PS if Bob Holly = Kool Moe Dee, does Kurt Angle = LL Cool J?

Special thanks also to Moses Gates for trying to get some signage my way during the show (I didn't see it, sorry).

QUICK QUOTES: AOL 42.24 (- 6.25), TWX 63.25 (- 8.50 ... last year: 66 29/128), SPLN 6 (+ 1 5/16 ... last year: 62 3/8 - blame WrestleLine)

AWARDS: The reason that THIS report is so late is I took an extra 24 hours tying up the 2000 rec.sport.pro-wrestling awards - in the past, it's been not only a good indicator of the online community's *current* faves and raves, but also an accurate predictor of trends for the coming years. If you can spare a few hours to dig into it, hop over to rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info!

Also, this year marks the first time the eleven year history of the poll that the results have been concurrently made on the World Wide Web - head over to http://www.CRZ.net/wrestling/awards/2000/ if you're more web-inclined.

YEAR IN REVIEW: Want to help put it together? With the Awards finished, now's the time to write and let me know!

TV-14-DL "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Ric Flair, CEO of WCW - welcome to Monday Night Nitro. Wooo what a show we've got lined up for you tonight! Now let's talk about last night, first of all - Starrcade at Washington, DC may have been one of the grandest Starrcades of 'em all - it was glorious! We're back up and we're ROLLIN' baby - but let's get down to some business that's gonna be happenin' tonight. Last night, Buff Bagwell, you interfered in a match between Lex Luger, the Total Package...and Bill Goldberg. It made it very obvious to me and all the wrestling fans that you wanna get to know Bill Goldberg even better, so tonight, right here on Nitro, Buff Bagwell, woooo you gotta match with Bill Goldberg. Now let's get to my favourite topic and that's the World Heavyweight Championship - last night, Scott Steiner, our world heavyweight champion - our flagship - beat one of the great wrestlers of all time, Sid Vicious to retain the world heavyweight championship. Congratulations, Scott...but it's only just begun for you - I cannot let you ride on your laurels. We've got to keep moving forward - Sin Sunday, January 14th, our next big pay-per-view, you're the world heavyweight champion, Scott Steiner, and you're gonna be'fendin' your title, and tonight, I'm gonna reveal, during the course of the show who your opponent is, or who your opponents are going to be. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Monday Nitro Nitro woooo let's kick it in gear - woooo."

Clips from Starrcade - I don't think you should be saying *anything* with "World Order" after it, but ESPECIALLY not "Nashville," Nash & Page win the straps once again, Goldberg wins, Steiner retains...and nothing else happened, I guess.

Opening Credits - it might be my eyes, but I only see Booker T. twice in here now - and one of THOSE times, he's gettin' it with the gee-tar

PYRO AND LIGHTS - this is the Richmond Colesium in Richmond, VA - and aired undetermined via tape delay the same day, 18.12.2K - THIS is WCW Monday Nitro on TNT!

SUGAR SHANE HELMS (already in the ring, with stills from Starrcade) v. SHANNON MOORE in a #1 Contender's match - Starrcade stills show us how we got here, when we had two winners of the six-way ladder match. I know, go figure. Anyway, Flair decided that from two, we need one, so this match is the result. Handshake to start, as you'd expect from the partners. WCW Backstage Assault for the Playstation box clutters up my screen. Moore ducks the lockup and applies the waistlock - Helms with the hiptoss to counter. Into the ropes, wow, they've already managed to infringe on a WWF trademark - well done. up and over, Moore up - headscissors down - Helms takes a powder. Back in...lockup, side headlock from Helms, Moore elbowing out, holding onto the whip attempt but Moore ducks it, off the ropes, sleeper, Helms shoves him off, drop toehold, waistlock and rollover for 2. Moore with a schoolboy for 2. Single leg trip gets 2 for Moore. Backslide for 2. Drop toehold by Moore, another roll gets 2. Moore with a body scissors rollup for 2. Helms says "I'm sick of your spot / spot / spot shit" and throws him over the top rope with a hairpull. Ready to go out after him, but Moore pulls him out by the ankles and slides back in himself. Hands on hips - bring it, if you please. Helms to the apron, Moore with a head to the gut. Going for the sunset flip over the top rope to the floor, but Moore flubs it and lands on his ass. He considers pretending it didn't happen, but Helms is all "I ain't selling THAT, yo" so Moore switches up, just pulling his ankles and hitting him face first on the mat. Running at him on the floor, Helms dumps him over his head...Moore lands on the apron, and leaps off with a head scissors takeover that bounces Helms' head into the safety rail after a somersault. Helms rolled back in, Moore follows. Clothesline ducked by Helms, tilt-a-whirl for naught as Moore lands on his feet - going for the tombstone, Helms leans backwards...got him on his shoulder, but Moore shoves him hard into the turnbuckle shoulder first. Sat up on top, right hand by Moore, going outside and climbing up...another forearm, top rope, forearm, Helms elbowing out...got Moore on his shoulder - BIG powerslam from the corner. 1, 2, kickout! Up on the shoulders...spun around into a jawbuster using the knee. Helms waiting on him...arm wringer, go behind holding the arm, straitjacket suplex - which Joey Styles calls it the X-plex (uhhh no) - but referee "Blind" Jamie Tucker only counts 2. Helms argues the count...perhaps a little too long here, wasting a lot of time. Moore's head meets the top turnbuckle, into the opposite corner...Helms ready with Marty Jannetty's Showstopper ("Sugar Smack"), but Moore ducks it, Helms put in the corner, but Helms dumps him over the top rope to the apron. Moore counters with a hairpull to the mat, climbing up, springboard corkscrew press - 1, 2, NO! Right hand by Moore, into the ropes, hiptoss blocked, Helms with a knee in the gut, leg on the neck, back flippy flippy, into the ropes, hiptoss blocked by Moore, knee, leg on the neck, Rocker Dropper ("his manoeuvre") puts him down - 1, 2, NO! Moore staying on him, sitting him on top, right, climbing to the second rope - top floor...Frankensteiner attempt, but he forgot to take Helms with him - yikes. Helms to the top - super sunset flip! 1, 2, shoulder up at the LAST possible instant (even as Tucker's arm contacts the mat). Into the ropes, reversed, Helms with a forearm to the back - hooks the arms...reverse Gorry special...and GORRYBOMB. Oh, sorry, "Vertebraeker." JESUS. They're ruining this match! 1, 2, 3. (6:17) Well, if tonight's show is anything like the PPV, I can lay out for the next two hours and coast, 'cause it ain't gettin' any better than THIS. Shane Helms is the #1 Contender...helping up his partner...but CHAVO GUERRERO, JNR is out to punk *both* of them out - into the ropes, reversed, Helms ducks, Moore has him on his shoulders...double swinging neckbreaker---oh FUCK ME it's the "Nightmare on Helms Street." Well, these guys are ready for ECW to fold at least. Chavo's left laying....

We cut backstage to see General Rection tell Lash LeRoux he TOLD him that Chavo's no good. "Don't roll your eyes!"

The following segment is paid for by Jimmy Hart - but NOT IN MY REPORT

Stills from Starrcade show Buff Bagwell join Lex Luger and attack the Sarge

GENE O. works tonight! He stands with Luger and Bagwell, who perform an impromptu book review. Bagwell says being designated as an interviewer last night was the last straw - this company's been systematically holding him down for nine years, and he's had enough. What better way to get back to the top than to hook up with Lex Luger and form a tag team - called Totally Buff. Steiner walks in and tells them to help him figure out the mystery partner. They promise to help, sensing that any other action might meet them with bodily harm...and then they all take off.

WCW WORLD HARDCORE TITLE: THEMONSTERMENG (with Kwee-wee & Paisley & Let Us Take You Back One Week & Starrcade Stills) v. TERRY FUNK - Funk won the title last night, if you haven't figured it out by now. Funk appears on the Nitrotron. "Hey Meng - you monkey-face moron - I'm calling you out for a hardcore match! You with your flat feet and banana nose - come out here and meet the hardcore legend inside of a cage - have you got the guts, Meng? You hear me? Come on out - come on out, Meng! Come on! Themonstermeng runs backstage...and here we go. "Hooohoohohohohoo hohohohohoho waahaha waahahahahaha" - through another door and Themonstereng finds Funk - who slams a cyclone fence on him. Themonstermeng punches, Funk runs him into the fence, another fence, garbage can, garbage can, garbage can, unwraps his fist, but before he can choke him - oh, wait, those are cuffs - Themonstermeng strikes, and Funk drops them.

You cannot imagine how many consecutive months they'll say "you cannot imagine." Sin is 14 January! Sin - BRILLIANT name. I can see it now. "Mommy, Daddy....can we order Sin?" JUST BRILLIANT

Jeff Jarrett avoids Scott Steiner tossing a chair - Steiner wants him to find out who the mystery partner is. Then he goes to the bathroom!

Starrcade stills detail the painstakingly crafted story of how Reno turned on Big Vito in a shocking.....aw screw it

Gene O. stands with Big Vito, who says "whatsa mattah witchyew?" He's coming after Reno AND the Thrillers. He vows that he'll have the last laugh.

Meanwhile, Daffney and Crowbar are WALKING! Back to Badlanders and feeling so good. Mike Awesome meets up with them. "Hey, Crow, bro, what happened to your clothes?" "Sorry, Mike man-- Mike. That 70's thing - it almost killed *my* career, and it totally made me lose my edge. Y'know, I'm sorry, it's just not for me. Thanks to Daffney, I've found the edge again, and I think it's really good if you'd start to find yours." "Yeah!" "Uhh..I've got mine, so...high five?" "Find your edge, man." "Yeah!" Awesome starts to say something else, but we go to the ad break instead. Oh well, it probably wasn't important anyway....RIGHT?

Monday Nitro will be pre-empted for the next two weeks - WOW! AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

WCW CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDER'S MATCH: LANCE STORM (with Major Gunns & MIA T-shirt at wcwgear.com ad) v. ? - "If I can be serious for a minute,

Promotional consideration paid for by Crown Books' "I'm Next" (2), Slim Jim (Savage) (2), America (ha!) Online 6.0 (3), "Toy Story 2" (2), and Crown Books' "I'm Next" (3) - I hope they get some newer, better ads next year...or lose them altogether...

Oh my God! It's that gay "Bod" ad that isn't fake!

Only the healing power of "Tuesday Wednesday Thursday" can relieve me of the memory of that ad

WCW CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDER'S MATCH - THAT 70'S MULLET (with Starrcade stills) v. ? - holy SMACK that place looks empty in the long shot. Awesome carries THE STICK. I try to figure out how Awesome went from wrestling in trunks and not having 70's music LAST night to wrestling in jeans and belt and having 70's music tonight. Maybe he'll tell me. "Well it's that time again, ladies, the Love Doctor is in." Then again, maybe he won't. "And whether you're big, tall, fat or small, it really doesn't matter, because there's enough Vitamin A to go around for everyone. But after the way I beat the hell outta Bam Bam Bigelow last night at Starrcade, the Love Doctor feels a little change comin' on, and if I'm not mistaken, there's a little bit of Career Killer that's just achin' to come outta me! So ladies, I'm gonna have to reschedule my appointments, and rebook them dates, because the Awesome one is off and runnin' towards the WCW Championship. Now, since everything seems to be a mystery around here, why don't we bring out my qualifying opponent, so I can kick his ass too?" It's NBA on TNT Wednesdays & Thursdays! No, it's "THE CHOSEN ONE" JEDOUBLEF JADOUBELREDOUBLET. Much is made about Jarrett lying to Steiner earlier in the show when he asked him if he was one of the opponents...oh, *that's* what he did.

Thunder ad

Backstage, Steiner catches up with Jarrett and tells him he lied to him. Jarrett tells him he had to lie to him or he wouldn't have made it to the match, and he has to make the match in order to protect his title reign. "I'm the only one around this place that's got your back!" Steiner accepts his logic. Together, they go looking for the mystery guy...in the bathroom AGAIN?

Glacier promo - Our World is About to Change...Again.

We cut to Norman Smiley watching the monitor intently..."he's coming back! Glacier's coming back! Finally, a real hero!" Then he starts wiggling.

FINALLY they figured out that this works better when the commentators don't act like they're all IN on how stupid it is. It's the difference between GOOD stupid and BAD stupid. The needle's tipping toward GOOD stupid...especially now that Smiley's just gotten (marginally) involved.

Meanwhile, Gene O. stands with Franchise - he says that sometimes to win the war, you've got to lose a battle. He issues a challenge for Rection on Thunder - the MIA's against himself...and Kronik. Clark makes the mushroom cloud pantomime. Adams says "Shakka brah." Well, they didn't, but they might as well have.

Courtesy "The Man Show," it's Hanukkah with Goldberg! Hey, how come Goldberg has to move over to Comedy Central to finally do something Jewish?

See WCW live - while you still can! Memphis tapes Nitro (pre-empted, though?) Friday in Memphis! NEXT Friday, tix go on sale for Columbia. Next Saturday, tix on sale for Nitro in Winston-Salem, tix on sale NOW for Sin in Indianapolis. And...that's all they talked about.

Meanwhile, Awesome throws a tantrum backstage. The Filthy Animals try to calm him down. "What are you guys talking about? Y'all don't know anything - you're just a buncha LIGHTWEIGHTS! Why don't you leave me alone and don't go anything." Is that what he said?

Nitro is pre-empted the next two weeks! They're doing a better job promoting them NOT being on than they did when they moved them to Tuesday...

ACHTUNG ACHTUNG HIER IST ALEX WRIGHT v. CAT (with Mz. Jonez & MIA T-shirt's at wcwgear.com) - Wright STILL has the coolest music in WCW. Cat immediately gets to remarkin' on Wright's dancing style. "You dance like one of the Nitro Girls!" Apparently, that's an insult. OUCH. Cat asks him to show him the dance again. They hit his music again. Wright dances. "All right - all right - now sit yo ass down!" Cat leads the crowd in a chant of "fatass." Cat promises to whip Wright's ass...then dance for the people. I guess there are worse reasons to have a match. Wright tries to drop an elbow as Cat comes in - misses. Elbowdrop - misses. Elbowdrop - misses. Kick by the Cat - into the ropes, big back body drop. Raring back for the big kick...Wright hides behind referee "Blind" Billy Silverman. Cat shoves Silverman aside and grabs Wright...Wright with an arm wringer and clothesline. Wright gets to stompen. Snap suplex, floatover, zwei. Cat with an elbow, uppercut, right, double thrust, Wright fires back. Through the ropes to the outside - will Cat get involved with the commentary team? We can only hope! No, Cat reachees under and steals some guy's drink - then throws it at Wright as he drops down with the failed double sledge. Hudson: "Where is Madden going? Donut truck drive to the building?" Wright fires back, including a nice shot with the cup. Water show fails - Cat kicks, kick, kick, Wright to the throat. Euro uppercut. Another European uppercut. Wright drops Cat on the commentary table - elbow to the heart. Jones with a shove. Cat manages a few shots and gets back in the ring. Forearm for Wright as he comes back in - double thrust from the Cat. Steps on the sternum. Wright busts out a gutwrench suplex to counter. Wright puts Cat through the ropes. Wright meets him on the floor. Scoop...back to the ringpost. Recht, recht, Jones tries a kick but Wright blocks it...but that distracts him long enough to take a kick from the Cat to the chest. Wright manages to shove Cat into the safety rail. Cat back in the ring, Wright follows - stomp, recht, recht, elbow, that's got to be the LEAST painful looking version of the armbar I've seen in quite some time. Wright moves to a bit of a chickenwing...no, I guess not. Cat to his feet - oh, he's starting to dance - bodyslam - jiggy chop. Wright fires back with a double axehandle. Arm wringer, back to the Kunze armbar. Crowd is....on TV and feeling fine. Jones leads cheers for the Cat and meets with moderate success. Cat to his feet again...right, right, right, off the ropes, knee in the gut by Wright. Elbow to the shoulder. Into the ropes, high knee! Wright RULES! Hooks the leg - 1, 2, no. Scooped up on the shoulder...Cat down behind him, and shoves him into the corner - Feliner coming out - 1, 2, 3! (5:55) That match was GREAT. It's JB time. HOLY COW! Miss Jones busting out the MORRIS DAY DANCE

Here's a look at a black limousine...oh, no, it's just Mike Sanders and the Natural Born Thrillers. For some reason they mute the

Meanwhile, Scott Steiner gives a pummelin' to the Jung Dragons, Evan Karagias & Jaime Knoble...and Elix Skipper. This is what we in the business like to refer to as a "push" ... for Steiner.

Here come the NATYRYL BORN THRYLLYRZ to kill a little time. Hudson says that adjusting the brightness on your television won't make Sanders any smarter - which is a GREAT line. Take your time, Mike. "You know, guys...lookin' at this crowd...I see you CAN take Richmond, Virginia out of the trailer park...but you can't take the trailer parks outta Richmond, Virginia!" --the hell? That doesn't even make sense! (NBA on TNT Wendesdays and Thursdays) Hudson: "Mike, it's a two hour show!" That line ALWAYS works. "Now, we've said it before, and you know that the Natural Born Thrillers are the most genetically j-j-j-j-JACKED individuals to ever step foot in pro wrestling. Lemme tell you something, we're bigger, we're stronger, we're faster, and what was the other thing? Oh, we're a hell of a lot better lookin' than the rest of those jabrones in the back. Now let me tell you..." A single voice can travel far in this dead room, and some fan keeps trying to swear...and meeting with the mute. "Now let me tell you what we do. We give your CHILDREN heroes to look up to. We give your boyfriends, your husbands an excuse to get in the gym! Oh yeah...and we give you ladies a fantasy to go home EVERY MONDAY NIGHT. Now...now last night, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that those two artifacts, Kevin Nash and Dallas Page got LUCKY...we were cheated. We were robbed. And you know it - and everybody at home knows it. You don't see Kevin Nash and Dallas Page here tonight - hell, look at these guys, ain't nothin' wrong with us! Now let me drop a little bombshell on ya. Since I am the commissioner, since I'm the man in charge, since I make all the command decisions around here...lemme tell you what's gonna happen. We've got a little pay-per-view coming up called Sin. Now, at that pay-per-view, the world tag team titles will be on the line. Now, let me introduce to you the #1 Contenders for the world tag team titles..." Now, THE CEO's music hits and out comes Flair for a counterpoint. Now, Flair finds a strobe light to stand in front of to give me another seizure. Now, I wonder what he's gonna say. Now, I wonder how much longer this segment can run before something happens. Now, I wonder how many consecutive sentences *I* can start with the same word. Now, I wonder if it'd be more than Sanders. Now, I think probably not. "Wooooo! Mike Sanders, ya hear that brother? That's excitement .. in .. the .. wooo air! Richmond, Virginia happens to be a city I like a lot, brother - wooo - and I knocked down more women in this town in 1981 than you will in your entire life. When the Horsemen came through here, there were three thousand girls lined up - we were sold out, brother. Woooo! Now let me tell you the facts as they are, you're right...these guys are big, bad, slick and young, and man, they got some of the best bodies in this business, but I just - I just saw you, Sanders, standing next to Lex Luger back there, and I couldn't SEE ya! So maybe you're gettin' big but you're not the biggest yet, and here is the bottom line. For all you bring to the table, Commissioner, you're still not capable or you're still not able to make matches. Now, the Perfect Event lost those titles last night in a great match - you're right, those kids are good, and they can wrestle their ass off - that's why they're workin' for this company. But you know what? That doesn't mean they get a title shot automatically because you pull it out of the sky. Look over there at Shawn. Look over there at Palumbo. Look around 'em - all you guys are gon' be in the ring together on Thunder with about six other teams in a big battle royal - and you know what? The team that wins that battle royal is then goin' to wrestle the InSiders at Sin for the world heavyweight tag team woooo championship!" "Be careful with the dance, I don't want you to fall down and break a hip..." "Aw, don't worry about me fallin' down, brother - I'll be standing long after you're sleepin' - wooooo! Ladies and gentlemen, Richmond, Virginia, give Commissioner Sanders one more wooooooo! Woooo!"

Buff Bagwell stole Lee M. Cardholder's WCW MasterCard! Alert the authorities!

So if the "24 hours of A Christmas Story" ends at 8PM Monday, but they're NOT showing Nitro, then what are they showing? And do we even care?

Dammit, we ALREADY saw these Starrcade stills of Buff, Luger, Sarge and Goldberg

BUFF DADDY BAGWELL v. COLD "31-0" BEER (with Goldberg jersey available at wcwgear.com - entrance: 1:19) - No pyro for Bagwell. Bagwell hightails it - Goldberg out after him...but wait, it's THE NARCISSIST laying in wait - chair to the gut - WHACK - referee "Born to Do It" Scott James, unaware that usually this is all allowed in Goldberg's matches, calls for the bell (DQ 0:29)

Sin ad #2 - GOLLY there are a lot of inactive/gone people in this ad

By the way, this show will be pre-empted the next two weeks. Can I give you a CRAZY suggestion? Instead of spending all this time telling us Nitro WON'T be on, why not remind us that Thunder WILL be on? Is that too difficult? Do these guys WANT to ever actually MAKE money again?

WCW CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDER'S MATCH: LANCE STORM (with Major Gunns) v. JEDOUBLEF JADOUBLEREDOUBLET - "If I can be serious for a minute...it's one down, and one to go! After tonight, I'm on to Sin and my first world title. 'Cause Jarrett, as good as you are.....you're not from Calgary [Hudson & Schiavone simultaneously: "Where's that?"] ...Alberta, Canada." Anthem lasts a bit better (:22) before Jarrett comes out. Say, kids...just one simple question. Just one. Answer me this ONE question and I'll stop complaining. Who is the FACE in thisa matchup? Lockup, no, leg sweep by Storm, kicked back by Jarrett. Side headlock takeover by Jarrett, leg scissors by Storm. Both men back up. Collar and elbow tieup, side headlock by Storm, powered out, shoulderblock by Storm, up and over, hiptoss by Jarrett, Storm kicks him back. Tying up again, rolling around - to the corner - referee "Blind" Mark Johnson forces the break...they simultaneously land right hands trying to get the jump on each other...but Storm recovers first. Storm with the right, right, right, through the ropes to the floor. Jarrett runs out of the way of the pescado. Storm back in the ring - Jarrett with the figure four!! Storm feels the pain - 1, 2, no. Storm tries to roll it - tries again - and rolls it. Jarrett grabs the rope and they break. Jarrett puts him into the ropes, no, reversal, crucifix by Storm for 2. Inside cradle, 1, Jarrett rolls it, 2. Storm with an elbow to the back. Trying a suplex, but Jarrett goes behind and rolls him backwards for 2 - Storm powers him out. Storm with a kick, another kick, and that's a kick. Jawbreaker from Storm. Nice dropkick. 1, 2, Jarrett lifts a shoulder. Scoop....and a slam. Storm going up top - it's a high risk...and Jarrett proves it by crotching him. Uppercut, right, to the second rope, right, right, superplex attempt - Storm to the kidneys three times, but Jarrett still has the advantage. SUPERPLEX!! Both men are down and Johnson puts on the count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..... 7... 8... Jarrett puts an arm on him - 1, 2, shoulder up! Jarrett off the ropes, Storm with "Iblockyourpunchyoudont'blockmine," right, right, into the ropes, reversal, kick is caught by Storm, Jarrett's enzuigiri (!) is ducked, Storm still has the leg and I'm thinking he might go for it here - sure enough, trying to turn it over - got the Canadian Maple Leaf! But Jarrett's too close to the ropes and grabs it quick. Storm puts him into the ropes, reversal by Jarrett, the Stroke! 1, 2, 3!! (4:44) SCOTT STEINER & MIDAJAH walk down the aisle - Scott James trying to keep him from doing anything stupid but he's a few years too late. Steiner has a mic. "Ric Flair, I told you, end of the show, I want the mystery man. Your time is up, Ric Flair. I'm gonna come back there and (shove this pipe up your ass). And there he goes...Jarrett, confused, keeps his guitar handy...just in case.

Backstage we go, where Steiner, James, and Midajah have made their way to the go position...Steiner grabs JIMMY HART and tells him to produce. Hart says he doesn't know where he's at. Finding Flair's office, he bashes in the door with the lead pipe...but Flair isn't in there. Instead, he's at the end of the hall...and exiting the building. Steiner nears the door - but SOME GUY in a black straitjacket pops out and pops Steiner one. Security is quickly on the scene...and so are the credits. See ya in three!

Sin ad #..3? "...making the fights...REAL." What the hell does THAT mean?

"You're watching BULL!"
