Nitro #224
Date: January 24, 2000
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
Attendance: 12,106
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan, Mike Tenay
This show is dedicated to Bobby Duncum Jr. He had potential.
Nash, Jarrett and Steiner arrive in separate limos with their women for the evening, including Major Gunns and someone who looks a heck of a lot like Victoria/Tara. Scott Hall is here too.
Cruiserweight Title Tournament First Round: Psychosis vs. Kaz Hayashi
The finals are at SuperBrawl, Juventud is out with Psychosis and Kaz gets a jobber entrance. Presumably annoyed by this, Kaz shoulders him down to start and nails a nice release German. An enziguri knocks Psychosis to the floor and Kaz nails a plancha. Back in and Psychosis nails a clothesline before going after the knee.
Terry Funk and Arn Anderson arrive.
After a break, Nash makes Funk vs. Bam Bam Bigelow in a hardcore match.
The Wall vs. Kid Romeo
Sid thinks something is afoot with the Jarrett absence.
Norman Smiley vs. Shannon Moore
Al Greene vs. Tank Abbott
Abbott knees him into the ribs, punches him in the corner, slams him down, and knocks Greene out with a big right hand for his longest match yet.
Greene is loaded into an ambulance and the NWO laughs.
Terry Funk vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Funk promises reinforcements against Nash on Thunder.
Don Harris vs. Sid Vicious
Vampiro vs. Kidman
Arn Anderson is on the phone with champ. “Get your pants on. Can you be in Vegas for Thunder?”
Nash gets a massage, which is part of his plan to win the World Title.
Total Package vs. Booker T.
Vampiro thinks the WWF sabotaged his mic and wants a rematch with Kidman.
David Flair, Crowbar and Daffney have an idea for the upcoming Tag Team Title match.
Tag Team Titles: Brian Knobbs/Fit Finlay vs. Mamalukes
WCW World Title: Sid Vicious vs. Kevin Nash
Confetti falls to end the show.
