the match off giving Lodi a Double Chokeslam (A High Time according to Tony) for the three count.
Winners: Kronik
When then go to the announcers who chat a little about the upcoming PPV, but they quickly get interrupted by Sid’s music.
I’m calling you out, right now!
Big Sid makes his way out to the ring with a mic in hand; he steps into the ring and starts to talk.
Sid: “Jeff Jarrett, last week I had a World Title shot within the reach of my arm, all I had to do was lift Sting up, plant him on the ground and count him out 1…2…3. But you had to stand in the way off that, I’ve said it in the past and I’ll say it again, if anybody stand in my way, I take them down. This is no exception. Jeff Jarrett you want to interfere in my business? You want to scre *bleep* me over, you want a fight with me? Well I accept, Jeff you just come down here right now, and I’ll face you.”
Jeff Jarrett’s music starts up and Jarrett comes walking out with the guitar over his shoulder and the two suits behind him, Jarrett tells the suits to stay outside of the ring, while he goes in to face Sid. Jarrett grabs a mic and gets ready to say something.
Jarrett: “Ok, listen up big man. I never intended to have a fight with you, last week I only did what I was told to do by The Powers That Be, The Powers That Be didn’t want a possibility of you becoming World Champion, because honestly you’re crazy, you don’t look good and you don’t smell good either. You are hardly what WCW want to present as their World Heavyweight Champion, and I agree. You are far from the best this promotion can offer, take me for example, I’m good looking, I don’t smell and I’m a world class superstar, I’m everything you’re not big Sid. So you see there is nothing personal in it, it was strictly business.”
Sid gets a very angry look on his face as he prepares to say something.
Sid: “As far as I’m concerned, when you took it upon you to do what The Powers That Be told you to, you made it personal to me. And I don’t care if it was business; I want you in the ring, but not just any ring. No Jeff Jarrett I want you at Mayhem, one on one, me against you.”
Jarrett thinks for a while before answering.
Jarrett: “Ok, I’ll be more than happy to fight you at Mayhem, so I can prove to the world that I am a big future player for this company and that you are nothing, but an old man.”
Jarrett laughs, but he quickly stops as Sid nails him with a huge right, Sid throws in a couple of blows and takes Jarrett down with a clothesline. The suits enter the ring fast, the first one runs against Sid, but Sid catches him by the throat and drills him into the ring with a Chokeslam. He then goes to brawl with the second one and grabs him by the throat too. But before Sid can lift him up, Jarrett nails Sid with a guitar shot from behind and Sid goes into the ground. Jarrett raises his arms in victory as they leave the ring.
Getting into character
Backstage Scott Hall and Kevin McNash are watching the show on a monitor.
Nash: “If Sid got scre*bleep*d The Powers That Be didn’t scre*bleep* Sid, Jeff Jarrett didn’t scre*bleep* Sid, I didn’t scre*bleep* Sid, Sid scre*bleep*d Sid.”
Hall: “Right you are big man, right you are.”
We’ll win this tournament
Backstage the Filthy Animals are discussing tactics for Eddie Guerrero’s upcoming US Title tournament match with Chris Benoit.
United States Tile Tournament
Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero w/The Filthy Animals
A very good hard fought match that went back and forth and everywhere all the time, The Animals managed to stay out of the match and let the competitors fight too, which was a good thing. Towards the end Rey distracted the referee when Benoit went up on the apron, Konnan then nailed Benoit with a chair and Benoit fell off the apron, Guerrero then climbed the turnbuckle and hit The Frog Splash for the three count.
Winner who advances: Eddie Guerrero
After the match The Filthy Animals all started stomping Chris Benoit, Arn Anderson then came running out with a chair to save behind the second week in a row, Anderson chased all The Animals off as we cut to commercial.
>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<
Why are you doing this?
Backstage Benoit is getting checked by medics and Arn Anderson is with him
Benoit: “Why do you keep helping me out?”
Anderson: “Son, it’s quite simple. I watched what you said about a month when you talked about what is wrong with this business, well I agree, but I think that you are the future of it. You have the potential to be the Ric Flair of this generation, you got the skills and everything, and I want to help you.”
Benoit: “You serious?”
Arn nods, but before Benoit can answer we cut away.
United States Title Tournament
Diamond Dallas Page w/Kimberly vs The Total Package w/Liz
Tony put over the fact that TTP beat DDP last week in the mini World Title tournament, is he able to do the same tonight? The match pretty much went like last weeks, a slug fest with punches and kicks and some moves from DDP’s site. The match finished when DDP hit the Diamond Cutter for the surprise win.
Winner who advances: Diamond Dallas Page
The announces chatted a little about Mayhem again until the next match started.
WCW Television Title

Winner and still champ: Rick Steiner
World Tag Title Match
Harlem heat vs Barry and Kendall Windham
Barry and Kendall didn’t get much offence in, they mainly just put Harlem Heat over and got their asses kicked. There wasn’t much in this match, as Booker was the only one who could really go. We also cut to commercial in the middle of it. The match finished off when Stevie hit the 110th Street Slam on Kendall
Winners and still champions: Harlem Heat
Some words from The Hitman
Gene Okerlund is backstage with The Hitman
Gene: “Bret Hitman Hart, we’ve seen tonight so far that tensions are running high everywhere going into this title match at Mayhem. What is your involvement in all this?”
Bret: “Well Gene, so far The Hitman sees this as only business, I’m here for one reason and that is to get that World Heavyweight Championship, I know Goldberg only wants to keep his title, so so far its only Sting and TTP that have personal problems going into this match. They say they stand divided, but sooner or later their ego’s are going to take them down, however me? I’m on my own and I’m going to win the title on my own, be sure of that. You know why Gene?”
Gene: “Why`?”
Bret: “Because I am the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.”
Bret leaves the screen as we cut away.
Meng vs Sting w/TTP and Liz
TTP and Liz come out with Sting, I guess to back him up. Sting and Meng go at it and Meng no sells much of what Sting throws at him, but Sting is mainly in control. Towards the end of the match, Sting got Meng locked in a sleeper hold and they are at the edge of the ring with both their heads between the middle and bottom rope. TTP suddenly pulls out a spray and sprays Sting in the eyes, the ref calls for DQ and Sting is blinded. TTP gets into the ring and takes Sting down, he locks Sting in The Toture Rack and keeps him there forever, the ref tries to get Sting down, but TTP won’t let go. Finally Bret Hart comes running in and takes Luger down from behind with Stings bat, Luger pummels TTP a little with the bat. Liz goes to check on Luger, while some medics come out and help Sting to the back, Bret follows right behind and we go to commercial, the main event is next.
Winner: Sting by DQ
>>>>>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
World Title Match
Bill Goldberg vs Bam Bam Bigelow
This actually wasn’t a squash match for once, Bigelow actually got some offence in terms of punches and kicks and some moves, but Goldberg right off after it. Match finished off in normal fashion, spear, jackhammer, three count.
Winner and still champ: Bill Goldberg
After the match Goldberg gets on the mic
Goldberg: “You know, I sat in the back and I saw what just happened. What used to be a professional cause for my title, has now turned into a personal feud between The Total Package and Sting, Well that means it’s better for me, because when they are blindsided by each other, I can take the title back home. So boys, punks I might say, be afraid, be very afraid ‘cause YOU’RE NEXT!”
The show fades to black with Goldberg making crazy eyes and showing his title.

WCW Nitro Results – Monday October 25th 1999
We immediately go to the backstage area where Sting is angrily throwing stuff around.
We then start of with a video package of everything that happened last night at Halloween Havoc, then the normal Nitro opening sequence ends and we cut to the arena where Tony Schiavone & Bobby Heenan welcome us to the show.
And we are LIVE from Philadelphia, PA
Taking care of business
We start the show off with Sting’s music hitting the arena and the former champ makes his way out to the ring angrily. He steps into the ring and demands a mic which he gets.
Sting: “I came here for one reason and one reason only tonight, and that is to get back what is rightfully mine, to get back MY WCW world heavyweight title which that gimp Bill Goldberg is carrying around in the back. I came here tonight to talk to J.J Dillion to have him take care of business and get me my title back, because you see last night I came to Halloween Havoc to fight, I was determined to fight Hogan, but it really didn’t matter, I was just looking for a fight. When Hogan then stuck his tail between his legs and took the easy way out, WCW signed me up with the newly crowned US champ, Goldberg… and he just happened to beat me. But I never agreed to it being a title match, and that’s why I want to talk whoever the hell is in charge tonight, right here in this ring, right now!”
J.J Dillions music hits to absolutely no crowd reaction whatsoever, but in spite of that the boss makes his way out with a tired look on his face, he steps into the ring and gets a mic.
Dillion: “Sting… *takes a deep breath* last night in Las Vegas you didn’t just suddenly fight Goldberg, you know as well as I that both you and him signed a contract that said that you would face each other. I got the contract in the back so I can prove it to you…”
Sting: “But I never agreed to a title match.”
Dillion: “Well then you should have read the contract, you were the WCW World Champion and you were beaten that in any wrestling federation means that you lose you title and Goldberg is now World Champion. However because Goldberg has two champions now, he is stripped of the US title which is to be held up and a tournament for it will start tonight. And now Sting, I know that you are unhappy because of what happened last night, but it does state in your WCW contract that you are entitled to a rematch, so you just tell me and you get a rematch anytime anywhere.”
Both suddenly get interrupted by Not Lex Lugers music. TTP makes his way out with Liz, he steps into the ring.
Dillion: “May I ask what the cause of the interruption is?”
*Not Luger gets a mic handed*
TTP: “Oh I’m sorry Jojo I just had something to say, I just spoke to the powers that be and they told me I have as much right to get a title shot as he has *points to Sting*. So when you and Goldberg square off, I want in on it too.”
Sting: “What the hell are you thinking…?”
Dillion: “It’s actually a good idea, I like it.”
Suddenly Bret Hart’s music blurs up and The Hitman makes his way onto the stage with a mic.
Hart: “Seeing as all idiots suddenly can get in on a title match here, put me in for it too, I think I deserve a title shot.”
*Dillion takes another deep breath as he raises the mic to his mouth*
Dillion: “You know what? I’m fine with that, but since it’s a new day in WCW I want all stars to prove themselves. So tonight all three of you have matches and if you lose your opponent will take your spot…”
Both Luger and Hart smiles while Sting is giving Luger an evil stare and we cut to commercial.
>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<
When we come back the announcers talk about the US title tournament, the brackets look like this:
WCW fear me
Tank Abbott is standing in front of a wall backstage
Abbott: “Listen up geeks, I aint no candy arse wrassler, I’m a shoot fighter dammit and what I don’t get I take. You better learn that because I plan on making my stay here in WCW a loooong stay, I’m just here to take care of business, so if you get in my way you’re not coming out alive on the other side.”
You gotta wrestle? OH MY GOD
Backstage Kevin Nash is sitting in a chair with his feet up watching the show he then calls Scott Hall and tells him to take a look at this.
Hall: “What?”
Nash: “Listen, they booked you in the US title tournament, and you’re up against this original tonight.”
Hall: “What? You’re retired, and I just don’t want to wrestle. They can’t do that to us.”

I’m my own person!
Dustin Rhodes makes his way out in a black coat with a black hat and a white mask, he steps into the ring and you can literally hear the fans laughing in the background.
Dustin: “Look at me…Look at this outfit I am in, I left WWF to get away from gimmicks like this, I came here to WCW to be me, Dustin Rhodes, but noooo Dusting Rhodes isn’t exciting enough, Dustin Rhodes isn’t interesting enough, so they dressed me up like Uncle Fester and The Undertakers lovechild. But you know what? I’m sick of this crap, from now on I’m not going to take this anymore.”
*Dustin rips his mask and outfit of to reveal a wrestling outfit consisting of a black shirt and red leather pants*
Dustin: “I challenge anyone in WCW to a hardcore match right now because I am the hardest hitting man in WCW and I’m going to prove it now, ME Dustin Rhodes.”

Hardcore Match

Vivi La Raza
The Filthy Animals come out to the ring with big grins on their faces, they step into the ring and Eddie Guerrero gets on the mic.
Eddie: “It doesn’t matter how many times WCW book the animals against each other, we will always survive hahahaha. Now last night, we showed why we are the dominating team in WCW when we took out old man Flair. We gave Ric Flair such an ass kicking, that he won’t sit, walk or come back in a long long time. So now with him gone, we can get down to more important business, ese.”
*Eddie passes the mic to Kidman*
Kidman: “Yes because that, that old…”
*Mysterio covers Kidman’s mout and reminds him this family entertainment*
Kidman: “…oh yeah. Sorry Vince. Well with Ric Flair gone we can focus on The Revolution, The Revolution have been annoying us for a long time now and that’s why we challenge you to a 6 man elimination tag match at Mayhem and we will take you too school.”
Suddenly before The Animals can say anymore The Revolution storm the ring and gets into a big brawl with The Animals, eventually they get The Animals chased off and Douglas gets on the mic.
Douglas: “Any time anywhere, we accept your challenge for Mayhem, and we’ll show you who the superior team is.”
>>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Truth is, I am a freak
We are backstage in a darkroom with very little light; we can see Vampiro standing in a red light.
Vampiro: “You know, ever since I first came to WCW I felt like I have been misplaced, that I don’t belong here because there are so many people and I was always kind of a loner who didn’t really have any friends, and now suddenly there are all these people with great success and good looks and then there’s me, an ugly freak who doesn’t fit in anywhere. But I try, I try so hard to fit in with the normal people, but you know it just doesn’t work and then they mock me and I get really upset and then it gets worst for them and you know I’m sorry for all the bad things I’ve done, but I just kinda had too because they told me too. And now I’m suddenly in this US Title tournament and I’m going up against Berlyn next, and Berlyn is very successful and has many friends and good looks and you know it just pisses me off so you know I’m going to go out there tonight and prove to myself and everyone else that freaks can fight too…”
United States Title Tournament
Berlyn w/The Wall vs Vampiro
The match started out pretty even, but half way towards the match Vampiro started laying a lot of martial arts moves on Berlyn and got really dominant. This of course made The Wall interfere a lot, but to no luck. At one point Berlyn had Vampiro up against the ropes and ran towards him, Vampiro lifted him up and threw him over the top rope onto The Wall taking them both out; Vampiro rolled him into the ring again and hit The Nail In The Coffin for the three count.
Winner who advances: Vampiro
Are ya ready?
Backstage The Outsiders are getting ready, Kevin Nash is still dressed as Jim Cornette and Hall is in wrestling gear now.
Nash: *waving wildly with a tennis racket* “Scott, are ya ready? Tonight you’re gonna go up against Tank Abbott and you’re gonna him down good. Tonight you will kick Tank Abbotts ass, shoot fighter or not, tonight Tank Abbott’s going down…”
Nash started talking faster and faster and eventually you couldn’t hear what he was saying, Scott just kept nodding as we cut away.
Another place backstage The Total Package and Liz are WALKING.
World Title Match mini-tournament
The Total Package Not Lex Luger w/Elisabeth vs Diamond Dallas Page w/Kimberly
Pretty boring match as it was just a slug fest. A few suplexes were hit, but this was mostly just a hit and punch match, eventually Liz interfered on behalf of Luger and got into a cat fight with Kimberly. Further into the match Luger locked DDP into the Toture Rack and he tapped.
Winner who is going to the ME at Mayhem: The Total Package

I am my own man
Backstage Chris Benoit is getting ready; Gene approaches him and asks him for comments about last night.
Benoit: “You know Gene, I am fed up with all this crap about the Revolution, if they want a war I’ll give them one, cause quiet frankly I think they are in over they’re heads here with me, Flair and The Animals. But don’t worry I wont stop, I mean Dean is someone I’ve known my entire life, he is like a brother to me. But I don’t care anymore, he turned on me last night and he’ gonna pay for that mark my words.”
Gene: “Big words from Chris Benoit.”
Another place backstage The Revolution is watching with big grins on their faces.

David started coming a little back, but not much Bagwell still dominated him. The finish came when Flair locked Buff in the Figure Four Leg Lock and Buff surprisesingly tapped.
Winner who advances: David Flair
Did I do it well Russo?
Flair left the ring right after the pinfall was made as Buff got up and on the mic.
Buff: “Did I do a good enough job for you, huh Russo? Did I? Because I am so sick and tired of this s**t, I am so tired of jobbing and getting my ass kicked every single week on WCW TV, well it isn’t going to happen no more, because I tell you this Russo, you can…”
Bagwell can’t say anymore because he suddenly gets attacked by Curt Hennig and beat down, we then cut to commercial.

And Gene I intend to go to Mayhem and beat the other four dorks and become the WCW World Heavyweight champion for the first time in my career. Because I am the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.”
World Title Mini-Tournament
Bret Hart vs Curt Hennig
This was a good technical match, it started off in brawling,, but quickly turned into a very technical match with a lot of mat wrestling. The match was fought very even and nobody really went on top most of the time, the finish came when Curt Hennig tapped out to the Sharpshooter.
Winner who goes to Mayhem to fight for the title: Bret Hart
You owe me money
Backstage Disco is talking to someone who is apparently named Tony.
Tony: *With Italian accent* Disco, you promised me you would win tonight and advance in this tournament, I bet my money on you. How could you let me down?”
Disco: “Listen I’m sorry Tony, but I thought I had him beat.”
Tony: “Well punk, the fact is you owe me money now. So unless you want to answer to the boys, you gotta start doing stuff for me. You follow?”
Disco: “Answering to the boys doesn’t sound nice, so ok…”
Tony: “Good, follow me…”
Mysterious
Backstage Jeff Jarrett is leaving The Powers The Be’s office.
Jarrett: “Yes I’ll take care of it.”
Jarrett then goes of cam.
Chris Benoit vs Dean Malenko
Very good matcg, another good technical match. Gutsy booking by WCW. Half way through the match The Revoultion ran in and started beating down Benoit with weapons, suddenly Double A Arn Anderson ran in with a chair and chased The Revolution off.

>>>>>>>>Commercial<<<<<<<<<<<<
Brian Knobbs & Hugh Morrus w/Jimmy Hart vs Rey Mysterio Jr & Billy Kidman

The champ says a few words
Backstage Gene Okerlund approaches the champ Bill Goldberg.
Okerlund: “Bill tonight it was decided that at Mayhem you will defend your title against three men, now we have already found out two of these men. And in a few minutes we will find out whether Sid Vicious or Sting will be in the match. Your comments?”
Goldberg: “Well Gene, I haven’t got much of a say in things like that. Other than I am once again the WCW champion and I will defend the title against anyone, anywhere mark my words. At Mayhem I don’t care who is in the match, because fact of the matter is, I will we walk out the champ.”
Goldberg leaves as Gene says some final words
World Title Mini-Tournament
Sting vs Sid Vicious
An ok match, no moves were really hit it was mostly just a slug fest and it looked like Sting didn’t really want to be there. Midway through the match two suits run out (Skull & 8-Ball from the WWF), they take out the ref and start beating on Sid who fights back to no avail. After they beat him down, Jeff Jarrett comes down, they hold him up and Jeff breaks the guitar over Sid’s head. All three men stomp him a little and then place Sting on top of him. They leaves the ring as the ref awakens and counts to three.
Winner who goes to Mayhem to fight for the title: Sting
Jarrett and the suits make their way up the ramp, we see Sting celebrate as the show fades to black.

WCW 1999: Can Russo save the sinking ship?
1999 had not been a good year for WCW; the old superstars were still dominating. At the start of the year the nWo had been reformed once again much to the dismay of the fans. So far WCW had had world champions like: Hollywood Hogan, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash and Randy Savage. DDP did manage to finally get a big break and become champ twice though. Fans were getting tired of the product as it was the same superstars on top and the same things happening again and again. While WWF were showing exciting new superstar and entertaining storylines, WCW was still keeping the old farts on top and the young shining talents in WCW were getting fed up with it all. Many superstars were trying to get out as soon as they could and around June 1999 Chris Jericho, one of the companies most promising talents left and morals were as low as ever under Bischoff’s regime. The old stars were basically doing what they wanted to, the young stars were suffering and Bischoff was going crazy from stress, the WCW product was being affected by it. That’s when WCW management decided it was time for a change…
Around September, WCW was going down fast, the newly appointed President of WCW Bill Busch and Harvey Schiller among others decided that it couldn’t continue this way; Bill Busch had a contact inside WWF, a contact by the name of Vince Russo. Busch convinced Russo to jump ship along with Ed Ferrara. At this time Bischoff had been send home and Kevin Nash, Kevin Sullivan and others were holding down the fort until Russo’s arrival which was to be after Halloween Havoc. But in the weeks they were holding the fort down, the booking was so horrendous, WCW decided that Russo should start early and he did. His first day on duty was October 18th 1999, the Nitro before Halloween Havoc. Russo also got to do Halloween Havoc which actually wasn’t a bad show. And now, everybody was wondering, could Russo and Ferrara save the sinking ship?...
