WCW Nitro #55: September 30th, 1996. (Rewatched 16 May 2020).

We're back again with another episode of WCW Nitro in Snubie's WCW Rewatch! Today, we're checking out WCW Nitro #55. This episode took place at the CSU Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio. This episode is off of last week's "nWo Monday Nitro", and we're seeing WCW stars come back from Japan for business as usual Nitro.  The nWo wasn't present on screen much in this episode, they seemed to generally be hanging out in a hotel, doing "business" stuff.  So, let's get into the show!

The Show:

Intro
- Bischoff talks about last week, when the nWo took over.  He talks about the pride of WCW, and the history of WCW, and how the nWo doesn't respect their tradition.

WCW World Tag Team Title Match: The Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge & Rocco Rock) (c) defeated El Technico & Juventud Guerrera (2:06)
- Interesting note, El Technico was actually just Billy Kidman in a mask.

Singles Match: Alex Wright defeated Dean Malenko (5:17)
- Alex Wright isn't dancing yet.  But, I'm still excited for this match.  And Wright got a quick win in!

Singles Match: Eddie Guerrero defeated Jim Powers (w/ Teddy Long) (6:27)
- Jim Powers back again this week, looks like WCW likes this dude.

Nasty Boys Promo
- Next up, a promo back stage with the Nasty Boys coming to visit Hogan.

Singles Match: Hugh Morrus defeated Brad Armstrong (4:15)
- A fun little match, nothing to right home about.

Singles Match: Arn Anderson (w/ Woman) defeated Chris Jericho (5:35)
- Yeah, 90's Chris Jericho!  I am loving how hard WCW is pushing him.  They were smart to do so.

Singles Match: Lex Luger defeated M. Wallstreet (7:23)
- Another short and sweet match.

Tag Team Match: The Faces Of Fear (Meng & The Barbarian) (w/ Jimmy Hart) defeated The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) (8:25)
- I love watching these teams brawl.  WCW had some solid tag teams back in the day.

Singles Match: Chris Benoit (w/ Debra & Steve McMichael) defeated Rick Steiner (4:25)
- I can't stand Chris Benoit.  Everyone already knows why.

nWo Promo
- The show ends with an nWo promo with Miss Elizabeth at the hotel of the nWo.  She seemed uncomfortable but Hogan was trying to talk her into joining.  A package showed up.  Macho Man is shown running through the hall.  He starts yelling at Miss Elizabeth about "what her deal is", then the show ends.
