Opening Nitro recap.
Nash and Page make the save and Sanders is ticked. Mike wants Page to fight a Thriller tonight and Stasiak volunteers, with Sanders making it a lumberjack match for no logical reason.
Scott Steiner is here.
Yang vs. Shannon Moore vs. Evan Karagias
Rating: C. As usual this needed more time and some more polish but at least it was entertaining while it lasted. I still have almost no idea why these teams are still fighting but they can do some fun big matches. Unfortunately this was nowhere near long enough and the match was a bit sloppy, which dragged it down too much.
Alex Wright tries to buy Kronik for later tonight but apparently can only afford half. Adams seems to have an idea.
Rey Mysterio/Kidman vs. Bryan Clark
Rating: D. Why does WCW hate cruiserweights so much? They just had former Tag Team Champions lose to Bryan Clarke in a glorified squash match for the sake of pushing a feud with the Boogie Knights. I know they might not have been the biggest things in the world but it would have been nice to see them not treated as cannon fodder.
Page and Nash are ready for the Thrillers.
Vito rambles a bit until Sanders comes in to give him a match tonight. Vito calls him Parmesan face.
Recaps of Steiner vs. Booker and DDP/Nash vs. the Thrillers.
Video on Sanders vs. Goldberg. Feel free to have a match anytime here.
The Cat and Buff Bagwell are ready for their match tonight. Is that match happening ANYTIME SOON???
Buff Bagwell/The Cat vs. Jeff Jarrett/Shane Douglas
Scott Steiner vs. Big Vito
Mike Awesome/Crowbar vs. Bam Bam Bigelow/Reno
Bigelow and Reno are laid onto tables and Crowbar is nice enough to let Awesome powerbomb him over the top and through Reno for the big crash. Bigelow gets up and kind of sends Awesome through another able (kind of as in Awesome jumped WAY harder than Bigelow threw him) as Reno covers Crowbar for the pin o the floor.
Shawn Stasiak vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Nash powerbombs the referee to end the show, which the announcers find funny for whatever reason.
