Nitro #226
Date: February 7, 2000
Location: Tulsa Convention Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma
Attendance: 6,358
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Mark Madden
We open with the recap of last week, with the NWO adding the Harris Twins and then the completely unnecessary Caged Heat match on Thunder. What a great way to open the show.
The NWO has surprises for Sid and Funk. Nash is going to be back soon.
Norman Smiley vs. Evan Karagias
Norman wants all three of them at SuperBrawl. You and every other teenage girl in the world Smiley.
Danny Hodge is here. He deserves better.
The announcers run down the card.
Flair and some women arrive.
Booker vs. The Wall
Lane and Idol ask for a title shot again.
Tank Abbott vs. Barbarian
Torrie with the KidCam.
We get clips from 1989 of Funk vs. Flair in the I Quit match.
David Flair vs. Terry Funk
Stevie Ray vs. Disco Inferno
Jarrett thinks WCW is trying to rip the NWO apart but Hall laughs it off because the title will stay in the family either way.
Flair rants about Arn being in over his head and leaves.
Hardcore Title: Brian Knobbs vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Knobbs is defending and has a broken wrist thanks to Luger. We see a clip of it being broken and they put January 31 instead of a simple last week. Finlay is guest referee again. Bigelow throws a trashcan at Knobbs to start and the champ is in early trouble. He whips Knobbs into the barricade and steps with Brian unable to use the bad arm to stop the impact. In for the first time with Knobbs hitting a ladder and having it fall on top of him. Knobbs makes a comeback but Finlay hits him with a chair, followed by a fast count to give Bigelow the title. Again, this is probably the most logical story in the promotion at the moment.
Steve Borden (yes Steve Borden) will be on the Late Show.
Billy Kidman vs. The Demon
Luger comes to the ring, holding a Hogan chair.
Ready To Rumble is coming.
WCW World Title: Sid Vicious vs. Scott Hall

Nitro #224
Date: January 24, 2000
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
Attendance: 12,106
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan, Mike Tenay
This show is dedicated to Bobby Duncum Jr. He had potential.
Nash, Jarrett and Steiner arrive in separate limos with their women for the evening, including Major Gunns and someone who looks a heck of a lot like Victoria/Tara. Scott Hall is here too.
Cruiserweight Title Tournament First Round: Psychosis vs. Kaz Hayashi
The finals are at SuperBrawl, Juventud is out with Psychosis and Kaz gets a jobber entrance. Presumably annoyed by this, Kaz shoulders him down to start and nails a nice release German. An enziguri knocks Psychosis to the floor and Kaz nails a plancha. Back in and Psychosis nails a clothesline before going after the knee.
Terry Funk and Arn Anderson arrive.
After a break, Nash makes Funk vs. Bam Bam Bigelow in a hardcore match.
The Wall vs. Kid Romeo
Sid thinks something is afoot with the Jarrett absence.
Norman Smiley vs. Shannon Moore
Al Greene vs. Tank Abbott
Abbott knees him into the ribs, punches him in the corner, slams him down, and knocks Greene out with a big right hand for his longest match yet.
Greene is loaded into an ambulance and the NWO laughs.
Terry Funk vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Funk promises reinforcements against Nash on Thunder.
Don Harris vs. Sid Vicious
Vampiro vs. Kidman
Arn Anderson is on the phone with champ. “Get your pants on. Can you be in Vegas for Thunder?”
Nash gets a massage, which is part of his plan to win the World Title.
Total Package vs. Booker T.
Vampiro thinks the WWF sabotaged his mic and wants a rematch with Kidman.
David Flair, Crowbar and Daffney have an idea for the upcoming Tag Team Title match.
Tag Team Titles: Brian Knobbs/Fit Finlay vs. Mamalukes
WCW World Title: Sid Vicious vs. Kevin Nash
Confetti falls to end the show.
