Nitro #210
Date: October 18, 1999
Location: First Union Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Attendance: 7,413
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan
We open with Sid arriving in a limo and wearing a suit, flanked by attorneys. Oh yeah Russo is in charge.
Juventud Guerrera vs. Evan Karagias
Sid is advised not to speak. Score one for Russo and Ferrara!
Goldberg arrives. Why is wrestling so lenient about performers being late?
Back to Sid, who now talks about Goldberg breaking the stipulation of not touching him before the match. Nothing here other than acknowledging what happened last week.
Vampiro vs. Disco Inferno
Goldberg promises to Jackhammer Sid.
Dustin Rhodes video with him talking like Yoda.
Goldberg and Sid reiterate the same things they said earlier.
Tag Team Titles: Harlem Heat vs. Rey Mysterio Jr./Kidman
The Filthy Animals celebrate the win but the First Family comes up and demands their title shot on Sunday.
Hugh Morrus vs. Meng
Bret Hart promises to give Hogan a title shot if he wins tonight. Sting comes in and jumps Bret but security breaks it up.
Goldberg is looking for Sid.
Berlyn vs. Rick Steiner
Rick beats up Armstrong post match and takes him into the back.
The Outsiders sneak in, high on cough syrup. Seriously.
Goldberg runs into the Insane Clown Posse (dang it!) and beats them up for not knowing where Sid is. Good Goldberg.
Luger is worried about facing Goldberg.
Madusa starts packing while Mona gets ready for their match.
David Flair vs. Kidman
Torrie is with Kidman and kisses him before the match. David charges right at Kidman and is promptly beaten into the ground. A HORRIBLE looking shoulder drops Kidman (imagine the way people would bounce off Vader but with David running instead of someone running at him) and a suplex gets two. Kidman nails a dropkick and a middle rope legdrop. David fights up but Torrie opens her rope to reveal some rather fetching lingerie of her own, allowing Kidman to hit the BK Bomb and Shooting Star for the pin.
Ric is back (about fifteen minutes at most after we saw him) and looking for the Filthy Animals.
Madusa vs. Mona
Evening gown match which Tony credits to the new creative team. This is a New York evening gown match, whatever that means. Tony tries to call this a Nitro moment, whatever that means. For some reason I seem to be saying that far too often tonight. Mona goes right for her to start and snaps off a suplex followed by a high cross body.
WCW World Title: Sting vs. Bret Hart
Now the hold goes on but Sting gets over to the ropes. Back up and Sting is limping, so Bret hammers on the lower back. What exactly does the Sharpshooter hurt anyway? Sting gets in a shot to the face to get a breather but the knee gives out on a suplex attempt. The champ throws on a sleeper but Bret suplexes his way out.
La Parka vs. Buff Bagwell
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Perry Saturn
Eddie suplexes his nephew to the floor but turns around for a superkick. As you would expect, the announcers ignore the match to talk about the Revolution and how awesome Shane is. Chavo stays on the floor as Saturn beats up Eddie, only to go after the younger Guerrero for a change. Eddie hits a big dive to take them both out and they fight on the floor to fulfill the Russo requirement.
Recap of Sid vs. Goldberg tonight.
Horace Hogan vs. Norman Smiley
Elizabeth is out back with a guitar next to her head. I bet she did it.
Total Package vs. Goldberg
Tony promises that this is just the beginning to end the show.
