WCW Monday Nitro (April 24, 2006)

WCW (Fantasy) Monday Nitro
April 24, 2006
Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore Arena

Disclaimer: It's not real - it's just fantasy! Too bad because it rocks!

We open the show with Tony Schiavone, Mark Madden and Dutch Mantell at ringside as they welcome us to WCW Monday Nitro.

Music hits and here comes Hulk Hogan to the ring to open the show. He's got the mic and he's pissed off. Two weeks ago, Jeff Jarrett stole his title shot against Harley Race by busting him open with a guitar shot. Hogan wants Jarrett.... now.

Jarrett comes down and tells Hulk that he'd better shut up before he "pisses me off!" Jarrett wants a rematch against the WCW World Champion Harley Race tonight. He had him beat last week and Race had to cheat to keep the title. Jarrett is the man with the stroke and he wants his rematch.

Harley Race comes out on the ramp. Jarrett is a whiney little punk and he'd better get used to it. Race beat him last week and if they wrestle again, Race will beat him again.

Hogan steps up and says that Race should put the title up against him tonight. Race just smirks and says that he remembers a few months ago that he beat Hogan and retired him. Hogan used legal technicalities to return to wrestling, but Race beat him once and will do it again.

Jarrett interupts and says that he hates to break up the "old-timers league" but he wants his title shot now. And no one - not "Slappy Hoganwitz" or "Grandpa Time" or anyone else, is going to stop him.
Sirens blare and here comes "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner. All this talk about titles has made him wonder when he's getting his shot at the WCW World Championship. After all, he's got the largest arms in the worlds and all the freaks behind him.

Here comes Eric Bischoff - the owner of WCW. He says that since everyone is wanting to fight tonight, he's going to let them fight.... in a tag match. Tonight in the main event, it's Hulk Hogan & Harley Race versus Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner. As for Harley's next title defense, Eric will make that decision later and announce it next week, But this match will greatly affect his decision. Eric walks to the back and we see all four wrestlers eyeing each other and talking trash as we go to commercial.

We go to David Penzer at ringside who introduces the first match...

"PRIMETIME" ELIX SKIPPER versus DISCO INFERNO

Disco is the first one down and he tells Skipper to wait outside the ring while he gives the fans what they really want - a chance to see the Disco Inferno dance. As Disco "shakes his booty", Skipper comes into the ring and nails Disco with a dropkick. And it's on in a great opening contest that has both men trading moves and attempting to dominate the other. In the end, Disco manages to catch Skipper with the "Broken Record", but rather than cover, he goes to the second rope to dance for the fans. As he finishes dancing, he turns around and walks right into an enzaguri by Skipper. Skipper covers and gets the pin.

Winner: "PRIMETIME" ELIX SKIPPER

Skipper celebrates his win as we go backstage. We see "The Black Nature Boy" Scoot Andrews standing by with Terri Runnels. Tonight, he's challenged Cactus Jack to a match. Two weeks ago, Cactus attacked him for no reason. We go to video and see two weeks ago as Cactus Jack attacks the trio of Colt Cabana, Mike Youngblood and Ethan Storm for no reason. Then we cut to later in the show and see Cactus attack Andrews backstage as well. We go back to Scoot and Terri and Scoot says that others may be OK with being beat up for no reason, but he's not. He asked for this match to show Cactus Jack that "The Black Nature Boy" doesn't back down from anyone.

We see Mike Youngblood, Colt Cabana & Ethan Storm walk into the picture. They've been talking it over and if Scoot wants it, they have his back tonight. Scoot breathes a sigh of relief and smiles broadly as he proclaims that later tonight, "Cactus is going to get his!"..

We cut to a commercial.

We come back and see a promo video: Coming soon to WCW - "Your New Addiction" Krazy- K...
We cut backstage and see Soce the Elemental Wizard with Rico, Tank Abbott & Hugh Morrus. They're standing by with Rich Landrum. Soce plugs his newest CD, "The Lemonade Incident" and his MySpace site (www.myspace.com/soce). Rich asks about Rico's match later tonight against the WCW Cruiserweight Champion Jeff Hardy. Soce says it's just the start. Tonight is a non-title match because Hardy is "scared of Rico" but after Rico pins Jeff, the various champions here in WCW will realize that Rico is "all man" and ready to wear championship gold.

Rich changes the subject to Spring Stampede. It'll be Tank Abbott & Hugh Morus defending the WCW World Tag Team Titles against The Triad. But recently, it seems as if The Triad and The Elementals have been working together against Kronik. So what's up? Morrus answers this. On some occasions, the Triad have had the same agenda as he, Tank & Soce. Then, they work together to accomplish their goal. It's strictly business. But at the PPV, if the Triad think they can take the WCW Tag Titles from Morrus and Tank, they have another thing coming. Abbott adds that "we respect them and we might party with the Triad, but when the belts are up, we'll still beat their ass!" Soce looks at Landrum and asks, "Any more questions, big boy?" Landrum is speechless as Soce, Rico and the Tag Team Champs walk off..
We go back to the ring as David Penzer makes the introductions for the next match.

CACTUS JACK versus "THE BLACK NATURE BOY" SCOOT ANDREWS

Suprisingly, Scoot comes down to the ring by himself. He's cocky and all smiles as he gets into the ring. But the smile quickly turns into a frown as Cactus Jack charges the ring and immediately goes after Scoot with fists and forearms. Scoot manages to rip at the eyes and fight back with a big slam and an elbow for two. Scoot stomps away at Cactus and then does a little strut across the ring. Cactus starts shreiking like a madman and attacks Scoot again and pounds away before tossing him into the corner and tying him to the "Tree of Woe". Running knee by Cactus and then a diving elbow. All of a sudden, we see Ethan Storm and Mike Youngblood hit the ring, followed closely by Colt Cabana who has a chair. The three men attack Cactus and although he tries to fight them off, he is soon overwhelmed by the numbers. The referee calls for the bell and the DQ.

Winner by DQ: CACTUS JACK

Scoot has recovered and joins the attack and we see a vicious beatdown on Cactus that leaves him bloody and senseless at the hands of the four enraged men. Finally, we see referees and WCW officials hit the ring and clear out the attackers as we cut to a commercial.

We come back and see backstage as Cactus is being loaded into an ambulance. We see Colt, Youngblood, Storm and Scoot all laughing and enjoying their handiwork. Eric Bischoff approaches the four men and asks if they're proud of themselves? Well, he has news for them. As he was being loaded into the ambulance, Cactus Jack asked for a match at Spring Stampede. And Eric has agreed. At Spring Stampede, we're going to have a handicap match. It's Colt Cabana, Mike Youngblood, Ethan Storm and Scoot Andrews versus Cactus Jack... and the partner of his choice. Oh yeah, and it's Hardcore.... Eric walks off as we see the smiles quickly fade from the faces of the four young superstars.

We go back to the ring and "Above Average" Mike Sanders is in the ring. He's sick and tired of all these "so-called legends" trying to steal his thunder. We go back two weeks ago and see Sanders have his butt handed to him by the WCW Hall of Fame Class of 2006. We come back and Sanders is irate at seeing the video that was just shown. He hates "legends". He's in a bad mood and that means that some so-called legend is going to be "S.O.L, and we all know what that means!" Sanders demands that his opponent for the night get their "wrinkled old ass to the ring!"

Penzer gets on the mic for the introductions.

"ABOVE AVERAGE" MIKE SANDERS versus GREG "THE HAMMER" VALENTINE

Sanders attacks Valentine as he enters the ring and quickly takes control, but he can't seem to keep Greg down. Valentine fights back with stiff chops and hard forearms to Sanders. Sanders whips Valentine into the corner and charges in, but we see Greg move and Sanders knee crashes hard into the corner. Valentine seizes upon the injured knee and quickly locks in the figure-four leglock. Sanders tries to make the ropes and fight it, but eventually, we see him tap.

Winner: GREG "THE HAMMER" VALENTINE

Video promo airrs - Coming on May 7,2006 - it's WCW SPRING STAMPEDE - exclusively on PPV....
We come back and Missy Hyatt is backstage to interview Rena "Sable" Mero. Missy asks Sable about her upcoming match at Spring Stampede where she has a chance to make history. For the first time ever, it's a "Ladder Match" for the WCW Women's Championship with Sable going after the WCW Women's Champion Lisa "Ivory" Moretti and Luna Vachon. What are her thoughts?

Sable talks about the significance of being in a ladder match and how she's used to making history. She vows to beat both Ivory and Luna and capture the Women's Championship. Sable turns and notices that Missy has been smiling as she was talking. "What are you smiling at, bitch?", Sable asks. Missy just laughs and says that the thought of Sable thinking she stands a chance against both Ivory and Luna is funny. Ivory and Luna are both great lady wrestlers. Sable is just a skank whore. Sable lunges at Missy, grabbing her and we have a CATFIGHT! Officials quickly rush in and seperate the two wild women.
We go back to ringside where David Penzer introduces the next match..

JEFF HARDY versus RICO (with Soce the Elemental Wizard)

Jeff immediately goes after Rico as he enters the ring and pounds away. Rico fights back and catches Jeff with a thrust kick to the chops and scores with a fisherman's suplex for two. Fists by Rico as he pushes Jeff into the ropes. As the ref backs Rico away, we see Soce get a quick slap in from the outside. Rico resumes the attack, but misses a clothesline. Hardy uses a flying forearm to send Rico to the floor. As Soce tries to help his man up, we see Jeff roll to the outside of the ring and do the running along the fan barrier and dive on top of Rico and Soce. All three men go sprawling. Rico is the first up and puts Jeff back into the ring. Rico goes for a neckbreaker, but Jeff reverses and scores with the twist-of-fate. Jeff covers and we see Soce climb on the apron. Jeff goes after Soce who quickly drops to the floor to get away from the walking Skittle. Rico goes for a kick and tries to take out Hardy, but Jeff hits the side-effect and covers to get the pin.
Winner: JEFF HARDY

We see Soce and Rico argue and complain to the referee as we go to commercial.

We come back and Schiavone announces that later tonight, it will be Missy Hyatt taking on Rena Mero. Here comes Kevin Nash & Scott Hall - the Outsiders, to the ring. Scott gets the mic first. "Hey yo!" He talks about losing the TV title to Marty Jannetty last week. "Good match, chico!" But Scott says that he'll get his belt back in due time. And a little word to his old buddy, Snake! Hall don't play the politics. Hall helped you get a job and you screwed yourself up! Don't blame Scott for the pink slip. "Just look in the mirror for the reason why!"

Nash gets the mic and he's more point blank and blunt. "It looks as if we got under the skin of someone up North with my little parody last week. He's filming skits and videos like a man obsessed. And might I say (looking to Tony Schiavone & Mark Madden at ringside) - they really didn't do you justice." Nash goes on to say that "we were just having some fun" and people need to "get over it!" Changing subjects, Nash talks about Sean O'Haire. Last week on Nitro, O'Haire decided to crash the party and ruin the fun. That's OK. The Outsider's have been known to crash a party or two themselves in the past. So later tonght, it's Hall & Nash - together again - versus O'Haire and Charlie Haas. And Nash closes by reminding the Horsemen that payback "can be a bitch!"

(commercial)

We come back and see Sean O'Haire, Charlie Haas, Arn Anderson, Miss Jackie & Woman standing by with Rich Landrum. O'Haire speaks first. Kevin Nash is a cry-baby. Sean beat him up last week and now poor little Kevin has to go get his buddy to fight for him. Boo-hoo! O'Haire wants the WCW World Championship back and it doesn't matter if he has to beat Kevin Nash, Scott Hall or anyone else. Nash can get his friends because Sean has the Horsemen to back him up!

Haas is next and he agrees! The Outsiders aren't that big or bad! They're not the Horsemen! They're just a couple of jackasses! Arn speaks next. Two points to make. Marty Jannetty is the new WCW World TV Champion. Congratulations to him. But that belt and Arn Anderson have a long history together. And Arn wants it back. So Jannetty had better be ready to fight like his life depends on it... because it does! Point two: The Horsemen are a tight and cohesive unit because we're the best in the world. But something has been missing. Well, it's not missing anymore. The Horsemen have decided to solidify their place at the top of WCW. Landrum asks for details to find out what Arn means. Arn tells Landrum that he'll find out when everyone else does.

We go back to the ring and here comes Lisa "Ivory" Moretti to the ring. She joins Schiavone and company at ringside to help commentate and announce the next match.

We go to David Penzer for the next match...

RENA "SABLE" MERO versus MISSY HYATT

Forget about wrestling. It's just two mad women grabbing and clawing and rolling around with each other. Missy manages to get on top of Sable and pounds away. Suplex by Missy and she whips Sable into the ropes, but misses a dropkick as Sable holds on to the ropes. Sable moves in quickly and applies the "Sable Bomb" to get a pin.

Winner: RENA "SABLE" MERO

Sable stands over Missy and keeps slapping and kicking at her even though the match is over. Finally at ringside, Ivory has has enough and charges into the ring and attacks Sable, knocking her to the floor as Missy rolls to the outside as well. As Ivory and Sable talk trash to each other, we see Luna come through the crowd and attack Ivory from behind. Sable gets back in the ring and we see Luna & Sable working together to double-team Ivory. Missy Hyatt has managed to pull herself together on the floor and grabs a chair and clears the ring of Luna & Sable. As Missy checks on Ivory, we go to commercial...

(commerical)

We come back and here comes Eric Bischoff to the ring. He's all smiles as he gets the mic. He has several big announcements to make. First of all, he's a busy man. So that means that he won't always have time to be at every WCW event to keep law and order. So he's decided to appoint a new "Executive Director" for WCW. This man will be answerable only to him. And the new Executive Director of WCW is....

Here comes Don Callis aka "Cyrus" to the ring from the back. He's Eric's new "right hand man" and will take care of the small stuff so Eric doesn't have to bother. Eric and Cyrus embrace in the middle of the ring and Eric tells Cyrus that he's leaving and taking the rest of the night off. He's leaving the show in Cyrus's hands and is going to let Cyrus make the next two big announcements. Eric & Cyrus shake hands again and Eric heads to the back.

Cyrus has the mic. He has two big announcements to make. First of all, coming on May 24th is the return of an old WCW staple - the Clash of the Champions. That's big news. And now, Cyrus has even bigger news. At Spring Stampede, former WCW Champion Bill Goldberg will be returning to the ring and WCW. But they have yet to decide who will be Goldberg's opponent..... until now! At Spring Stampede, it will be Bill Goldberg versus....

"If you smell what the Rock is cooking....." The sold-out arena erupts as The Rock enters the arena and makes his way to the ring. He comes to the ring and asks Cyrus "Who in the blue hell... are you?" Cyrus is speechless and starts to argue, but Rock stops him. He knows who Cyrus is and why he's there. But the Rock has something to say too. At Spring Stampede, it will be "The Great One" versus Bill Goldberg..

Cyrus interupts... It will NOT be The Rock versus anyone at Spring Stampede. Eric Bischoff and Cyrus have already determined who will wrestle Goldberg at the PPV. Rock isn't happy and wants to know what jabroni they're talking about. Here comes Brock Lesnar out and down the ramp. They're talking about him, "The Next Big Thing", Brock Lesnar. He's wrestling Goldberg at the PPV. They have some unfinished business to take care of. Rock watches Brock come to the ring and asks "Didn't I just beat your ass as Slamboree?" Brock turns red and claims that Rock was "just damn lucky" but he'd never be able to do it again. Rock threatens to take Brock's "stupid little grin that looks like he's been sucking on a monkey's nipple" and shove it "straight up your candy ass!"

Cyrus decides to get involved before it gets violent. How about this! Next week on Nitro, it's The Rock versus Brock Lesnar.... and the winner faces Bill Goldberg at Spring Stampede? Both men agree as they go nose to nose and talk trash. They start to leave, but Rock offers Brock a handshake. Brock talks trash and is reluctant, but Rock turns on the smile and says to "be a sport, sport!" Brock finally takes the bait and puts his hand out to shake. The Rock grabs Brock and quickly plants him with a "Rock Bottom".. We hear the Rock's music play as he rolls out of the ring and we cut to commericial..

We come back and see another, different promo video - coming soon to World Championship Wrestling - "Your New Addiction" Krazy K...

Back to Penzer for the next match...

KEVIN NASH & SCOTT HALL - THE OUTSIDERS versus SEAN O'HAIRE & CHARLIE HAAS (with Miss Jackie) - THE HORSEMEN

Big brawl as all four men immediately go at each other and tear into each other with fists and kicks. Haas & O'Haire manage to get the advantage over Nash with some nasty double-teaming in their corner. Kevin fights back and manages to make the hot tag to Hall who cleans house on the Horsemen with clotheslines and big slams. More brawling as all four men get involved in the action. It finally looks as if Hall & Nash have matters under control as we see Haas tossed to the floor. We see Jackie waving to the back and here comes C.W. Anderson from out of nowhere to the ring. Schiavone is screaming at the announce table to put over the shock of this new wrestler to WCW. The referee calls for the bell for outside interference.
WInners by DQ: THE OUTSIDERS

We see Anderson, O'Haire & Haas triple team the Outsiders and put a major beatdown on the fallen Hall & Nash. They finally clear the ring as officials and referees come down to restore order and tend to Nash & Hall....

We go backstage and Terri Runnels is standing by with the new WCW World Television Champion Marty Jannetty. He's defending the title against Arn Anderson tonight. What are his thoughts? Marty is optomistic as he puts over how tough Arn is, but he's pretty tough himself. He beat Scott Hall last week to win the title and he has no plans to give it up this soon. Marty tells Arn to bring everything you've got, because I'm ready for it... and I'm keeping this title.

(commercial)

We see Arn Anderson and Woman congratulating Sean O'Haire, Charlie Haas and the newest member of the Horsemen, C.W. Anderson, in the back on a job well done. Arn tells the others to go get the limo ready and get ready to party. He'll be back as soon as he takes care of Jannetty. We see Arn and Woman head to the ring...

Back to Penzer...

WCW WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
MARTY JANNETTY (c) versus ARN ANDERSON (with Woman)

A classic match with Arn focusing on the left arm of Jannetty in typical Anderson-style. Jannetty fights back and scores with a great dropkick and then goes to work on the surgically-reparied neck of Arn Anderson. Jannetty is in charge, but misses a clothesline after being distracted by Woman grabbing at his foot. Arn capitalizes on the distraction with a huge spinebuster. Two count as Arn covers, but Jannetty barely gets a shoulder up. More control by Arn as he goes back to the arm and also starts to work on the neck as well. Arn goes for the DDT, but we see Marty grab hold of the top rope and Arn crash and burns. Jannetty rolls Arn up with a cradle for two. We see both men exchange fists and Arn scores with a backdrop. Arn misses a clothesline and we see Jannetty with a cradle to get the quick pin.

Winner and still champion: MARTY JANNETTY

We see Harley Race and Hulk Hogan backstage. Race tells Hogan that "I don't like you, but we're partners tonight! Can I trust you?" Hogan calls Race a "sorry S.O.B.", but say that for tonight, he's got his back, bruthuh! But only for tonight. Race says that's all he asks! But if Hogan tries anything funny, he'll learn just how dangerous Race can be. Hogan doesn't look too impressed, but repeats that "I've got your back, bruthuh!" The two men start to go to the ring.

(commerical)

Back to Penzer to introduce the main event...

HULK HOGAN & HARLEY RACE versus JEFF JARRETT & SCOTT STEINER

Race and Jarrett start off by trading shoves and then suplexes. Race uses the left to flatten Jarrett and goes to tag Hogan who is out of position and accidentially misses the tag as Steiner comes in and goes after Race. We see Jeff and Steiner double-teaming Race as Hogan hollers and keeps reaching for the tag. Race manages to fight back and hot-shots Steiner on the top rope. Race leaps to the corner to tag Hogan who pulls his arm back at the last second and misses the tag again. Jarrett nails Race from behind and moves Race back to his corner where we see more double-teaming by Steiner and Jarrett. After taking a vicious beating, we see Race use a low blow to send Steiner sprawling to the floor. A vicious suplex sends Jarrett out to the floor and Harley manages to get to his corner and slaps the taste out of Hogan's mouth. The referee rules this a tag as Race grabs Hogan by the neck and jerks him into the ring. Jarrett and Steiner are back up and nail Race from behind. Hogan drops and rolls to the floor and starts to go up the ramp, waving "bye bye" to Race as he's being worked over by Jarrett and Steiner. In the ring, Jarrett hits "The Stroke" on Race and he's down. Jarrett covers and the ref counts three.

Winners: JEFF JARRETT & SCOTT STEINER

As Jarrett and Steiner celebrate their win, we see a close up of the face of Harley Race as he glares at a smirking Hulk Hogan on the ramp by the backstage entrance. We can see Harley muttering as we fade to black.

THE END!
