Summary

The January 15th, 2001 episode of WCW Nitro features fallout from the WCW Sin 2001 PPV. That show featured a No Disqualification Tag Team Match between Totally Buffed, Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger, and DeWayne Bruce and Goldberg! Goldberg’s team ended up losing. Since he lost, Goldberg was forced to leave WCW. Now on WCW Monday Nitro, we proceed to have “The Funeral of Bill Goldberg!” They bring out a casket with a spear, a jackhammer, and Goldberg’s book. Totally Buffed and slew of other characters mock Goldberg and his career. This leads to Kevin Nash coming out and challenging Scott Steiner to a WCW World Heavyweight Championship Match in the main event. Also, Sid Vicious had one of the most horrific accidents in pro wrestling and broke his leg jumping off the top rope at WCW Sin. They show the entire gruesome footage of the leg snap! Plus, Ric Flair is in charge of the “new WCW” and is trying to recruit wrestlers to join his new group of Elite wrestlers. Chavo battles Crowbar, 3 Count wrestle The Filthy Animals, and Konnan faces off against Mike Awesome in a Hair vs Hair match! All this and more as the power struggle in WCW between CEO Ric Flair and Commissioner The Cat rolls on.
