Monday Nitro

Tulsa, Oklahoma
February 7, 2000

The Nature Boy was stylin' and profilin' again as he and WCW strutted their way into Tulsa, Oklahoma for another big edition of Monday Nitro. As Terry Funk prepared to rekindle a fire he and Flair set 11 years ago, on this night, David Flair was at the plate to face The Funker. It was "I Quit" rules, and in the end, as The Nature Boy let his son take a beating meant for him, Terry Funk spared David, but vowed that middle aged and crazy would overcome the dirtiest player in the game.

In the ring, 3 Count started the night off with the announcement of a fan contest to win a date with them. As they began to dance, their music began to slow down and speed up. Norman Smiley was shown in the production truck, telling the producer to mess it up. Finally, Norman's music started and he hit the arena to the delight of the Tulsa crowd. Evan attempted to suplex Smiley to the outside, but the maneuver was reversed. Shannon Moore and Shane Helms tried to interfere, but it backfired, and Smiley got the pinfall victory. Legendary pro wrestler Danny Hodge was at ringside cheering Smiley on.

Interview: The nWo
Hall took the mic, but forgot the words to his famous speech again. The Harris Boys said that whoever got in their way would get hurt. Scott Steiner, dressed in lavender from head to toe (including a cowboy hat), said he heard Ric Flair out last week saying he was the man. He said that Flair stole his act from the legendary Nature Boy Buddy Rogers, and Flair is nothing but a butt kisser in WCW. Jarrett told Sid that the nWo's new buddy, referee Mark Johnson would be the ref for their match at SuperBrawl. He then went on to book Sid against Scott Hall for the main event of the night. When Hall told Jarrett he was still hurt, The Chosen One said not to worry, Hall was clearing him to work for the night.

After the match, Biggs had Booker arrested for assault and battery and attempted murder, referring to the attack on Biggs last week.

As The Funker challenged Ric Flair to come to the ring, David attacked from behind with a chair. After repeatedly refusing to quit, Funk rolled to the floor, where he exposed the concrete under the pads and delivered a piledriver on the hard floor to David. Still challenging Ric to the ring, Terry piledrove David through a table at ringside. The crowd erupted in a "we want Flair" chant as Funk set up another table and placed the youngster on it. Funk said the Nature Boy had five seconds to come to the ring before he ended David's career for good. Flair didn't come, but Funk quit the match, saying he wouldn't beat on David anymore because it wasn't his fight.

Backstage, Arn Anderson told Mike Tenay to get a camera crew ready and everyone would get their answer.

Interview: Arn Anderson
As Mike Tenay granted Anderson his time, Arn said what he just saw made him sick to his stomach. He said that Flair should have been out there for his son, and not hanging out with the ladies in the back. Anderson said from that point on, he was bowing out, taking himself out of the picture.

Stevie Ray with Big T and J Biggs d. Disco Inferno with The Mamalukes
Ray powered Disco around the ring early, as Big T and The Mamalukes had words outside the ring, prompting the referee crew to come out for the save. Stevie pulled out the slapjack, but Inferno kicked it out of his hand. As Disco went to retrieve it, referee Charles Robinson took it from him. This slight distraction allowed Stevie Ray to apply the slapjack, the wrestling move, for the victory.

He then called out Jimmy Hart, Hogan's best friend, to deliver a message. Hart told Package he was a Hogan wanna be and would never draw crowds and sell merchandise like The Hulkster did. Package then placed Hart in the Torture Rack and put Jimmy's hand in a chair, stomping on it to break the hand, and send the message.
