WCW: Thunder
February 4, 1999
Providence, RI
Providence Civic Center

The current WCW champs are as follows:

They replay part of the ending of last week’s Monday Nitro where Hollywood Hogan and the Hell’s Angel dude Chuck Zito are shown riding in a town car on their way to Charlotte to stalk David Flair. In the arena, Ric Flair, Dean Malenko, and Arn Anderson are watching on a monitor, which makes no sense considering they are now being filmed straight onto the Nitro feed. No?

Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, and Bobby Heenan. Read the rest of this entry

WCW: Monday Nitro (11.09.98)

WCW: Monday Nitro
November 9, 1998
Uniondale, NY
Nassau Coliseum

The current WCW champs are as follows:
WCW World Champion: Bill Goldberg (7/6/1998)
WCW U.S. Champion: Diamond Dallas Page (10/26/1998)
WCW World Tag Team Champions: Rick Steiner & Kenny Kaos (10/26/1998)
WCW World Television Champion: Chris Jericho (8/10/1998)
WCW Cruiserweight Champion: Billy Kidman (9/14/1998)

Right off the freaking bat we get a SUPER patriotic start to the show because Hollywood Hogan – the guy WCW has vilified as an evil human being for the past 2+ years has announced he’s running for POTUS – and we really want to encourage that. I tell ya, Jesse Ventura becoming the new Governor of Minnesota might actually have been the worst thing to happen to wrestling because wrestling never knows when to quit – and this is a perfect example of that. Since they haven’t had much major “media attention” over the past couple months, they have clearly missed it.

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

An intoxicated Scott Hall is shown walking around backstage carrying a paper sack with sounds like glass inside. He finds Doug Dellinger and tells him to go find out who wrecked his car. You know you’re in the nWo, right? Why should Dellinger help you? Dellinger suggests Hall go find some coffee, but Hall doesn’t like being told what to do – especially by a guy like Doug Dellinger. Ehh, who can blame him? Hall sarcastically tells Dellinger that his car will be easy to find because it’s the one that’s wrecked. Sounds like Scott Hall is ready to wrestle tonight.

NITRO GIRLS!

Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, and Bobby Heenan. WE WANT FLAIR! Tony shows us a clip of WCW security trying to hold back Ernest Miller and Norman Smiley from ripping each other apart. Yeah, because when I think of EXCITING feuds where two guys who can’t keep their hands off each other, the Cat and Norman Smiley feud is at the top of that list.

Heenan said he would give us his bold prediction on who wins Wargames tonight. According to Bobby, anybody could win this match tonight. TALK ABOUT YOUR BOLD PREDICTIONS. Read the rest of this entry
