Nitro #280
Date: March 5, 2001
Location: Bi-Lo Center, Greenville, South Carolina
Commentators: Tony Schaivone, Scott Hudson
Rick Steiner vs. Booker T.
Non-title I believe. Booker starts in with his kicks but Rick no sells most of them (of course) and does his brawling punches in the corner. Some right hands to the head actually stagger Rick but he gets caught in a belly to belly for two. A tiger bomb gets two more on Booker, who escapes the Steiner Driver by pulling Rick down in what looked like a botch. Not that it matters as Scott comes in for the DQ.
Diamond Dallas Page comes out for the save and clears the ring. Insults are exchanged and a tag match is made for later.
We recap the Cruiserweight Tag Team Title tournament.
Cruiserweight Tag Team Title Tournament First Round: Elix Skipper/??? vs. AJ Styles/Air Paris
The hot tag brings in AJ as everything breaks down and we hit the big dives to the floor. The announcers would rather talk about an upcoming (as in on Thunder) Mike Awesome vs. Lance Storm match which really puts these titles in context. Romeo powerslams Paris off the apron as Chavo Guerrero comes out to watch. Back in and Skipper dropkicks Air into a Snow Plow for the pin.
Chavo thinks Shane Helms should be the one who is scared.
Team Canada beats Konnan down but Hugh Morrus makes the save.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Dusty Rhodes
Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Shane Helms
Spring Breakout video.
Hugh Morrus vs. Mike Awesome
Konnan comes out to save Morrus from a post match beatdown.
Booker T./Diamond Dallas Page vs. Steiner Brothers
Page bails from the Seven but Scott jumps him in the crowd to end the show.
