This looks like a nice encounter between two powerf- oh wait. Giant wins with a chokeslam.
Winner, and STILL WCW World Heavyweight Champion: The Giant
Less than thirty seconds. SQUASH.
Norton comes out, has a few words with Giant… and Giant chokeslams him twice. He then goes over Mean Gene, says he doesn’t understand why there are so many Hogan video packages. He wasn’t champion! He then cuts a quick promo on Luger
Match Eight: Scott Norton vs. Hugh Morrus
What you’d expect: Hugh Morrus comes down, get the quick pin, and that’s it.
What really happened: Hugh Morrus comes down, taunts Norton, hit’s a few elbows, goes for a sommersault, Norton blocks it, and gets the pin.
Winner by pinfall: Scott Norton
Man, who did Hugh Morrus piss off? N/R
We get another video package of Mongo and Kevin Greene. I guess they’re training in the ring now. After a few seconds of them in the ring, we go over to a dry erase board with a ring drawn on it. Greene’s munching on a Slim Jim as Mongo discusses how to beat Flair and Anderson. It basically boils down to the fact that they try to come up with a gameplan using football. Eventually, they realize they’ll need a coach. Who do they think of? Both stare at the Slim Jim and think of… THIS GUY!
Er.. Wait no. Not him. The other guy who promoted Slim Jims…
OH YEAH! Slim Jims save the day once again!
Main Event:The Steiner Brothers vs. Sting and Luger© for the WCW World Tag Team Championships
At the start of the match, we get a split screen of the action and Bischoff/Heenan on the phone with Macho Man. He says he can’t compete, but can coach, and will do it for Greene and McMichael.
These two teams compete for several minutes, however the Giant comes out, chokeslams Rick Steiner, goes into the ring, and dukes it out with Luger. Sting and Scott Steiner eventually get in the ring and help take down the Giant. They knock him out of the ring, and he retreats.
No Contest:
It was a good match while it lasted. They should‘ve gotten more time. **¾.
We go to the announce booth. Heenan pleads with Savage not to coach Greene and Mongo when all of a sudden we get a cut to that certain individual, and he’s making his way to the announce booth. Heenan bolts. He grabs a mic, and says that he had such a good time last week, that he came back for more. He says that Bischoff started a war, and that we are going to finish it. When Bischoff asks who is we, he just states that you know who.
Sting shows up now, and Bischoff tries to tell him not to worry about it, but Sting and this individual exchange some words. Sting says he wants to go at it ‘right here, right now.’ He only states they’ll go when he wants, then he throws a toothpick at Sting. Sting responds by slapping him. He promises that next week, he has a ‘little - no, BIG surprise.’ With that, we end Nitro.
Yet another average Nitro. Arguably the last five minutes of the show were the best part. Lots of squash matches, but one or two good matches as well. I’ll go with 6/10 here.
TV Rating: 3. Raw has scored a 2.3 three weeks running, too. I wonder what it is next week…
