Monday Nitro – August 7, 2000: These Guys Can Only Do So Much
Monday Nitro #252
Date: August 7, 2000
Location: Pepsi Center, Denver, Colorado
Commentators: Scott Hudson, Tony Schiavone, Mark Madden
We open with a video on the three way which is the real main event on Sunday.
The three of them (Goldberg, Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash) arrived earlier. Oh wait Goldberg was just arriving.
Jung Dragons vs. Dark Carnival
Rating: D. We had three breakdowns and a ladder along with green mist in a five minute match. As usual, almost everything on these shows are so overbooked that I lose track of what the match is supposed to accomplish. The action was fine while it lasted, but there was way too much stuff going on for it to work.
Back with Nash, Steiner and Goldberg being held apart by security backstage. Steiner gets away and comes to the ring to face Sting. A challenge is issued and Steiner destroys him with a pipe.
Post break the Rection sends the troops out to get the belts back to Kronik. Gunns on the other hand wants to throw Hancock in the mud and strip her clothes.
Buff Bagwell/Judy Bagwell vs. Positively Kanyon/Pamela Paulshock
Sting vs. Scott Steiner
Scott hits Sting with the pole and chokes him until Nash runs out with a chair for the save. Security breaks everything up.
Post break, Nash/Sting vs. the Steiners is made.
Mike Awesome and his friend Heidi are out for commentary.
WCW World Title: Lance Storm vs. Booker T.
After a break, Jarrett wants a match with Awesome tonight.
A-Wall goes looking for the Filthy Animals and finds the Nitro Girls by mistake, earning him a beating with shoes.
Major Gunns drags Tygress out to the mud pit but Miss Hancock comes out to jump Gunns, leaving all three of them in the mud. Gunns gets the worst of it.
Mike Awesome vs. Jeff Jarrett
Kevin Nash/Sting vs. Steiner Brothers
Rating: D-. Yeah what else were you expecting here? No one was really interested in doing anything and it was more about setting up the triple threat than any issues these guys happened to be having. Rick Steiner continues to just be there despite no real reason for having that spot. Well other than being the brother of a crazy man that is.
Post match Goldberg kicks Sting down and stares Nash down to end the show.
