WCW MONDAY NITRO IS UNOPPOSED THIS WEEK! THAT’S RIGHT – THE USA NETWORK HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY DOGS!

They start the show replaying the stuff between Hollywood Hogan, Chuck Zito, Ric Flair, and Arn Anderson from last week on Nitro. They left in the “jiggly jiggly jew” comment from Hogan, which is weird. Turns out David Flair is just fine!

They start the show with a flashback to last week’s Thunder when Vincent (or Vince as he wants to be called now) proclaimed he was the new leader of the nWo B&W (while wearing an nWo Wolfpac t-shirt) and realized he was being filmed. As it turns out, the people watching him were the nWo Wolfpac dudes (Hogan, Nash, etc.) hanging out in their limo. They did not look happy and let the crew know what time it is.

HOUR NUMBER ONE! Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, and Larry Zbyszko. Read the rest of this entry

Outside the United Center, Eric Bischoff yells at building security and Doug Dellinger to keep Ric Flair out of the building. He’s an easy guy to spot: big nose, white hair, and goes WOO all the time. He’ll also be surrounded by the ugliest people you’ll ever see, so KEEP THEM OUT.

We quickly go back to last week on Nitro where Sting was being fitted with a neck brace and a stretcher as a result of his backstage brawl with Bret Hart.
