My WWE 2K18 Results: WCW Monday Nitro (June.Week 3)

WCW Monday Nitro

June, Week 3, Year 1

Rio Rancho, NM

Show Opener Promo

Bam Bam Bigelow is ranked #2 and WCW Cruiserweight Champion Brian Pillman is ranked #3. Pillman is as close to the top of World Championship Wrestling than he ever has been. “Flyin'” Brian has the stars in his eyes and is hungry to continue to advance. He calls out “The Beast in the East” who comes out to face Pillman. However, Pillman says that he hasn't come to New Mexico alone and he wants a shot at Bigelow's WCW World Tag Team Championship. Bigelow accepts Pillman's challenge but adds that he'll put his title on the line alongside DDP if Pillman can beat them next week. Pillman is then suddenly laid out by Bam Bam who attacks Pillman and leaves him laying.

NWO Wolf Pack contemporaries, WCW United States Champion Kevin Nash and WCW World Television Champion Disco Inferno are going back and forth over who is the better champion. Things get a little tense when ornery WCW Hardcore Champion Scott Hall takes exception to Disco's claims and asks Disco if he thinks that he's a better champion than Hall. Disco hesitates which tells Hall everything he needs to know as he tells Disco that he'll see him out in the ring later tonight. Hall and Nash walk off which leaves Disco calling out to them.

Match #1

Rivalry Match

Normal Match

Goldberg '98 vs Fit Finlay

Pre-Match: Stunning Steve Austin comes out to sit and watch the match at ringside.

Mid-Match: Finlay and Goldberg engage in an exchange of fists that ends with “The Belfast Bruiser” clotheslining Goldberg out of the ring. Austin goes in for a closer look and ends up face to face with Finlay. Goldberg then charges at Finlay who sidesteps Goldberg who plows right into Austin.

Winner by pinfall: Goldberg '98 (Spear & Jackhammer)(*** Very Good)

Last week on Nitro, Sting '98 called out Ric Flair '91 to the ring, both Superstars making their statements that they would win their WCW World Heavyweight Championship match. Tempers ran hot between the enemies with a fight breaking out between them!

Rivalry

Sting '98 calls out WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair '91 and trades barbs with “The Nature Boy” who continues to malign Sting for joining up with the NWO despite Sting's claims of joining up to ultimately save WCW from any NWO Hollywood tyranny. The exchange does not go well and it ends with Sting clocking Flair in the head with the mic. They brawl in a heated physical exchange that end with Sting standing tall.

Tensions between Bret Hart '98 and Ricky Steamboat '94 are growing worse as they continue to butt heads in and out of their matches. Despite rushing Bret in their match last week on Nitro, Steamboat would once again go on to lose to “The Hitman”. Hart would add insult to injury by not using a finishing move or hold to defeat Steamboat. What does “The Dragon” have to say tonight?

Middle Card Promo

Rivalry

Ricky Steamboat '94 calls out Bret Hart but is ultimately defeated in a promo battle. “The Dragon” seems to be in dire need of a shift in momentum. Will Bret own this rivalry or will Steamboat find success over “The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be”.

#1 contender for the WCW United States Championship, Bret “The Hitman” Hart '98 has opted to temporarily give up his status as the #1 contender in favor of a WCW United States Championship opportunity after he settles his rivalry with Ricky Steamboat. This way WCW United States Championship matches won't experience any lapses or delays in competition. With that being said, WCW US Champ, Kevin Nash needs a challenger soon and we're going to find one next!

Match #2

#1 Contender's Match for the WCW United States Championship

Normal Match

Vader vs Lex Luger

Winner by pinfall and #1 contender: Vader (Powerbomb)(*** ½ Great)

Post-Match: Vader decides against leaving and stomps away at Luger.
