Episode 22 - 01/29/96

On this episode of the Late to the Nitro Party podcast we see the aftermath of Clash of the Champions 32 going into Nitro on 01/29/96.  We get a match between Hogan, with Mrs. Elizabeth, vs. Flair..  Shenanigans ensue.  The Road Warriors make their Nitro debut against the Faces of Fear.  There is a confusing exchange between the Dungeon of Doom and the Horsemen.  Madusa and Sherri put on a decent women's bout.  Savage then defends his title against The Giant which ends in a cluster of an ending.

Episode 21 - 01/22/96

On this episode of Late to the Nitro Party we cover WCW Nitro from 01/22/96 which was Live from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV!  We get a surprise appearance from K-Dogg himself showing off his Mexican Championship.  Our first match is for the World Title.  It's Ric Flair defending his title against Savage who is accompanied to the ring by middle-aged woman.  One of which is Hulk Hogans wife for some reason.  Mr. Hogan still finds a way into the spotlight during this match as well.  Brian Pillman and Dean Malenko lock up in the second match.  Sting and Luger take on Harlem heat with a little Jimmy Hart thrown in.  The main event is again Hulk Hogan in a squash match.  Only this one is against One Man Gang...the US Champ!  They proceed to diminish any prestige the title may of still had.

Episode 20 - 01/15/96

On this exciting edition of Late to the Nitro Party we cover WCW Monday Nitro from 01/15/96.  The show kicks off with a surprisingly good match between Luger and Savage (even though we have come accustomed to seeing this match on a regular basis).  Brian Pillman gets slapped by good ole' Double-A for being an uncontrollable idiot.  Public Enemy make their Nitro debut.  Sting takes on Flair for the World Title.  Then last and definitely least...Hulk Hogan gets his obligatory "big" match of the night against Meng.  There seems to be a pattern as of late.  Enjoy wrestling fans!

Episode 19 - 01/08/96

We start this episode of Late to the Nitro Party with a great cruiserweight battle between Chris Benoit and Alex Wright.  This is followed up by an even better match put on by Eddy Guererro and Steven Regal!  These matches are followed by more who trust who shenanigans with Sting and Luger before the Stinger takes on DDP.  Then we have a tag match with AA and Flair v Savage and Mr. Terry Bollea himself.  Bollea with another great showing that the fans really love and appreciate.....or maybe not.
