WCW 1996:Nitro is up!

WCW Monday Nitro!

Eric Bischoff starts the show off in the ring...
"You see,I'm not out here to waste any time,so I'll just get to the point. Yesterday I recieved a call from my boss, Mr. Ted Turner saying he wants something to shake up Nitro, and something to shake up WCW...well I got 2 announcements that might just do that. First off, there will be a new title in WCW to showcase some of the best Cruiserweights in the Wrestling world. I'll get to that more after, but my main announcement is that I have gave two top WCW stars 15,000 dollars each to join me in my "unit" to shake up WCW. With this unit,we'll see if WCW can win a war with a group in it's own company..much less a war with the World Whining Federation. And for those who can't comprehend that sentence,I'm going to start a war with WCW,using 2 of it's top stars. You'll be suprised what money makes people do. Now back to the Cruiserweight Title, I'm going to be holding a tournament, and if I can get the brackets pulled up on a screen, thanks. The tournament starts tonight with two quarterfinal matches...."

Hogans team won as when Savage was locked in a figure four,Hogan nailed the legdrop on Flair and pinned him. After, Hogan helped up Savage as Bischoff climbed into the ring. Bischoff smiled at Savage and nodded to him. Sting and Hogan then attacked Randy Savage! They beat him down into a lifeless heap! Lex Luger tried to come out and make the save, only to be beaten up as well. Bischoff got on the mic and yelled "YOU SEE THIS TED TURNER? THIS IS HOW YOU SHAKE UP WCW!" He then handed Sting and Hogan two checks for 15,000 dollars. This might be the darkest day WCW has ever seen
