WCW Monday Nitro
Taped from Jacksonville, FL
Airdate: November 13, 1995 (taped 11/6)
Attendance: 9,500 (3,500 paid)
Hosted by Eric Bischoff, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, and Steve “Mongo” McMichael
Taped? But Nitro was supposed to be LIVE, right? Well, do you recall the Japanese contingent watching Nitro at ringside last week? WCW and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) had a working agreement where they exchanged talent. As part of the “talent exchange” the Japanese contingent wrestled on the taped shows along with Nitro and the WCW contingent travelled to Japan. In fact, Sting lost the US title to Kensuke Sasaki in Tokyo on 11/13. Therefore, with the talent performing live in Tokyo they couldn’t be available for a live Nitro hence the taped show from the previous week. I wonder how it reflected in the ratings.

Apparently “Macho Man” Randy Savage is injured so Eddie Guerrero replaces him in the opening contest. No arguments here. Truth be told, Savage is working with a triceps tear so a night off for him at this point isn’t such a bad idea.
Live from Detroit, MI
Airdate: October 29, 1995
Attendance: 13,000 (7,000 paid)
Hosted by Tony Schiavone and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
According to Tony, Ric Flair has been attacked by Brian Pillman and Arn Anderson. Their tag match later may be in jeopardy. No! That’s why I bought the show, dammit! Oh wait, it’s 20 years later. Never mind.

Live from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Airdate: October 22, 1995
Attendance: 10,339 (9,000 paid)
Hosted by Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, and Jerry “The King” Lawler
To say that I’m not thrilled by reviewing this show would be putting it mildly. Not only have I seen this show previously but also I read about it in Titan Sinking. Since even Vince McMahon hated this show (more on this later) I’ve enlisted the services of Sir Charles Barkley of Alabama. Sir Charles will make a commentary here and there. After all Sir Charles is never short on words.

Fascinating historical fact: Vader was finally FIRED by WCW on 10/11 due to injury NOT the Paul Orndorff fiasco. Yeah, right, WCW.
