Nitro #274
Date: January 23, 2001
Location: Lawrence Joel Memorial Coliseum, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Commentators: Scott Hudson, Tony Schiavone
Mike Sanders gives Chavo Guerrero a pep talk and tells him to watch the next match closely. The Wall is here too and promises to end the legend of the Misfits tonight.
Michael Modest vs. Christopher Daniels
Rating: C+. It was nice while it lasted but why bother letting either guy go anywhere when you can use them as cannon fodder for WCW? This would be the last appearance in WCW for both guys but at least they were able to be in the ring for a bit before Steiner got to treat them like the most worthless goons this side of The Goon. At least let someone win the match before the run-in.
Team Canada comes out with Lance Storm challenging Konnan to a one on one match with the winner being the official winner of the war between the Canadians and the Filthy Animals. Konnan comes out to accept in his own unique way.
Lance Storm vs. Konnan
Lex Luger vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Mamalukes vs. Shawn Stasiak/Mark Jindrak
Shawn finally gets in a jumping back elbow to the jaw before bringing in Jindrak for one off a moonsault. Vito takes a double elbow of his own, which is finally enough for Johnny to come in without a tag as everything breaks down. Vito kicks Stasiak and Jindrak clotheslines Johnny for two each, only to have the rest of the Thrillers come in for the weak DQ.
Post break the Thrillers are still arguing with Sanders not being able to calm them down. Flair pulls Sanders off to the side and tells him to outsmart the rest of the team.
Shane Douglas vs. The Cat
Post match Cat does his dancing and Rick actually joins him for a bizarrely entertaining visual.
Hugh Morrus/Lash Leroux vs. A-Wall/Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Morrus beats Chavo up post match. Sore loser.
Kevin Nash vs. Buff Bagwell
Post match Scott Steiner, Kronik, Animal and Jarrett come out for the big brawl to end the show.
