Highlights from last week

Nitro Open

We’re starting it out with Old Man Flair, who is flanked by about 8 security guards. Flair says the Vikings will be the Giants- no way, jose. Flair then calls Sin Sunday the biggest PPV of the year, which doesn’t bode well for 2001, eh? Flair turns his attention to Mike Sanders, who has the put the commissionership on the line against the Cat at Sin. Then we talk about the main event, so here comes the Cho Cho Chosen One, and yes, Jeff Jarrett calls Flair a slapass. Flair then says there will NOT be a 3way dance for the title, and that brings out the Big Bad Booty Champion. Tee hee, Flair says it wont be a 3 way dance, it will be a 4 way dance, with yes, Goddammit It’s Sid. Steiner says it will be he and JJ against Sid and the mystery man. Flair says Steiner can’t trust JJ and shows some video to stir shit up. Flair makes Steiner vs. JJ for the title tonight.
