Monday Nitro 11/03/96

NOTE: There was no nitro on 4th March 1996. Nothing has been missed. Lex Luger won the TV Title off a departing Johnny B Badd on the previous WCW Saturday Night.

Singles Match - The Giant (w/Jimmy Hart) vs. Jim Duggan
Tag Team Match - The Road Warriors (Road Warrior Animal & Road Warrior Hawk) vs. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner & Scott Steiner)
WCW World Television Title Match - Lex Luger (c) vs. Alex Wright
Lumberjack Strap Six Man Tag Team Match - Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage & The Booty Man vs. Kevin Sullivan & The Four Horsemen (Arn Anderson & Ric Flair) (w/Miss Elizabeth & Woman).

Duggan? Heyooooooo.

Is this the first time in '96 we've seen the Steiners?

Overall a pretty good show. Steiners and Road Warriors are fantastic to watch and honestly Alex Wright is good enough that he can rope Lex into a good match too. 3v3 final match was hilarious, but not in a bad way for once. The chaos outside the ring was distracting, but in a good way because it meant I didnt have to watch Hogan.

Pretty good episode aside from the first match and the commentary talking about other matches for half of the tag match despite it being the best match on the show. Weird to see Scott Steiner without the blond hair.

Yeah I don't think he bleached it till he came back from his back being disintegrated

(or maybe he bleached it right before his spine got turned to dust I don't remember)

sad lack of notable weirdos in the audience, but it seems like they harvested them and condensed them into the two dude's at the end.

I didn't see this until after everyone left, but that Ultimate Solution guy with the distasteful name actually started off worse:

He was named The Final Solution, but following complaints from Jewish organizations to the Turner corporate offices, his character was renamed The Ultimate Solution.[5] WCW claimed they were unaware that The Final Solution was the name Adolf Hitler gave to his plan to destroy the Jews

It wasnt the worst PPV Ive ever seen.

Probably the second worst after Uncensored '95 though.

Booker and Sting were a legit entertaining tag team at least.

Regal vs. Belfast Bruiser was pretty funny as a concept at least, too.

Real disappointed in the lack of freaks in the audience. Would've thought Tupelo in the mid-90s could have done better. Closest was the dude in the front row taking pictures of the Booty Babe every time she got in view, and that's mostly just sad.

Both final solution and ultimate solution are valid translations of the thing Hitler actually called it: Endlösung. Basically they changed the name from jew killer to jew killer 2
