Nitro #273
Date: January 15, 2001
Location: Allen County Coliseum, Fort Wayne, Indiana
Attendance: 4,836
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Scott Hudson
We see some exclusive footage from after the show with Ric Flair hugging Steiner as Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger watch on. So yeah, Flair is the big villain again.
Cruiserweight Title: Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Crowbar
Rey Mysteiro Jr./Billy Kidman vs. 3 Count
There are no tags anywhere in sight so far. Shannon takes Kidman out with a flip dive and lands on his feet just to show off. Rey dives on both of them before Shane dives on all three of them. Back in and Kidman snaps off a top rope hurricanrana for two but eats a superkick from Shane. The Vertebreaker is broken up to prevent broken vertebrates and Kidman adds the Kid Crusher for the pin.
Post match Team Canada runs in to go after the Animals because this feud is still going. Storm grabs the mic and asks Kidman if he wants a hair vs. hair match against Mike Awesome. Kidman accepts, giving us what could be one heck of a match.
Cat thanks Kronik for their help last night and gives them a Tag Team Title match as a reward. No charge for this one.
Team Canada beats Kidman down.
Konnan vs. Mike Awesome
Tickets go on sale for SuperBrawl: Revenge (great title) on Saturday, or less than a month before the show.
The Cat vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Bigelow runs him over and stomps away with a belly to back getting two. The announcers talk about how important this match is as Bigelow chokes away, only to miss a charge in the corner. A chop and the dancing elbow get two on the big man, followed by the Feliner for the very quick pin.
US Title: Shane Douglas vs. General Rection
WCW World Title: Kevin Nash vs. Scott Steiner
The remaining good guys come in for the brawl to end the show.
