Nitro #244
Date: June 12, 2000
Location: Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, Virginia
Attendance: 4,723
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Mark Madden, Scott Hudson
Scott Hudson has no shirt on because he made fun of Russo for not having a shirt on. Does it surprise anyone that we have to suffer so we can see proof that Russo has moved above Hudson in the official manliness power rankings?
Tony: “Sting was lit on fire last night. If you want to see something shocking, order the replay.”
Hardcore Title: Big Vito vs. Terry Funk
Funk hands Vito the belt and shakes his hand post match. Vito blasts him with the belt to look truly evil.
Vampiro talks to someone in a cloak about Sting being gone. The man in the cloak says there are more souls to take. So we have a higher power.
Shane Douglas/Buff Bagwell vs. Kronik
Bagwell and Shane argue post match and Shane sucker punches him with brass knuckles.
Kidman thinks Jarrett vs. Hogan needs a guest referee.
Cruiserweight Title: Lieutenant Loco vs. The Artist
Flair and company arrive.
Cat is waiting on Hogan.
Russo has a group of women to do whatever Goldberg wants. Goldberg sends them off.
Hogan arrives and Cat tells him that the title match is in ten minutes. Hulk agrees but gets blindsided by a guitar shot.
Horace is unconscious in the back.
WCW World Title: Hollywood Hogan vs. Jeff Jarrett
Then the moment is kind of wasted as the announcers do the big serious chat but Tony chuckles at Hudson for not having a shirt on.
Discussion about Sting getting burned, same problem with Hudson. If you want to see a man get burned, order the replay!
Vampiro vs. The Demon
Russo is panicking about losing his hair.
Before we get to the match, we need to go over this. Last night at the pay per view, the announcers speculated that there were two possibilities:
1. Kanyon was hurt and Bischoff got inside his head.
2. Kanyon never was hurt and it was all staged.
Scott Steiner vs. Positively Kanyon
Vince Russo/David Flair vs. Ric Flair/Reid Flair
Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash
