WCW Nitro
Monday, Week 3, September 2001
Reno, Nevada
Attendance: 5,553

--Nitro cold opens with all wrestlers on the ramp and down the entranceway to the ring with heels and faces subtly separated by the road agents and referees as the national anthem is performed in the ring.

--Scott Steiner comes to the ring and says Rick is his brother but he will put him in the Steiner Recliner if it means keeping the world title in the main event tonight. (73) Commissioner Bret Hart steps out and reminds Steiner and the audience that if either Steiner lays down for the other, the world title will be stripped of the winner. (83)

WCW World TV Title Match
--Kanyon def. Air Paris in 10:07 by pinfall with a Kanyon Cutter. (65) After the match, Konnan comes out and challenges Kanyon to a title match at Fall Brawl with Kanyon accepting the challenge. (61) Kanyon makes his 6th defence of the TV title.

--Bret Hart comes to the ring and announces the title matches for Fall Brawl in two weeks:
**Because of RVD’s pin on Scott Steiner last week on Nitro, he will face the winner of tonight’s world title match between Scott Steiner and Rick Steiner;

**The United States title will have Jeff Jarrett defending against Booker T with The Total Package ordered to stay backstage;

**The cruiserweight title will have Chavo Guerrero Jr defending against Billy Kidman;

**The World TV title will be Kanyon versus Konnan;

**The World Tag Team titles will have Ernest Miller and Norman Smiley defending against Team Canada. (84)

--Kevin Nash and Sean O’Haire come down to the ring for a promo when they are interrupted by The Total Package and Shane Douglas. Luger says he was watching tape from last week and it appeared O’Haire was unhappy with Nash stealing the pin for the win. (78) O’Haire glares at Luger and Douglas as he exits the ring well ahead of Nash. (72)

--Diamond Dallas Page def. Buff Bagwell in 12:13 by pinfall with a Diamond Cutter. (78)

--Chavo Guerrero Jr is backstage with Mean Gene as he hypes his cruiserweight title defense versus Kidman at Fall Brawl. (60)

--Lance Storm and Mike Awesome come down to the ring with Storm wearing American flag tights as he takes a mic. Storm says that they are tired of waiting for Norman Smiley and Ernest Miller and they will be watching ringside tonight as they defend the tag team titles. (68)

WCW World Tag Team Title Match
--Ernest Miller and Norman Smiley def. Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore in 11:05 by pinfall following a Feliner on Karagias. (69) After the match, Storm and Awesome hit the ring with Miller and Smiley holding their own before they are separated by a couple of backstage officials. (66) Miller and Smiley make their 1st defence of the world tag team titles.

--Goldberg is on his way to the ring for a match when he is blindsided by Rick and Scott Steiner. The Steiners beat him down until Rob Van Dam comes down with a chair and chases the Steiners off. (94)

--A clearly irritated Goldberg w/Rob Van Dam def. Shane Douglas in 3:47 by pinfall with a Spear and Jackhammer. (88) For good measure, RVD helps Douglas back to his feet and Goldberg put him back down with another spear.

--Booker T drew with Ric Flair in 15:35 when referee Mickey Jay lost control of the match after it spilled outside the ring. (94) After the match, Dusty sends me a message that Flair debuted a new power spot that showcased his ability to sell well and that his psychology will be helped by being able to use it as a go-to spot in the future.

WCW World Heavyweight Title Match
--Scott Steiner def. Rick Steiner in 17:55 by submission after a Steiner Recliner. (80) Steiner makes his 4th defence of the world title.
