Luger takes on Alex Wright for the TV Championship.  Yes, Luger is the champ now and we talk about that. Then, in the main event, we get one heck of a cluster that is exhausting to try and follow.  A lumberjack strap match with Hogan, Savage, and the Bootyman vs. Flair, AA, and Kevin Sullivan!  Try really hard to not loose your mind with this one.

On this episode of Late to the Nitro Party we will be watching and reviewing WCW Nitro from 02/26/96.  We kick off the show with Sting vs. Big Bubba in a decent but generic match.  Some shenanigans then go down involving the Road Warriors and Sting & Luger.  “Fake Warrior” is up against Luger afterword.  Sting gets mad at Luger and loses his mind.  Harlem Heat take on the Road Warriors.  Then in the main we have the “Bootymaniacs” vs. the Horsemen in a match that involves big boots, beautiful women, and handcuffs….but not in a sexual way. (Apologize for any audio issues.  This was thrown together as a last stitch effort just before we watched the debacle that was SummerSlam 2016).....Enjoy!

Episode 25 - 02/19/96

This week of rasslin goodness starts the way last week ended.  We review WCW Nitro from 02/19/96 where the show kicks off with a Hogan vs. Arn Anderson rematch.  This match involves some confusing run ins but who's trying to figure this stuff out anyways?  Loch ness then wrestles, if that's what you want to call it, Alex Wright.  We have the Nitro debut of Fit Finlay, then known as "The Belfast Bruiser.  He and his glorious mullet will take on Brad Armstrong and his equally glorious mullet!  The main event puts Savage against Flair.  This match involves all kinds of nonsensical interference and ends with Ed Leslie as "The Booty Man" channeling the gods and saving the day.  At least we get some more antics at the announcer booth at the end which has Hogan really trying to get over Leslie's Booty gimmick.
