Nitro #248
Date: July 10, 2000
Location: Jacksonville Coliseum, Jacksonville, Florida
Attendance: 5,257
Commentators: Scott Hudson, Mark Madden, Tony Schiavone
Tony recaps things as well and only mentions Russo making an impromptu title match due to some circumstances.
Shane Douglas vs. Crowbar
Post match Buff Bagwell comes in and beats up Shane.
Smooth shows up carrying a gold record. Tank Abbott, in the top half of a tuxedo and shorts, and 3 Count (in full tuxedos) are in his limo.
Cat gives Jarrett Kidman instead of a title match.
Here are 3 Count and Tank with the gold record and a ladder for some reason. Tank tells them to hang the record and who are they to argue with him. This brings in the Jung Dragons to shove the ladder over and beat up 3 Count, only to have Tank clean house. Cue the Great Muta of all people to spray mist at Tank, allowing the Dragons to make off with the gold record.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Kidman
Scott Steiner beats up Kanyon.
Cat gives Mike Awesome the US Title but he wants to earn it instead. He turns around and hits on an overweight woman. Well we had to get here eventually.
WCW World Title: Mike Awesome vs. Booker T.
Post match Steiner runs in to attack Booker but Awesome makes the save.
And now, a package on Ralphus/Norman Smiley vs. Big Vito. This really deserved time?
Hardcore Title: Big Vito vs. Norman Smiley/Ralphus
The Cat beats up the Jung Dragons again because this is still a thing.
Lenny Lane is in the crowd with a sign that says USE ME.
Lance Storm vs. The Artist
Vampiro is here and my eyes roll.
Tag Team Titles: Kronik vs. Corporal Cajun/General Rection
Post match Perfect Event runs in to lay out Kronik.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Positively Kanyon vs. Scott Steiner vs. Goldberg
Winner gets the title shot vs. Booker at New Blood Rising. One fall to a finish here and Kanyon starts with Steiner. Scott drops to the floor to yell at some fans before kneeing Kanyon in the face. The bicep elbow gets no cover so Steiner hits him with a chair. Goldberg breaks up the Recliner, allowing Kanyon to get two off a sitout Alabama Slam.
