Nitro #217
Date: December 6, 1999
Location: Milwaukee Arena, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Attendance: 7,250
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan
The Mamalukes and Tony Marinara arrive with Tony yelling at them for letting Disco and Lash get the better of them. Tonight, they meet the boss.
Fit Finlay has Brian Knobbs in the woods, training him to be a REAL hardcore wrestler. This has potential, but Norman would be far more entertaining.
Hardcore Title: Norman Smiley vs. Rhonda Singh
What is the deal with Russo having men fight women? It happens almost every week. Before the match, Smiley says he would take Finlay apart if he was here tonight. The fat jokes begin as Singh throws weapons into the ring and nails Norman with a trashcan. She tells him to be a man and hits another trashcan shot, followed by a splash in the corner. Norman comes back with a fire extinguisher blast and sends Singh face first through a table in the corner to retain.
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title: Psychosis vs. Jushin Thunder Liger
Psychosis hits a missile dropkick for two and yells at Charles Robinson for the near fall. Back to the floor with Liger being whipped into the barricade, setting up a top rope hurricanrana to give Psychosis two back inside. A quick Liger Kick stuns Psychosis and Liger throws him into the ropes for a crash. Out of nowhere, a majistral cradle gives Liger the title back.
La Parka chairs Psychosis post match to make sure Liger gets zero focus.
The Nitro Girls play cards when the Mamalukes come in and make it a strip poker game.
Maestro looks for Symphony.
Evan Karagias vs. Mona vs. Madusa
If either girl wins, they get a title shot at Evan at Starrcade. If Evan wins, he gets Starrcade off. The girls shove Evan away and go at it themselves with Madusa kicking her in the face for two. Evan sits in on commentary because EVERY MATCH NEEDS COMMENTARY. Mona comes back with a cross body and missile dropkick but Evan throws her down, only to get small packaged by Madusa for the pin in like 80 seconds.
Jeff Jarrett comes out and guitars Madusa because men beating up women is funny right? He challenges Goldberg for later.
Lash and Disco have tied Tony up and promise him a surprise.
Vampiro and Jerry Only are going to take out Dr. Death tonight.
Oklahoma/Steve Williams vs. Vampiro/Jerry Only
The Nitro Girls cheat to beat the Mamalukes in the poker game.
Disco and Lash get ready to tar and feather Marinara. In the middle, Disco draws what looks to be a Hitler mustache on Tony.
The Outsiders are ready for their matches tonight.
WCW World Title: Bret Hart vs. Total Package
David Flair talks to the voices in his head as Symphony wonders why she took this job.
Jerry Flynn issues an open challenge for the Block.
Asya vs. Midnight
Jim Duggan comes out for the save but gets beaten down and covered with the Revolution flag.
Larry Zbyszko talks to Mike Graham about an upcoming meeting with Russo and company.
We get the return of the Nitro Party tapes, but this one includes a “fan” (soon to be known as Daffney), saying that David Flair is really cool.
Creative Control vs. Roddy Piper
Tony Marinara is tarred and feathered. He offers threats of his father.
The Mamalukes offer a winner take all hand in the poker game.
Dustin Rhodes vs. Meng
Prince Iaukea is now dressed as the Artist Formerly Known As Prince.
Curt Hennig vs. Larry Zbyzsko
Creative Control comes out and shows Robinson the replay so the finish is reversed, meaning Larry is gone.
Chris Benoit vs. Kevin Nash
Sting tells the Outsiders to bring it.
The Mamalukes throw Disco and Lash into a car but the car drives off without them. What
Maestro staggers into the boiler room to find Symphony but gets beaten up by Jerry Flynn. So Jerry is the modern day Mankind? Jerry goes to a door, finds David and Symphony, and eats a crowbar to the face.
Liz has a contract in her hands.
Scott Hall vs. Sting
Non-title, which might have something to do with Hall not bringing the belt with him. Liz comes out with Sting and Nash jumps in on commentary. Hall finds the toothpick throw hilarious but Sting would rather hit him in the face to take over. They quickly head outside with Nash choking Sting with a cord, allowing Hall to get in some cheap shots.
Back in and we hit the abdominal stretch on Sting, followed by a sleeper so neither guy has to do much other than stand there. A belly to back suplex finally gets Sting out and he slugs away, including ten punches in the corner. Sting gets all the way up to twenty but Scott pokes him in the eye for a breather. Liz gets on the apron to pepper spray Hall, setting up the Deathlock for the submission.
Sid Vicious vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Jeff Jarrett vs. Goldberg
