Lots of pyro and explosions as Tony Schiavone & "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko welcome us to WCW Monday Nitro!  It's another sold-out show and there's lots happening tonight!  The first round of the WCW World TV Title Tournament continues with four more great matches.  Plus, in the main event, "The Total Package" Lex Luger returns to the ring as he teams with Hulk Hogan to take on Booker T and "The Giant" Paul Wight!  Plus, Ernest "The Cat" Miller returns to WCW tonight!  And so much more!  It's the kind of exciting and packed supercard that you can only find right here in WCW. 

 

Music hits and we see Brock Lesnar and Sable coming to the ring.  Brock gets the mic.  Last week on Nitro, Brock had a shot at the WCW World Championship - the biggest prize in wrestling.. and he blew it!  No, he didn't blow it!  Luna Vachon and Gangrel blew it for him and Brock's not a happy camper.  Gangrel wants to play games.  That's OK.  If the "blood bath" that Brock received last week was the best Gangrel can do, he's in for a world of hurt at the Beach Blast PPV.  Brock has been talking to the boss, Eric Bischoff... and it's Brock versus Gangrel in a "First Blood Match" at the PPV...  And Brock vows he won't stop until Gangrel is a bloody and helpless mess.  Brock passes the mic to Sable...  Sable rants about Luna and how Luna Vachon has been a pain to her for years.  But it all ends on July 9th in the first ever "Diva Street Fight".  Sable vows to out-crazy Luna and make her wish she had never heard the name "Sable"..

 

We hear voices and see Luna & Gangrel on the Nitrotron.  Gangrel says that he likes the idea of spilling Brock's blood all over the arena.  The way to win at the PPV is to make Brock bleed - well, Brock had better be prepared to bleed buckets because Gangrel vows it's going to happen.  Luna shreiks into a mic and calls Sable a "skanky piece of used trash" and reminds Sable that a street fight is just that - no rules.  No one will be able to protect her  or save her from the wrath of Luna. 

 

Brock and Sable are listening to this and don't look too impressed.  Sable gets the mic again in the ring.  "Is that it?  Is that all you got? Just a bunch of empty threats and promises?"  Luna and Gangrel look at each other and Gangrel smiles, baring his fangs, as Luna screeches "Look up!"...  Sable and Brock look at each other and then glance up as blood pours down from the ceiling - Sable and Brock are drenched in blood - it's another bloodbath courtesy of Gangrel & Luna.  Brock is angry and Sable is complaining to Brock as we see Luna & Gangrel laughing as we go to commercial..

A video promo airs - returning to WCW tonight - Ernest "The Cat" Miller...

 

We go back to Schiavone and Zbyszko at ringside.  We see the ring crew working to quickly clean up the mess from the "Blood Bath".  We see a replay of Sable and Brock getting drenched as Zbyszko & Schiavone speculate what's going to happen next. 

 

We hear the words "Self High Five" echo throughout the arena and here comes Diamond Dallas Page to ringside.  He's decided that listening to Zbyszko and Schiavone sucks, so he's going to help them out on commentary for a while.  Tony & Larry welcome DDP to the announce position. 

 

We then cut backstage where Terri Runnels is standing by with the WCW Womens Champion, Lisa "Ivory" Moretti.  Terri asks Ivory how it feels to once again be the Womens Champion. Ivory is all perky as she talks about how great it is to have gold once again.  Terri then asks Ivory about her role in helping Juventud Guerrera defeat Jeff Hardy last week on Nitro to become the WCW Cruiserweight Champion.  We see video footage of Ivory slamming a chair across the head of Jeff Hardy while Juvi distracts the referee.  Ivory then rolls Hardy back into the ring where he's easy pickings for Juvi to defeat and become the Cruiserweight Champion.  Ivory doesn't like what she just saw and wants to know who Terri thinks she is, showing that footage and trying to stir up trouble.  Terri says she's just doing her job.  Juvi steps into the picture and asks Ivory what's going on.  Ivory tells Juvi that Terri is trying to start trouble by claming that Juvi doesn't deserve to be the Cruiserweight Champion.  Terri looks shocked and says that she never said that!  Juvi gets in Terri's face and tells her that she's lucky she's a woman or else he would cut loose on her with "The Juice"...Ivory says that Terri's not lucky after all, because she is a woman and later tonight, she's going to face Ivory in the ring.  Terri is speechless, not knowing what to say.  We see Ivory haul off and slap Terri across the face before taking Juvi by the arm, and walking off laughing.  Terri stands there, holding her sore face.  We can see the imprint of Ivory's hand as we go to commercial..

We go to the ring and announcer David Penzer

 

CHRIS CHETTI & SHAWN STASIAK w/ Christy Hemme

versus

EVAN KARAGIAS & "PRIMETIME" ELIX SKIPPER w/ Jimmy "The Boogie Woogie Man" Valiant

 

Chetti , Stasiak & Hemme are all wearing matching outfits as they come to the ring to a mixed reaction.  The crowd comes alive as "Boy From New York City" echoes through the arena and the Boogie-Woogie Man leads Elix Skipper & Evan Karagias to the ring.  A pretty average match, but the crowd was into every move as Chetti & Stasiak spent a lot of time double-teaming Karagias and working him over in their corner. Skipper gets tagged in and cleans house with a series of high-flying moves and kicks that send both Stasiak & Chetti to the floor.  Skipper flies with a suicide dive and catches both Chetti & Stasiak hard on the outside.  Valiant rolls Chetti into the ring and Karagias flies off the top with a frogsplash.  But Hemme has the referee, Parker Paige, distracted and he's slow to make the count.  Karagias gets two.  We see Valiant go argue with Hemme on the floor and Christy slaps Valiant across the face.  Valiant grabs Hemme and gives her a big kiss.  The referee comes down to seperate Valiant and Hemme, who appears to be liking the kiss.  In the ring, we see Stasiak slip up behind Karagias and nail him with a low blow.  Evan is down and Chetti makes the cover.  Stasiak stops Skipper from breaking up the pin as referee Paige slides in and makes the three count.

Winners:  CHETTI & STASIAK w/ Hemme - "HOT STUFF"

We go backstage and see Eric Angle, along with Marty Jannetty complaining to Eric Bischoff.  Last week, Eric had Rico beat in the TV title tournament, but Soce interfered and kissed him. What is Bischoff going to do about that?  Bischoff wants to know what Angle wants him to do - ban kissing?  Angle wants Eric to do something because it's not fair or right!  Bischoff asks Angle would he be complaining if it had been someone like Dawn Marie or Christy Hemme kissing him?  "No, of course not!", Angle says.  Bischoff tells Angle there's nothing he can do then.  Bischoff doesn't want any lawsuits for discrimination against him or his company, so Angle needs to quit complaining.  Angle asks for a rematch against Rico and Bischoff says "No!"  Angle asks for a match against Soce, but Bischoff reminds him that Soce isn't a wrestler.  Angle asks what he's supposed to do then if Soce tries to kiss him again.  Bischoff just laughs and says "pucker up!"...

 

Back to Dave Penzer for the next match....

 

WCW WORLD TELEVISION CHAMIONSHIP TOURNAMENT - ROUND 1

ETHAN STORM versus "DIRTY" DOUG GILBERT w/ Wildfire Tommy Rich

 

A rather short match as Storm uses his dirty tricks to take the early advantage and pounds away at Gilbert in the corner.  Rich distracts the referee and Gilbert manages to hot-shot Storm across the top-rope for two.  Gilbert keeps control with a suplex for two.  Storm fights back and catches Gilbert with a series of clotheslines.  DDT by Storm and he goes for the pin, but Rich places Gilbert's leg on the ropes.  Storm goes outside the ring to confront Rich, but Gilbert is down and slams Storm into the ringpost.  Gilbert rolls Storm back into the ring and covers to get the pin.

Winner:  DOUG GILBERT w/ Tommy Rich

Here comes "The Total Package" Lex Luger to the ring.  Last week, he left his role at the announce table and took a stand by getting into the ring and agreeing to be Hulk Hogan's partner for tonight against The Giant & Booker T.  Lex admits he doesn't have any great love for Hogan, but when Booker and the Giant started picking on a 16 year old kid, they crossed the line.  Lex assures Hogan that he will stand by him tonight and they will make Giant and Booker pay for what they've tried to do to Nick Hogan.  And if Joel Gertner wants to stick his nose in the match, Lex promises that there is a torture rack in his future as well. 

 

Here comes "The Giant" Paul Wight and Joel Gertner to the ring.  Gertner is obnoxious and starts a "Well, well, well!" rant, but the Giant cuts him off.  He wants to talk to Lex.  Giant reminds Lex of the many trips that they rode together, along with Sting.  They haven't always been friends, but they've always had a respect for each other. But why is Lex siding with Hogan?  Hogan screwed over Luger just like he screws over everyone - Hogan cares only about Hogan.  Lex needs to come join Wight, Booker and Gertner as allies of Eric Bischoff.  Come to the money - the prestige - the titles.. Forget about doing "the right thing".... do the "right thing for Lex"...

 

Lex admits that Hogan may have used the politics to hold him back, but Giant and the others crossed the line when they put their hands on the kid, Nick.  Giant reminds Luger that no one has actually hurt Nick... yet!  And what kind of father would bring his 16 year old son to ringside?  If Nick does end up getting hurt, it's Hogan's fault for placing him in danger in the first place.  Lex starts to respond, but Giant cuts him off.  Out of respect, Giant is offering Lex a role - a place.  He has a choice - stand with Hogan or join his friends.  What can Hogan offer Lex now?  But think about what Bischoff can offer?  Giant tells Lex to think about it and rolls out the ring, heading towards the back.  Lex watches them leave as we go to commercial.

We come back and Bob Caudle is backstage with Tully Blancard, WCW World Champion Sean O'Haire, Charlie Haas, C.W. Anderson and Dawn Marie - The Horsemen..  Caudle welcomes Tully back to WCW and asks what his role will be with the new Horsemen.  Tully says that he's only back temporarily as a favor to Arn, but once a Horseman, always a Horseman. O'Haire is the new leader - and the World Champion.  Tully's role will be more of an "advisor" than anything else.  But at the PPV, Beach Blast, it's two of the Horsemen versus Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner in a steel cage. Tully will try to be unbiased, but Jarrett injured two friends of his in Woman and Arn Anderson.  So Tully is making no promises.  Caudle asks about the presence of the other guest referee, Scott Hall.  Tully says that Hall has no part in this situation between Jarrett and the Horsemen, so the best thing he can do is just stand back and stay out of the way or he might end up getting hurt in the crossfire. 

 

O'Haire steps up and mentions how the Horsemen have the best of everything - the veteran in Tully, the science of Haas, the power of C.W. Anderson, the brains and beauty of Dawn Marie and of course, the WCW World Championship, held by him.  They've taken a few lumps, but the Horsemen have always been about overcoming the odds and everything thrown at them and giving it back ten-fold!  Jarrett and Steiner have inflicted some serious shots with the attacks on Arn and Woman, but it didn't kill the Horsemen - it just made them stronger and more determined to end the blemish that is Jeff Jarrett once and for all.  Caudle asks O'Haire if he will be wrestling at the PPV, defending the World Championship?  O'Haire says that as soon as Bischoff names a top contender, O'Haire will take them, face them, and beat them - and keep his title.  And it doesn't matter who it is because O'Haire is a fighting champion.  All of the Horsemen flash the "4 Fingers" sign.

 

We cut to a video promo - coming on July 9th on PPV - it's WCW Beach Blast!

WCW WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT - ROUND 1

THE STRO' versus RENE DUPREE

 

Another fast paced match that keeps the crowd interested.  Dupree manages to get the advantage with a karate thrust to the throat, but neglects to follow up, prefering to do the "French Tickler" to incite the crowd.  Stro' with a roll-up for two.  Stro is coming back and catches Dupree with a jawbreaker for another two.  Slam and Stro' goes up to the top.  Dupree shoves the referee, Brent Robinson, into the ropes and causes Stro to lose his balance and straddle the corner.  Dupree in quickly with a hurracarrana and the pin, using a foot on the ropes for leverage.

Winner:  RENE DUPREE

Backstage again as Bob Caudle is with Barry Windham.  Barry talks about the TV title tournament.  Barry says that he's been laying low for a while and just watching things happen, but he's ready to get back into the title mix.  And a great place to start is the WCW World TV title - a title Windham hasn't held since 1992 when he defeated the legendary Steve Austin.  That was the start of a big period in his life that was full of money, titles, and good times.  And now, he's ready to do it all over again.  Here is Buff Bagwell stepping into the picture, along with April Hunter on his arm.   What Windham is talking about is all well and good, but Barry needs to quit dreaming.  In order to become the TV Champion, Windham has to get to the finals.  But he's facing Buff tonight in the first round.  So the dream stops here.  Barry says that he knows who he's facing and that doesn't change a thing.  Windham is going to be the champion.  Buff says that Barry is no "Buff" and he doesn't have the "stuff".  April acts coy as she gets on the mic and says that "no one has stuff like Buff!".. Windham just smiles and tells Buff to bring his "stuff" to the ring and they'll find out.  WIndham looks at April, and says that she can come to ringside and see what a real man is like....  Windham walks off as Buff and April watch.

Back to David Penzer at ringside for the nexy match..

 

WCW WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP

IVORY (c) w/ Juventud Guerrera versus TERRI RUNNELS

 

Ivory and Juvi come to ringside together and embrace as the crowd boos.  Juvi is carrying a bottle of tequilia and looks like he just came from a party somewhere.  Terri jumps Ivory at the bell and quickly takes her down, pounding away.  Ivory catches Terri with a kick to the stomach and a DDT.  Slaps by Ivory and a big slam.  She then tosses Terri to the floor where Juvi is waiting.  Juvi picks up Terri and holds his Cruiserweight Championship title in her face, proclaiming that he's the champion.  Juvi calls Terri a "whore" and rolls her back into the ring where Ivory is waiting.  Bulldog by Ivory and the pin.

WINNER and still WCW Womens Champion:  IVORY

 

Ivory and Juvi are still in the ring and pose together, holding their title belts high in the air for all to see. Juvi picks up Terri and holds her as Ivory verbally berates the announcer by calling her names and slapping her repeatedly in the face.  The crowd erupts as Jeff Hardy comes running down to the ring.  Ivory and Juvi see him coming and shove Terri to the mat before rolling to the floor on the outside. Jeff checks on Terri as he trades dirty looks with Juvi and Ivory...

 

We go backstage and see Tully Blancard in the dining area getting a cup of coffee.  He hears a voice from behind... "Hey yo!".. It's Scott Hall.  Hall tells Tully that he heard what he said earlier about being caught in the crossfire.  Scott tells Tully that he didn't ask for the referee's job at Beach Blast and could care less if the Horsemen and Jarrett & Steiner kill each other.  But don't expect him to stand back and wait for someone to take a shot at him.  He's going to call it down the middle and expects Blancard to do the same... or he might end up being the one caught in the crossfire and getting hurt instead.  Tully asks Hall if he's the one who will do it!  Scott smirks and says he does what he wants when he wants... period.  Tully suggests a little warm up to show everyone that the right guys were picked to call this match down the middle.  Hall says "don't sing it - bring it!"  Tully suggests in the ring ... right how!  Scott smiles and says "I got no problem with that, Chico!" and slings his toothpick into the face of Blancard.  "See you in the ring, Chico!", says Scott as he walks off.

TULLY BLANCARD versus SCOTT HALL

 

Tully is dressed in street clothes and we see Dawn Marie at ringside as well, trying to talk Tully out of wrestling.  Here comes Scott Hall, slowly strutting and grinning as he climbs into the ring.  Referee Tommy Young is out and calls for the bell and it's on.  Tully and Scott are both talking trash as they go nose to nose and chest to chest..  Tully throws the first punch and Scott follows with a punch of his own.  Realizing he can't outpunch the bigger Hall, Tully takes Scott down with a single-leg takedown, but Hall is too quick and reverses the move, ending up on top and pounding away at Blancard.  Hall whips Tully into the ropes, but Tully decides to bail to the floor instead.  We see Dawn Marie grabs Blancard's arm and start pulling him towards the back.  Hall is in the ring and calling for Blancard to come back, but the frustrated Blancard just throws his arms in disgust and walks away towards the back with Dawn Marie as Young counts and reaches ten.

Winner by Count-Out:  SCOTT HALL

 

We go now to the back and see Lex Luger warming up. Here is Hulk Hogan and his son, Nick.  Hulk wants to know what Luger is going to do.  Hogan heard what The Giant said to Luger and wants to know if Lex is going to doublecross him - because if he is, they can get it on right now!  Lex tells Hogan that he has nothing to worry about!  He promised Hogan that he'd be his partner tonight and he keeps his promises.  Hogan doesn't seem too sure of Lex, but then Nick chimes in with how Lex has been helping him with his weight-training all this past week and how much time Lex has spent with him.  Lex can be trusted!  Hogan doesn't seem too confident about Lex, but says OK and tells Lex that he'll see him in the ring in a little bit.  Lex smiles and tells Hulk that he has nothing to worry about and tonight, Hulkamania and the "Total Package" are going to make short work of Giant & Booker.  No one can say what the future holds, but tonight, they're partners.  Lex swears to Hogan that during the match, he'll have Hogan's back!  ....  Luger smacks Hogan on the back as we go to commercial.

We come back and the Elementalz, Soce the Elemental Wizard, Rico, Daniel Puder and the WCW World Tag Team Champions,  Hugh Morrus and Tank Abbott are in the ring.  Soce has the mic.  He heard that Eric Angle wasn't very happy about the little kiss that Soce gave him last week.  Well, Soce thinks that Eric is fronting.  He thinks Angle enjoyed it and wants more.  But sorry, it's not going to happen.  Soce only surrounds himself with real men like the World Tag Team Champions, Tank Abbott & Hugh Morrus.  Or like the MMA Fighting Machne, Daniel Puder.  Or the ultimate man's man, Rico!  But if Angle wants some more, come and get it.  All he has to do is get through these men in the ring... 

 

Puder gets the mic.  At Beach Blast, he's going to welcome Bill Goldberg to his world.  Bill Goldberg is a big guy and a tough guy, but he doesn't know the world of MMA like Puder.  Goldberg already came into Puder's yard one time and ended up with a broken arm.  Next time, at the PPV, it just might end up being his neck. 

 

Morrus gets on the mic now,  At the PPV, he and Tank are defending the tag team titles against Eric Angle and Marty Jannetty.  Angle - a punk who lives off his brothers reputation.... and Jannetty, the "other Rocker"...  Do they really think they have a chance?  To coin a phrase that Morrus read in a fortune cookie somewhere, "Give up - you have no chance in hell!" 

 

Rico gets on the mic. He's advanced in the TV title tournament after making quick work of Eric Angle last week... all by himself.  Rico claims that Angle went quicker than the two-dollar whore at Brokeback.  Soce interjects that "yeah, but he's got some nice lips!"...  RIco and Soce share some laughs and break bad on Eric Angle for a bit...

 

Here comes Eric Angle and Marty Jannetty from the back - Eric goes after Rico while Jannetty goes after Morrus & Abbott.  Puder attacks as well as Soce scurries from the ring and we see a four-on-two beatdown on Jannetty and Eric Angle.  Here comes Goldberg through the crowd with a big spear on Tank Abbott.  He tosses Morrus to the floor as well.  Rico and Puder slide out of the ring and grab Soce, heading up the ramp, as Morrus & Tank follow.  Goldberg helps up Jannetty and Angle and grabs the mic - "Hey Elementalz - YOU'RE NEXT!"

We come back and Schiavone, Zbyszko and DDP, who's still at ringside, review what just happened.  Just announced - next week on WCW Nitro - it's a six man tag match as Marty Jannetty, Eric Angle & Goldberg will take on Hugh Morrus, Tank Abbott & Daniel Puder... 

 

We go to Penzer for the next match..

 

WCW WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT - ROUND 1

ERNEST "THE CAT" MILLER versus KANYON

 

Before the match, Miller gets on the mic and does his routine about how he's the greatest - and someone needs to call his mama.  Kanyon gets the mic from the Cat and asks the question on everyone's mind - Who betta?  Cat erupts with a series of kicks and fists that sends Kanyon to the floor.  We see Cat dance as the fans cheer.  But Kanyon grabs the leg of Miller and pulls him to the floor and levels Miller with a stiff clothesline.  Kanyon drags Cat over to the announce position where DDP is still helping with the commentary and tells his tag partner to "watch this"... Kanyon rolls Cat into the ring and goes for the "Diamond Cutter" but he's took too long and gets nailed with a crescent kick by Miller. Cat is on fire now and starts to dance as he levels Kanyon with thrusts and kicks.  Miller goes for the Feliner, but Kanyon pulls referee Hage Patel into the way of the kick and Patel goes down. Miller scores with another kick and there is no referee to make the count.  DDP is up from the announce postion and comes into the ring, catching Miller with the Diamond Cutter.  Page pulls Kanyon over and places him on top of Miller before pulling the referee into position.  Referee Patel makes the three-count. 

Winner:  KANYON

We go backstage and see Eric Bischoff talking to Booker T, Sharmell, The Giant and Joel Gertner.. He wants them to end Hulkamania once and for all tonight. If Luger is smart, he'll join them.  If Luger is stupid, he'll stick with Hogan and his return to wrestling and WCW will be a very short visit - he goes down too!  Booker and Giant are very enthusaistic about their match, but everyone grows quiet as the camera pans over and we see the WCW World Champion, Sean O'Haire, along with Dawn Marie. 

 

O'Haire wants to speak to Eric.  Eric tells everyone to leave the office and they file out.  We see Wight and Booker both eyeball O'Haire and the WCW World Championship belt on the way out and we also see Dawn Marie and Sharmell trading some dirty looks.  Eric asks O'Haire what's up?  Sean wants to know the same thing.  The Beach Blast PPV is less than two weeks away and O'Haire doesn't know who he will be defending the WCW World Championship against yet!  Who is the number one contender?  Sean wants to know!  Eric rubs his chin and says that he hasn't really decided yet.  There will definitely be a title match, but Eric's not sure who will get the shot.  But he promises O'Haire that he'll have his answer - and opponent - next week on Nitro! 

 

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

 

WCW WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT - ROUND 1

BARRY WINDHAM versus BUFF BAGWELL w/ April Hunter

 

Windham and Buff are quickly exchanging fists and kicks.  We see April grabs the le of Windham, setting up a distraction as Buff scores with a neckbreaker.  Slam by Buff and he goes up for the Buff-Buster. But he stops a second too long to pose and Windham is up.  Windham catches Buff with a dropkick as he comes off the top rope.  Barry covers for two.  WIndham with clotheslines and a big suplex.  Barry takes Buff and places him on the top rope and connects with a big superplex.  Buff tries to escape, but Barry grabs a handful of tights to keep the extra leverage as referee Brent Robinson makes the count.

Winner:  BARRY WINDHAM

BOOKER T & "THE GIANT" PAUL WIGHT w/ Sharmell & Joel Gertner versus "THE TOTAL PACKAGE" LEX LUGER & HULK HOGAN w/ Nick Hogan

 

Booker and Lex start off by trading armlocks and takedowns,  Booker scores with a leg lariat and gets two.  Luger fights back with forearms and a suplex before tagging off to Hogan.  Hogan with fists and a slam.  Hogan goes for the legdrop, but Booker moves and Hogan crashes and burns.  Booker tags the Giant.  Giant in with headbutts and several chops. Giant just tosses Hogan around and to the corner where Luger tags in.  Luger and Giant exchange fists and we see Luger reach down and slam the 500lb Giant.  Lex scores with a flying forearm and signals for the "Torture Rack", but gets nailed from the outside by Booker.  Booker tags in and hits the axe-kick for two as Lex kicks out.  Lex takes a tremendous beating from Booker as Hogan & Nick watch on.  Lex fights back with forearms and a big DDT before crawling to the corner and hot-tagging Hogan.  Hogan in with fists and punches.  Booker with the low kick and Hulk goes down.   Tag to the Giant who grabs Hogan for the chokeslam.  Hogan rips at the eyes of the Giant and punches away.  Hogan is "hulking up".... We see Sharmell and Joel Gertner at ringside and they go after Nick - surrounding him.  Lex drops to the floor and chases off Gertner and Sharmell.  Hogan is distracted by all of this and Giant catches him by the throat.  Choke slam by the Giant. Giant covers and gets the pin as referee Rus Cherico makes the three count.

Winners:  BOOKER T & THE GIANT

 

As Giant and Booker celebrate with Sharmell & Gertner outside the ring, we see Hogan confront Luger.  Where was he when Hogan was getting pinned?  Lex says that he was keeping Gertner and Sharmell away from Nick - protecting Hogan's son.  Hogan & Lex are exchanging words and it's getting heated.  Giant & Booker have stopped their celebrating on the outside to watch Lex & Hulk.  We see Nick trying to get between his father and Luger and keep the peace.  Finally, Lex has had enough and rolls to the floor out by the announce position. He's tired of arguing with Hulk.  Booker and Giant take advantage as they roll back into the ring.  We see Gertner grab ahold of Nick and push him into the corner as Booker & Giant attack Hogan.   Giant gives Hogan another big choke slam.  Luger watches for a second and then gets back into the ring, causing Giant and Booker to back off.  We see Luger standing over the fallen Hogan and looking at him.. and then looking at Giant and Booker.  Luger points at the Giant and Booker and says something quietly as he helps Hogan up... before leveling him with a big forearm smash to the head.  Luger places Hulk in the "Torture Rack" as Booker and The Giant cheer him on. 

 

We hear Schiavione scream that we're out of time... Thanks for watching Nitro....

 

THE END!
