This week on Late to the Nitro Party we watch Nitro from 04/29/96.  On this episode we see Jimmy Heart and Harlem Heat play catch with a towel during a match with Sting and Luger.  Fire N' Ice clash with the Steiners,  Regal and the Belfast Bruiser vandalize multiple vehicles with each others skulls, and Flair defends his title against the Giant!

This week of rasslin goodness starts the way last week ended.  We review WCW Nitro from 02/19/96 where the show kicks off with a Hogan vs. Arn Anderson rematch.  This match involves some confusing run ins but who's trying to figure this stuff out anyways?  Loch ness then wrestles, if that's what you want to call it, Alex Wright.  We have the Nitro debut of Fit Finlay, then known as "The Belfast Bruiser.  He and his glorious mullet will take on Brad Armstrong and his equally glorious mullet!  The main event puts Savage against Flair.  This match involves all kinds of nonsensical interference and ends with Ed Leslie as "The Booty Man" channeling the gods and saving the day.  At least we get some more antics at the announcer booth at the end which has Hogan really trying to get over Leslie's Booty gimmick.

This week on Late to the Nitro Party we sit back and take a look at WCW Nitro from 03/25/96. This is the show immediately following Uncensored '96. We get to see the Belfast Bruiser make Randy Savage look like a million bucks. The Mexican/US champ Konnan goes at it with a returning MR J.L. Disco Inferno tries selling his new hit album before being met with Ed Leslie's “Heine”. At least Kimberly is there to save the match. The “can we trust Luger” saga continues. Then in the main event we see Ric Flair defending his title against the Giant in which there is an interesting finish. So join us and let us guide you through the another week! Oh, and Hogans not there.

Nitro swings for the fences this week with a brutal parking lot brawl featuring Lord Steven Regal and The Belfast Bruiser! The tag team championship is defended by Sting and Lex Luger when they square off with Harlem Heart! And the main event sees a Giant-sized (get it?) shake up at the top of the card! We'll take you through all of the action right here where the big boys play!!!

It's a week of huge rematches, or return matches in WCW parlance. Hulk Hogan looks to avenge last week's shocking loss to Arn Anderson while Randy Savage seeks to overcome to the presence of his ex-wife, Miss Elizabeth, while recapturing the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Loch Ness is in action, the Belfast Bruiser debuts and much much more!!
