WCW Monday Nitro Season 1, Episode 16: Madusa Trashes the WWF 18/12/1995 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: flashing effects/colourful effects/fire

Commentary Award goes to: Eric Bischoff for less than a minute making a reference paraphrasing, but you will get the point; of this TV program always been live, in reference to the WWF/WWE not always been live [pre-recorded] and later speculates on the allegiance between  "The Total Package" Lex Lugar and Sting. Even though I know Bischoff makes a tiny blooper on commentary; he was meant to take us to [just away from the entrance ramp] Okerlund, but he said into the ring instead and other bloggers but he does correct himself in those.

Wrestling Award goes to:  The Four Horsemen's "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Eddie Guerrero: Singles Match

Promo Award goes to: Alundra Blayze/Medusa; debut and legendary segment [I am not being disrespectful by not talking about it at too much greater length here, as you will see she will pick up another award momentarily.]

Later on

[In the middle of the ring] "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Four Horsemen's" "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair & "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson; Okerlund threatens to basically terminate this interview if Flair does not stop attacking Guerrero; Anderson provides an update on the progression and success of this faction/stable over recent times [we also get a video package simultaneously of what happened on last week's Nitro.] Okerlund brings Flair into the conversation as we come back from the video package we see "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan and “The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart enter into the ring to interrupt Flair. Sullivan is not happy that "Flyin" Brian Pillman mentioned The Dungeon of Doom in that promo last week in fact Sullivan said basically you have a loose cannon and you better keep him on a short leash.

Later on

Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pitman comes to the commentary area with a microphone in his hand and asks Heenan to manage him, but Heenan doesn't manage anymore, he is a broadcast journalist so he declines, but he does say give me your details and I will pass them on to another manager, but Heenan will help him in any way he can Sgt. Pitman declares if he does not get help, he will take no prisoners.

Later on

[In the middle of the ring] Okerlund interviews; Sting and talked to him about his involvement in Starrcade '95': World Cup of Wrestling:.

Later on/finally Okerlund interviews; interviews Hulk Hogan and the WCW World Heavyweight Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage outlining the potential journey of the the WCW World Heavyweight Champion [this segment is also involving the Dungeon of Doom's The Giant.]

Debut Award goes to: Alundra Blayze/Medusa with 80 seconds into this episode we have this wrestler [making her way into the commentary section with a microphone and this WWF Women's Championship] performing her infamous and legendary debut as she pronounces herself as Medusa and takes the WWF Women's Championship and puts it in the bin and to really push the point/battle lines have been drawn you have with  Steve "Mongo" McMichael [with Pepe the Chihuahua] referencing Connecticut [if you didn't know is the headquarters of the WWF/WWE.]

Honourable mention: I know if I don't make reference to this at some point or another I will have backlash; we also have William "Refrigerator" Perry making his debut appearance, now once again this for those younger generations who may be thinking what is the significance of this? Well to continue pushing the narrative of the battle lines have been drawn this individual also was involved in WrestleMania 2 1986 in the Battle Royal and later on in 2006 he was entered into the WWE Hall of Fame.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it does attempt to give the illusion of chaos as in constructive chaos for one example which even clearly see in this content scheduled/illusion of unscheduled interruptions in the commentary area in one way or another.
