Nitro #269
Date: December 4, 2000
Location: Pershing Auditorium, Lincoln, Nebraska
Attendance: 3,433
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Mark Madden, Scott Hudson
We open with a recap of most of the events from Mayhem and the fallout last week.
Opening sequence.
After a break, Scott Steiner arrives and tells Sanders he wants Sid tonight. Sanders blames Flair for Sid being arrested so Steiner says no one is safe tonight.
Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Kwee Wee
Sanders tells Flair what happened with Sid and Steiner so Ric is going to get Sid out of jail before the end of the show. At least going into Wrestlemania X7 Undertaker said it would take him twelve hours to get out of jail for going after HHH.
Kronik has a new client.
Hardcore Title: Elix Skipper vs. Crowbar
Crowbar is defending and Storm wants the weapons taken away from ringside. This brings out the Cat and Ms. Jones while Storm sits in on commentary. Cat sits in as well to give us a five person booth. Daffney comes out with Crowbar to make sure this is as crowded as possible. Crowbar pulls out a bunch of weapons from under the ring, allowing Skipper to get in a few cheap shots to take over.
We look back at Luger attacking Goldberg on Monday and then running on Thunder.
Norman Smiley is with one of the Nitro Girls when Scott Steiner storms in. Steiner asks Norman who he has tonight. That would be Goldberg so Steiner hits Norman with a pipe.
Shane Douglas promises to take out Hugh Morrus just like Morrus did to Torrie Wilson.
Tag Team Titles: Insiders vs. 3 Count
Speaking of problems, post match here are Sanders and the Perfect Event to bring out Ric Flair. We see a clip from the title change at the pay per view showing the Insiders pinned the illegal man. Therefore, the titles are returned to the Perfect Event, likely so the Insiders can beat them again. Flair makes the rematch for Starrcade, which should complete the double beating.
Bam Bam Bigelow attacks Mike Awesome in the parking lot.
Reno vs. Kronik
This is the match where Kronik was hired but the referee throws it out after less than thirty seconds of double teaming.
Kronik keeps beating on him until Vito makes the save. Marie comes out to check on Reno as Vito walks away.
Glacier video.
Flair tells security to watch out everywhere for Steiner.
We see Goldberg giving a kid a WCW World Title belt on the Maury show.
Goldberg vs. MI Smooth
Forty nine seconds this time and Goldberg hugs Sarge after the latest squash.
Steiner says Flair is next.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Konnan
WCW World Title: Scott Steiner vs. General Rection
That means more forearms and kicks to the ribs with a spinning belly to belly to refresh things a bit. We get the Tree of Woe choke for a bit but Rection backdrops out of a tiger bomb. Rection hammers away and knocks Steiner to the floor for a plancha. Back in and a powerslam sets up the moonsault for two, making it clear that Rection has no chance here. Another moonsault hits knees though and the Recliner makes Rection tap in a hurry.
Post match Steiner heads to the back to get Flair as Shane Douglas comes in to hit Rection with a chain. Steiner finds Arn Anderson and beats him down to the ring for the Recliner. Flair tries to get out for help but Goldberg runs out instead, only to get jumped by Luger. You know, the guy who was just standing at ringside in case this happened. After that tease of Goldberg vs. Steiner in what should be the main event, Sid comes out but is held back by security to end the show.

Night Raw
Date: April 25, 2016
Location: XL Center, Hartford, Connecticut
Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield, Byron Saxton
The opening recap focuses on Reigns, AJ and Gallows/Anderson from last week.
AJ Styles vs. Sheamus
Anderson and Gallows come out to look at AJ, which fuels the conspiracy theory for some reason.
John Cena will be back on Memorial Day, May 30.
Usos vs. Karl Anderson/Luke Gallows
The beating continues post match until Reigns comes out for the save.
Sami Zayn vs. Rusev
Lana throws a shoe at Sami post match. That goes nowhere so Owens runs out and drops Sami with a shot to the back.
Apollo Crews vs. Stardust
Natalya vs. Emma
Charlotte is on commentary. Emma quickly takes it outside for a gutwrench suplex before we hit a seated full nelson. Not that it matters as Natalya gets up and grabs the Sharpshooter for the submission at 2:19.
Natalya stares Charlotte down first match so the champ hides behind Ric.
Baron Corbin vs. Damien Sandow
In a role reversal from Smackdown, no match as Ziggler jumps Corbin from behind and chases him off.
Greetings From Puerto Rico.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Roman Reigns
Non-title. Roman throws him around to start and gets in one of those running corner clotheslines. The running enziguri staggers Reigns though and Del Rio double stomps him from the apron as we take a break. Back with Del Rio holding the chinlock a bit longer than usual before hitting a DDT for two. The low superkick misses though and Reigns comes back with his series of clotheslines. That earns him the now standard booing but Del Rio bails to avoid the Superman Punch.
Post match Anderson and Gallows come in for the beatdown. AJ runs out to stop them but gets Superman Punches. Gallows and Anderson come back in, allowing Reigns to hit the Phenomenal Forearm to end the show.
Results
AJ Styles b. Sheamus – Phenomenal Forearm
Luke Gallows/Karl Anderson b. Usos – Magic Killer to Jimmy
Sami Zayn b. Rusev – Rollup
Apollo Crews b. Stardust – Lifting powerbomb
Natalya b. Emma – Sharpshooter
