WCW Monday Nitro 19.03.01
Nitro opens with pyro as the fans go crazy and WCW is live from the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. A video package highlights what happened last night at WCW Greed. The video finishes with WCW World Heavyweight champion Scott Steiner and the rest of the Magnificent Seven standing over the bloody body of Diamond Dallas Page. The camera pans round to the announce team of Mike Tenay and Tony Schiavone.
Tony Schiavone: Welcome to Monday Nitro. We are live tonight from the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. We have just come of the back of the biggest WCW event ever. Last night at WCW Greed we saw two WCW titles change hand. Crowbar defeated Meng for the WCW Hardcore title, also last night “Sugar” Shane Helms finally reached his goal to become the WCW Cruiserweight title in a triple threat match. After hitting the nightmare on Helms street he then pinned his former partner Shannon Moore to win his first WCW title.
Mike Tenay: Well Tony, last night at WCW Greed we saw Diamond Dallas Page getting beaten down by the Magnificent Seven. Thus letting Scott Steiner synch in the Steiner Recliner and get the submission victory.
Tony Schiavone: With Scott Steiner as WCW World Heavyweight champion and Ric Flair as the WCW President, the Magnificent Seven cannot be touched. I hear that the Magnificent Seven have something to say regarding last nights matches.
The cameras change from being in the arena with Mike Tenay and Tony Schiavone to being in the backstage area. The Magnificent Seven are in a room by themselves. They are all wearing tuxes with black ties. At the front of the room are three brown coffins. The Magnificent Seven are joined by Midajah. Everyone are all sitting on chairs and are dabbing there eyes with handkerchiefs. Then as the WCW President “Nature boy” Ric Flair stands up a message flashes on the screen.
R.I.P
1940 - 2001
Here lie Dusty and Dustin Rhodes as well as Diamond Dallas Page.
Their careers are now over and have been finished by the Magnificent Seven.
Ric Flair walks to the front of the room and stands beside the three coffins. The rest of the Magnificent Seven are all quietly crying.
Ric Flair: Today we are here to say our final good byes to three peoples careers. The three men I am talking about are the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, his son who has no talent whatsoever, Dustin Rhodes. Last but not least we come to the man who got beaten nearly to death by the Magnificent Seven last night, Diamond Dallas Page. As of last night myself along with Jeff Jarrett and the WCW World Heavyweight champion, Scott Steiner ended the careers of these three men. In our tag team match last night, myself and Jeff Jarrett beat the holy hell out of both of the Rhodes. You see when I, the WCW President decides that someone’s career must come to an end, well everyone knows that ill do it. Lets look back over the past few months and see who the greatest faction in wrestling, the Magnificent Seven has either put on the shelf. Or plain and simply retired for ever.
A video airs of Goldberg, Sting, Booker T, the Rhodes, DDP, Sid and Kevin Nash all are shown on the video all having R.I.P across the screen in front of them.
Ric Flair: You see, when the Nature Boy and his faction of elite wrestlers wants to retire someone, then we will do it. And as of right now, there is nobody left to retire. But back to tonight’s proceedings, we are hear to talk about the careers of the Rhodes and DDP. So I would like to invite up here to join me. My tag team partner from last night, the “Chosen One” Jeff Jarrett.
Jeff Jarrett stands up from his seat. He’s holding a guitar over his right shoulder and he walks forward to join Ric Flair at the front of the room. Jarrett shakes hands with Flair before he begins to address the Magnificent Seven.
Jeff Jarrett: Last night at WCW Greed the “Chosen One” and the “Nature Boy” finally ended the career of the Rhodes boys. Over the past few weeks Dusty Rhodes has been getting involved in the Magnificent Sevens business. So last night I lifted his fat body to his feet and rattled the acoustic equalizer over his head. Then the WCW President, Ric Flair slapped on the figure four, and the result was inevitable in the end. Over the last few weeks the son of Dusty Rhodes, slap nuts himself, Dustin Rhodes as been trying to take me out and mess with the plans of the Magnificent Seven. I finished his career last night when I hit him with a guitar and delivered the most deadly move in wrestling history, the stroke. So now I would like to introduce the WCW World Heavyweight champion, “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner.
Scott Steiner stands up and walks to the front of the room to join Jarrett and Flair. He has his World Title draped over his right shoulder. He shakes hands with Flair and Jarrett. Jarrett moves past him and goes and retakes his seat. Steiner looks into the camera and pretends to cry hysterically.
Scott Steiner: At WCW Greed last night I witnessed a man who I grew up watching as a kid get destroyed. I am not talking about Dusty Rhodes. I am talking about Diamond “I’m Washed up” Dallas Page. Over the past few months I have been a non stop wrecking machine, and last night the Magnificent Seven cut away the last three cancers in this company. The last person to be destroyed was DDP. I took his old carcass and through him around last night. I made him bleed from his head, I made him beg for mercy. So like the merciful World Champion I am, I locked him in the Steiner Recliner until he fell unconscious.
The Magnificent Seven all cheer loudly as Steiner depicts what happened to DDP last night at Greed.
Scott Steiner: So to close out this ceremony I would like to ask the Undertakers to come in and help us take these coffins out.
Four men walk through the door and the end of the room. They lift the first coffin up and take him out.
Ric Flair: There are four men left in WCW who stand in my way between having full control of everyone and everything in the company and those four men are the Cat Ernest Miller, Kronik and the WCW United States Heavyweight champion Mike Awesome. And tonight on Monday Nitro I am going to make three matches.
The Undertakers walk back into the room and pick up the second coffin and carry it out of the room.
Ric Flair: So tonight the Cat you are going to be taking on the “Dog Face Gremlin” Rick Steiner. Kronik you will be taking on Totally Buff in tag team action, with the winners of that match will take on the WCW Tag Team champions Sean O`Haire and Chuck Palumbo at Spring Stampede. Lastly in the main event of the evening, its going to be the “Chosen One” Jeff Jarrett taking on Mike Awesome with the WCW United States Heavyweight title on the line.
The undertakers walk back into the room and go to lift the third coffin. But they cant seem to be able to lift it. Ric Flair looks at the undertakers.
Ric Flair: I am paying you to take these coffins away.
Undertaker: We cant lift it.
Ric Flair: Oh that must be Dusty in that coffin. Boys help the undertakers lift Dusty up.
The Magnificent Seven get to there feet and help the undertakers lift the third coffin. Flair, Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett and Midajah watch the coffin being taken out of the room.
Commercial break
We come back from the commercial break and David Penzer is ready in the ring to announce the opening contest on WCW Monday Nitro.
David Penzer: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the opening contest of WCW Monday Nitro. Already in the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 387 pounds, here are Brian Kendrick and Chris Sabin.
Both men wave to the crowd but they get no response.
David Penzer: And there opponents in this match, at a combined weight of 418 pounds, representing the Filthy Animals and accompanied by Tygress, here are Rey Mysterio Junior and Billy Kidman.
The Filthy Animals music hit’s the two men and Tygress make there way out. The fans give them a good crowd response as they make there way into the ring. Tygress stays at ringside as Kidman and Sabin are going to be the two men starting out this match.
Match one: Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio Junior W/ Tygress VS Chris Sabin and Brian Kendrick.
The match was a high flying affair with lots of moves being performed from the inside to the outside and plenty of moves from the top ropes.
Closing Minutes:
Kidman and Rey Mysterio have control of Brian Kendrick in the ring as Sabin is on the arena floor. Kidman hit’s a baseball slide into Sabin as he crashes into the guard rail. Rey Mysterio whips Kendrick in to the ropes and hit’s a spinning heel kick to the jaw of Kendrick. Kidman gets back to his feet and lifts Kendrick back up he puts him on the top rope. Mysterio goes up to join him and hit’s a top rope Franken Steiner from the top rope. Kidman covers

The Filthy Animals pick up a victory in this tag team match. Tygress comes into the ring and hugs Mysterio. Kidman raises Mysterios hand into the air. Kidman pins Brian Kendrick at 4.29 after a Franken Steiner.
Chavo Guerreros music hits as he makes his way out from the back. He’s wearing jeans and a shirt as he makes his way to the ring. He no longer has the WCW Cruiserweight title as he lost it to Sugar Shane Helms in a three way match. He walks down the aisle way to loud boos from the crowd. He gets into the ring and grabs a microphone.
Chavo Guerrero: Last night I lost my WCW Cruiserweight title in a triple threat match, you see I never got pinned or was never made to submit. So Salty Shane Helms you better not get too comfortable with my belt around your waist because very soon ill be taking my title belt back.
Rey Mysterio takes a microphone and looks into the eyes of Chavo.
Rey Mysterio: Chavo, you see last night at Greed your not the only person who had a match. You see in my match, I defeated Elix Skipper to become the number one contender for the WCW Cruiserweight title. And when Shane Helms won the belt from you I was happy because I knew that I can put on a better match with him that I ever could do with you.
The fans cheer as Chavo looks shocked.
Chavo Guerrero: You see Rey, you may have a match for the Cruiserweight title at Spring Stampede, but I still have my return match clause. If I lost the belt I could get my rematch and at Spring Stampede I may well take it. But as of right now you are standing in my ring and you are disrespecting the greatest Cruiserweight ever to grace this planet.
Rey Mysterio: Greatest on the plant huh? How about you prove it!
Chavo Guerrero: You want a match, you want to experience what the best in the world can do? Your on.
Natural Born Thrillers music hits as the WCW Commissioner Mike Sanders makes his way out. He’s got a microphone in his hand.
Mike Sanders: I am the Commissioner and I make the matches in WCW. Neither of you have the power to do that. So I have got a little proposition for you. So far we have two people who want to be in the match against “Sugar” Shane Helms at Spring Stampede, so how about we make it four competitors rather than three.
Fans pop for Sanders announcement.
Mike Sanders: Next week on Monday Nitro, its going to be Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio Junior and the WCW Cruiserweight champion “Sugar” Shane Helms taking on Chavo Guerrero and the newly reformed 2 Count, Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore.
The fans cheers loudly.
Mike Sanders: Shut up you stupid red necks, I have got more to say.
The fans boo Sanders.
Mike Sanders: And the stipulations of the match go like this, if Chavos team wins it will be a four way elimination match at Spring Stampede, Shane Helms defending against Rey Mysterio, Shannon Moore and Chavo Guerrero. But if Rey Mysterio team wins it will also be a four man elimination match but it will be Kidman instead of Shannon Moore in the match. Good luck for next week gentlemen.
Mysterio and Kidman stare down Chavo.
Commercial break
We come back from the Commercial break and the cameras are on Mike Tenay and Tony Schiavone.
Tony Schiavone: Well Mike Sanders just laid down the law to the Cruiserweights.
Mike Tenay: But Sugar Shane Helms must not be happy about being put into a four corners elimination match. He just won the title belt last night, just 24 hours later he’s being put in a match against 3 other wrestlers at Spring Stampede. I think that the odds are against “Sugar” Shane Helms at the pay per view.
Tony Schiavone: We haven’t heard Helms opinion on this matter but I am sure we will hear from him later on tonight. Also tonight we have three big matches that were made by Ric Flair earlier on tonight and they will also have stipulations regarding Spring Stampede. The former Commissioner the Cat Ernest Miller will take on the “Dog Face Gremlin” Rick Steiner in one on one action.
Mike Tenay: Not forgetting the tag team match between Totally Buff taking on Kronik with the winning team taking on the WCW World Tag Team champions Sean O`Haire and Chuck Palumbo at Spring Stampede. And then finally in our main event of the evening we have U.S Heavyweight champion Mike Awesome taking on the “Chosen One” Jeff Jarrett with Awesomes title belt on the line. We could see either Jeff Jarrett or Mike Awesome taking on the number one contender for the U.S title Lance Storm at Spring Stampede.
Tony Schiavone: Well that’s what’s still to come fans but up next we have the psychotic and deranged WCW Hardcore champion Crowbar taking on Bam Bam Bigelow, and the match will be contested under hardcore rules. Lets take a look at the video concerning Crowbar.
The video airs of WCW Hardcore champion Crowbar assaulting Meng and Bam Bam Bigelow at Superbrawl Revenge. He then took the Hardcore title and began proclaiming that he was the rightful owner of the belt. Then it shows Crowbar officially winning the title from Meng at WCW Greed. We then pan back to the ring where David Penzer has a microphone in his hand.
David Penzer: Ladies and gentlemen this is our next contest tonight on WCW Nitro, introducing first from Asbury Park, weighing in at 328 pounds here is Bam Bam Bigelow.
Bam Bams music hits as Bigelow makes his way out from the backstage area. The fans give him a reasonable response as he walks to the ring. He gets to a about halfway to the ring before Crowbar runs down and jumps him from behind with a crowbar. He drills him in the back and begins to lay waste to Bam Bam. Bigelow falls to the floor as Crowbar drops the crowbar and puts the boot to his opponent. He lifts Bigelow up to his feet and drags him towards the ring. He slams him head first into the apron before whipping him back first into the steel steps. Crowbar looks into the camera and laughs like a maniac. He then walks around to Bigelow and lifts him back to his feet. He pushes him into the ring. Crowbar then picks up a steel chair from the ringside area. Crowbar slides back into the ring and this match is finally under way.
Match two, Non title: WCW Hardcore champion Crowbar VS Bam Bam Bigelow.
Crowbar repeatedly cracks Bigelow with the chair before he climbs to the outside and grabs a table from under the ring. He slides the table into the ring and begins to put it into position. Bigelow is on his knees as Crowbar lifts the chair once again and drills Bigelow right between the eyes. Crowbar laughs loudly as the fans boo Crowbar. He then lifts Bigelow up to his feet and places him on to the table. Crowbar then proceeds to go to the top rope. He jumps of the top rope and nails a guillotine leg drop onto Bigelow which drives him though the table. Crowbar covers

The WCW Hardcore champion Crowbar picks up this win at 1.24
He looks down at Bigelow who has been busted open by the chair shot he received from Crowbar. Crowbar begins to hammer Bigelow with continuous right hands to the skull. Suddenly the Tongan monster Meng runs down from the backstage area. He climbs into the ring as Crowbar scatters. Crowbar then begins to walk up the ramp way. Meng looks over Bam Bam Bigelow. On the ramp way Crowbar looks down at his knuckles which has the blood of Bigelow on them. Crowbar looks down at the blood and licks the blood of and begins to laugh like a mad man. The cameras then backstage were we see Mean Gene Okerlund standing by with Team Canada.
Gene Okerlund: Lance Storm last night at WCW Greed you defeated Kanyon to become the number one contender for the WCW U.S Heavyweight title at Spring Stampede. But due to Ric Flairs announcement earlier on tonight Mike Awesome will have to defend his title before then, how do you feel about this.
Lance Storm: You see Gene, last night I defeated Kanyon with the Canadian Maple Leaf, and at Spring Stampede I will also put the Canadian Maple Leaf on either Jeff Jarrett or Mike Awesome, to me it doesn’t matter who I put in the best submission move to come out of Canada on. I’m still going to walk out of the Pay per view with the Canadian Heavyweight title once again around my waist.
Gene Okerlund: You seem pretty confident about becoming the WCW United States Heavyweight champion once again, but what about what happened a few weeks ago when the Filthy Animals got involved in one of your matches.
Lance Storm: Canadian heavyweight title Gene, and don’t forget that. And regarding the Filthy Animals, there may be only two of us in Team Canada at the present time but believe me we are growing, and soon we will have a faction that will be far and beyond ahead of the Filthy Animals, the Magnificent Seven and the Natural Born Thrillers and you can mark my words on that.
Elix Skipper and Lance Storm leave the interview set as Gene Okerlund glares in there direction.
Gene Okerlund: I hate Canadians. Back to you guys.
The cameras pan around to the announcers once again.
Tony Schiavone: Well as you just heard Team Canada is apparently growing according to Lance Storm. Ill be interested to see who the new members will be, but first we need to go to a commercial break, but when we come back we have got Kronik taking on Totally Buff with the winners facing O`Haire and Palumbo at Spring Stampede. See you after this short break.
Commercial break
We come back from the break and we go to the backstage area where Hugh Morrus is standing in the locker room with Sergeant A-Wall.
Hugh Morrus: What the hell was that about last night. Why did Lash just walk out?
Sergeant A-Wall: Hugh I don’t know, ring him and ask him.
Hugh Morrus: I tried earlier and I had no response, what are we going to do? First Chavo turns his back on the M.I.A and now Lash has done the same.
Sergeant A-Wall: I don’t think he’s turning his back on the M.I.A, I just think something’s wrong.
Hugh Morrus: I am going to find him you stay here and ill see you later.
Sergeant A-Wall: See you in a bit.
Morrus walks to the door and opens it up he walks through the door way and begins to walk down the corridor. He hears a noise further on down the corridor. Morrus begins to move more hastily. He turns left and there’s a door way which is open. Hugh sticks his head in side and gets waffled between the eyes with a steel chair shot. Lash Leroux emerges from the door way and drops the chair he then repeatedly nails Hugh Morrus in the head with right hands. Lash then gets of Hugh and looks down at him.
Lash Leroux: You sure as hell aren’t laughing now.
Lash walks of as Hugh Morrus is left holding his forehead. The camera pans back inside the arena as David Penzer is in the ring once again and is ready to introduce the next match.

Buff Bagwell: You see you stupid hicks, when the Magnificent Seven want something done they do everything in their power to get the job done. So tonight Kronik, you two are going to come down to this ring and you will experience the genius that is Totally Buff. You tell them Lex.
Bagwell hands the microphone to Luger as the fans boo louder than ever.

Luger points to Bagwell and himself.
Lex Luger: We will go on to Spring Stampede and defeat these cocky hot shots the Natural Born Thrillers, and take there tag team belts.

Bryan Clarke gets to his knees but also gets hit with a title belt to the head from Palumbo. The Natural Born Thrillers stand over the new number one contenders and look pretty impressed with there efforts tonight. The cameras then pan to Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay.
Tony Schiavone: Kronik are our new number one contenders for the WCW World Tag Team championships. But obviously Sean O`Haire and Chuck Palumbo wanted to send a message to there challengers at Spring Stampede.
Mike Tenay: Well Ric Flair is not going to be happy with the performance of Totally Buff this evening. He wanted Kronik to be taken care of and now they have the chance to become the WCW World Tag Team champions.
Tony Schiavone: Well I hear we need to go backstage as Mean Gene Okerlund are standing by with the Filthy Animals.
The cameras pan backstage to the locker room where Konnan, Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman and Tygress are standing by with Mean Gene Okerlund.
Gene Okerlund: Earlier on this evening WCW Commissioner Mike Sanders made a match for Spring Stampede. So what do you think about this situation Rey Mysterio Junior?
Rey Mysterio: Gene, you see when Shane Helms won the Cruiserweight title at Greed he didn’t imagine who would be challenging him next, but in WCW we have the most competitive division in the world. So Shane you better believe that people want your belt, but I know you’re a fighting champion, and next week when we face of in that six man tag it will determine who else will be in the match at WCW Spring Stampede. Whether its Billy Kidman or Shannon Moore as the fourth man you know that the match will be one of the best Cruiserweight spectacles ever.
Gene Okerlund: So Billy Kidman what are your thoughts about next week?
Billy Kidman: Next week is my chance to get into the title match at Spring Stampede, so I will not only be trying for our team to win the match but also to prove to everyone that I am one of the best Cruiserweights around.
Theres a knock at the door and “Sugar” Shane Helms walks into the locker room with the WCW Cruiserweight title around his waist.
Shane Helms: Rey, Kidman next week when we team together I am still going to have your backs in the match. I can trust you two more than I can trust Chavo and Shannon so next week I am with you. But as soon as Spring Stampede hits its every man for himself.
Shane turns and leaves the locker room.
Rey Mysterio: He better have our back next week or otherwise he’s not going to have any friends in this company.
Gene Okerlund: Well we have heard from the Filthy Animals and WCW Cruiserweight champion so back to you at ringside.
The cameras pan to Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay.
Tony Schiavone: Well Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman have both stated that they want to win next weeks match, and we also just heard from the WCW Cruiserweight champion “Sugar” Shane Helms. Helms has told the Animals that next week they will have to trust each other.
Commercial break
We come back from the short break and Mike Sanders the WCW Commissioner is sitting in his office. Theres a knock at the door and Reno, Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak walk in.
Mike Sanders: Where have you guys been.
Reno: We just arrived. We got delayed on the way.
Mike Sanders: So how come O`Haire and Palumbo were here two hours before we started the show?
Shawn Stasiak: Well they are champions, and the last time I looked none of us are champions.
Mike Sanders: Whos fault is that?
Shawn Stasiak: So why are we here anyway, we don’t have a match.
Mike Sanders: Yes you do.
Reno: What?
Mike Sanders: Yes ive booked you in a match because you arrived late. Its going to be you three against the Misfits in Action. Its going to be a six man tag team match and your on next.
Reno, Stasiak and Jindrak all look at each other with disgust then leave Sanders office.
Mike Sanders: Hey camera man ive got something to say so put the camera on the Commissioner of this stinking company. At Srping Stampede, due to the match earlier between Totally Buff and Kronik, I am forced to make the match between Kronik and O`Haire and Palumbo for the pay per view but Kronik I’m not sure your going to make it to Spring Stampede because over the next few weeks I’m going to not only make your life a living hell, but also the Cat Ernest Miller and anyone else who wants to stand in my way or of the Natural Born Thrillers. I have got a few things to attend to so get your stinking ass out of my office.
Sanders stands up and pushes the camera man into a locker. The camera pans around to Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay.
Mike Tenay: I sense there is some distension within the ranks of the Natural Born Thrillers.
Tony Schiavone: I agree Mike, but Mike Sanders is the commissioner he has the power to book matches and do anything that he wants. He didn’t seem happy about the other members of the Natural Born Thrillers turning up late this evening.
Mike Tenay: What about the threat he issued to Kronik and the Cat, claiming that over the next few weeks he is going to make there life’s a living hell.
Tony Schiavone: Well like Sanders said the match at Spring Stampede is official, Sean O`Haire and Chuck Palumbo, the WCW World Tag Team champions will be defending their belts against Bryan Clarke and Brian Adams, together they are Kronik.
Mike Tenay: Know we are going backstage to the Magnificent Sevens locker room.
The cameras pan to the Magnificent Sevens changing room: Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, Midajah are all sitting in chairs whereas Rick Steiner is standing next to his brother.
Ric Flair: So later on Jeff beats Awesome in the main event.
Scott Steiner: I have decided that I’m going to be at ringside for Jarretts match tonight.
Ric Flair: Well I don’t see any need to, the “Chosen One” will take care of Mike Awesome and he will reclaim the WCW United States Heavyweight title for the Magnificent Seven. And when Lex and Buff pull the fingers out of there asses and win the tag belts. We will have not only control of the company, but we will have all the big titles and nobody to stand against us.
Rick Steiner: Speaking of Buff and Lex, where the hell are they?
Ric Flair: Well they had there match with Kronik, and then I havent seen them since. You got any idea Scott?
Scott Steiner: Haven’t got a clue.
Theres a knock at the door and the “Chosen One” Jeff Jarrett marches into the room with a guitar over his right shoulder.
Ric Flair: Chosen One, are you ready, are you pumped for tonight, you and Awesome, one on one. Your going to reclaim the U.S Belt tonight. Whoo!!! And then the Magnificent Seven is going to style and profile right here tonight.
Jeff Jarrett: Don’t you worry about Awesome tonight I’ve got something up my sleeve for him. But Ric, I just spoke to that slap ass Mike Sanders and he said that hes looking for you.
Ric Flair: Well what does he want to talk to me about?
Jeff Jarrett: Something about Spring Stampede. Where are Buff and Lex?
Rick Steiner: That’s what we were just discussing. We haven’t seen or heard from them since their match with Kronik.
Ric Flair: Rick, I’ve got something for you to take care of. Go find Totally Buff and then take out the Cat, Kronik and Mike Awesome. And don’t screw this up like Lex and Buff did earlier.
Rick Steiner leaves the room as Mike Sanders makes his way into the room wearing a suit.
Mike Sanders: Ric I’ve got to discuss what the main event will be at Spring Stampede. You see I’ve got a couple of ideas to put Scott Steiner in a match with…
Scott Steiner stands up and grabs Sanders by the throat.
Scott Steiner: I will defend my title against who I want when I want and you cant do a damn thing about it. If you want to put me in a match ill beat the hell out of you then ill beat my opponent into the fricking ground.
Mike Sanders: Please release me. (Sanders cant breath)
Ric Flair: Scotty drop him and take a seat, he cant make a title match without my authorization.
Steiner releases Sanders and retakes his seat. Sanders slides down the wall holding his throat. He begins to regain his feet and Flair looks down at him.
Ric Flair: As I was saying, Mike you cant make a match with out my say so. So what I’m going to do is make a number one contenders tournament to find a new number one contender for Scott Steiners title.
Scott Steiner: WHAT!!!!!!
Ric Flair: Yes Scott we will find you an opponent for Spring Stampede. But let me stress if a member of the Magnificent Seven wins the tournament, Scott will not have to defend the title at the pay per view. The matches will start next week on Nitro and it will be an eight man tournament.
Flair lifts Sanders up by the collar of his shirt.
Ric Flair: When you challenge the WCW President, the WCW World Heavyweight champion and the elite group that is the Magnificent Seven. You will always come out in second place. Now Sanders get the hell out of my office unless you’ve got anything else to ask me.
Sanders shrugs of Flair.
Mike Sanders: You may think its alright for you to throw your weight around but I’m the commissioner and I also have a group of wrestlers who have more talent are younger and as it stands we hold two belts, compared to the one title belt that the Magnificent Seven hold.
Ric Flair: Are you trying to say something?
Mike Sanders: Not at all. Just simply stating a fact.
Ric Flair: You want to be all smug and cocky well tonight I am going to put you in a match against Road Warrior Animal. Good luck Mike and like I said earlier get the hell out of my office. And oh Mike your up next.
The camera pans to the ring as David Penzer is ready to announce the next contest.

The match never started.
Sanders waves to the back as Chuck Palumbo and Sean O`Haire make there way down the ramp. Palumbo and O`Haire go nose to nose with Flair and Road Warrior Animal. They begin to exchange right hands when Bryan Clarke and Brian Adams run down the apron and enter the fray. But as Adams tags of against Palumbo, Ric Flair jumps Adams. And O`Haire and Road Warrior Animal beat down Bryan Clarke. The four men roll Kronik into the ring and begin a beat down.

Road Warrior Animal lifts the steel chair into the air and waffles both the members of Kronik in the head and on the back. The WCW World Tag Team champions, Sean O`Haire and Chuck Palumbo begin to put the tables up. Road Warrior Animal climbs to the middle rope as the tag team champions lifts Adams up.

Then Mike Sanders and Ric Flair both lift Bryan Clarke onto the other table. Sean O`Haire then climbs to the top rope and hit’s a Seanton bomb of the top rope and drives Bryan Clarke through the table. The five men stand victorious in the ring as they stand over the two beaten bodies of Kronik. Ric Flair reaches for a microphone from someone at ringside.
Ric Flair: When I told the world earlier tonight that a few members on the WCW roster were still causing me problems I wasn’t just saying that, I meant business and whoo I was going to get rid or injure Kronik, Mike Awesome and the Cat tonight in some shape or form. So when my boys, Totally Buff didn’t get the job done earlier tonight I discussed the matter with the WCW Commissioner Mike Sanders. And he kindly recommended we join together to take them out. So Mike I appreciate what you’ve done tonight and I would just like to say that your boys have done well.
Ric Flair reaches his hand out and him and Sanders shake each others hands.
Ric Flair: So as of right now Sanders if I need a favour anytime soon I will come to you and the WCW World Tag Team Champions. Whoo.
Ric Flair, Road Warrior Animal and the Natural Born Thrillers leave the ring together as the EMTs climb into the ring to help Kronik.

The tech guy turns around as Steiner walks right into his face.
Rick Steiner: You seen Buff and Lex?
Tech Guy: Yeah they are in the cafeteria area.
Rick Steiner doesn’t respond but just walks off down the corridor. He gets to a door that reads cafeteria. Steiner reads the sign then opens the door and walks through it. Buff and Luger are sitting at a table both in tracksuits talking quietly.
Rick Steiner: Lex, Buff were you two been? Flairs been wondering why you didn’t go see him after your match.
Lex looks up at Rick.
Lex Luger: Why do we need to explain our actions to you Rick, we are one of the greatest tag teams ever, why should we report back to you or Flair if we want to talk?

Mean Gene Okerlund: Thank you Tony. I am here standing by with the WCW President and the man who is taking on Mike Awesome tonight in our main event, the “Chosen One” Jeff Jarrett. So Jeff are you feeling confident going into tonight’s match?
Jeff Jarrett: Listen up slap nuts, tonight in the main event in front of the WCW fans I am going to prove that not only am I the single greatest wrestler to walk this planet, but I have the biggest and the best faction standing behind me. Mike Awesome listen up slappy, tonight when I get you in the main event, I am going to embarrass you and then ill take your WCW United States Heavyweight title and bring it home to the Magnificent Seven, were it truly belongs.
Mean Gene Okerlund: So Nature Boy are you going to be in the corner of Jeff Jarrett tonight?
Ric Flair: Mean by god Gene, ill be in the corner of the “Chosen One” tonight and so will Scotty Steiner and so will Midajah. Because when Jeff Jarrett is through with him ill stand in the ring over the bloody carcass of Mike Awesome raising the arms of not only the WCW World Heavyweight Champion but of the WCW United States Champion as well.

Lance Storm: If I can be serious for a minute.
The fans boo even louder.
Lance Storm: Tonight I get booked in a match with some Mexican ass hole who cant put two good wrestling holds together. You know I am from Calgary, Alberta Canada and I haven’t got the respect I deserve since I walked in the door since I left ECW. I have had enough of being disrespected in the locker room and being put in matches with people like Konnan. So Konnan get your ass down here so I can beat you all the way back to Mexico. But first, play the national anthem of the greatest country in the world, Canada. All rise for the playing of the Canadian national anthem.
Lance Storm hands the microphone back to Penzer and puts both his hands behind his back as the Canadian national anthem hits.

Commercial break
We come back from the commercial break and we see a recap of Lance Storm defeating Konnan before the break. Then the cameras pan to Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay.
Tony Schiavone: Lance Storm certainly means business at the moment Mike, after defeating Kanyon to earn the shot at the WCW United States Heavyweight title, and then again tonight he has defeated Konnan of the Filthy Animals in a match. Is it only a matter of time before he wins a title in WCW?
Mike Tenay: You’ve got to say Tony, Lance Storm has been very impressive over the last few weeks and by all means he deserves that title shot but the manner in which he is going about his business in WCW is not the way a champion should behave.
Tony Schiavone: Lance Storm will receive his title shot at Spring Stampede and we will find out who he will be facing in several moments. What do you think about this main event match tonight Mike.
Mike Tenay: You’ve got the young and powerful U.S champion on one side of the ring against the experience and the technical abilities of Jeff Jarrett in the other corner. Lets not forget that the Magnificent Seven in one shape or another will be in the corner of Jeff Jarrett tonight.
Tony Schiavone: But Mike Awesome isn’t a champion for nothing he’s there because he’s climbed up the ladder of WCW and defeated some tough challengers as U.S champion. But tonight’s match against Jeff Jarrett is without a doubt his toughest opponent yet. Lets go to David Penzer who is ready to introduce our main event of WCW Monday Nitro.
The camera pans to David Penzer who is standing in the ring with referee Billy Silverman.

He then turns and stares into the eyes of Jeff Jarrett. He passes Billy Silverman the belt and Silverman tells the timekeeper to ring the bell.
