WCW Monday Nitro: February 26, 1996

Monday Nitro is live from Knoxville, TN with our hosts Eric Bischoff, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and Steve "Mongo" McMichael. They talk about the six man tag team match between Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Booty Man against Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Kevin Sullivan.

They also mention Uncensored as right now the Belfast Bruiser takes on Lord Steven Regal and Konnan defends his U.S. title against fellow Mexican wrestler Eddie Guerrero (two Mexicans for the U.S. Title). 

The opening match is Sting vs. Big Bubba. During Bubba's entrance, Bischoff gives away results of the "World Whiny Federation's" Raw as Yokozuna wins the handicap match between he and Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith by DQ, Jake Roberts beating Isaac Yankem, and Diesel beating Bob Holly since Raw is taped and Nitro is live.

Sting slaps Bubba in the face at the start. Bubba responds by attacking him, giving Sting the leap on his back while Sting is laying on the second rope as well as sliding to the outside to give Sting an uppercut. Sting gets out of a headlock only to run into a spinebuster. Bubba gives Sting an Avalanche and sends him outside. A "grandma" at ringside gets in Bubba's face allowing Sting to hit him.

Back in the ring, Sting gave Bubba a nasty looking piledriver. Bubba eats a boot in the corner. Sting goes for a middle rope splash only for Bubba to get his knees up. Sting is sent outside. Bubba goes up top where Sting shoves him off the top rope back into the ring. Sting climbs the top rope and hits Bubba with a flying crossbody for the 1-2-3.

After the commercial break, Gene Okerlund is standing with the WCW World Tag Team Champions Sting and Lex Luger. The Road Warriors interrupt the interview and challenge Sting and Luger for the titles in a "Chicago Street Fight" at Uncensored. Luger accepts the match on behalf of him and Sting.

Luger takes on The Renegade. Renegade beats on Luger until he missed a crossbody. Luger gives him a suplex only for The Renegade to get right back and no-sells Luger and hits him with a clothesline and then a powerslam for two. After hitting Luger with the handspring elbow in the corner, Renegade goes up top for the flying splash only for Jimmy Hart to push him off.

Luger then puts him in the Torture Rack as Renegade gives up as Luger wins. Sting comes out to yell at Luger for having Hart again interfere in his matches. Luger lifts Renegade up as a show of sportsmanship but Sting is not buying it as he continues to scold Luger.

The Road Warriors take on Harlem Heat with apparently the winner of this match will take on Sting and Luger for the tag team titles. Well since The Road Warriors already challenged the champs and they accepted at Uncensored, it's fair to say who will be winning.

Hawk and Booker T begin the match where they tag Animal and Stevie Ray, respectively after Hawk gave Booker a reverse neckbreaker. Stevie gives Hawk a Powerbomb and Booker T nails him with an axe kick for two. After a double suplex, Hawk eventually gets the tag to Animal, who gives both Harlem Heat a double clothesline.

Animal and Stevie fight outside while Booker T sets Hawk up for the Harlem Hangover as he climbs up the top rope. Booker nails him with it, but there is no referee. Animal kicks Booker in the head and Hawk pins him. The ref turns around and counts 1-2-3 in a rather weak finish. The Road Warriors are officially the number one contenders for the World Tag Team Titles.

It's time for the six-man tag team main event match between Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Booty Man vs. Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Kevin Sullivan. The Booty Man starts the match attacking the heels and doing his strut like Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.

Here comes The Diamond Doll Kimberly wearing a super short skirt making me drool as she is carrying flowers and is wondering who gave them to her? Perhaps its Booty himself. But she's Johnny B. Badd's girl formerly Diamond Dallas Page's girl. Boy does she get around. I'm only 14 but please sometime come my way!!

Anyway, Eric Bischoff mentions that Booty Man was actually a spy as Zodiac in the Dungeon of Doom sent in by Hogan to take them down from the inside. Sure whatever!! Savage gets beaten and chopped by Flair in the corner. Savage then throws Flair off the top rope and tags in Hogan.

Hogan and Booty Man gives a double big boot to Flair. Booty Man whipped all three men into Hogan as Hogan gave each man a big boot. Hogan gives Arn the Leg Drop and pins him for the 1-2-3. After the match, Flair knees Hogan into the corner where Elizabeth handcuffs Hogan to the corner as Flair begins whipping Hogan with a leather strap and the show goes off the air.

Nitro will not be on next week because of a stupid ass movie on TNT so Nitro will be back on in two weeks.
