WCW Monday Night Nitro - Monday, October 2nd, 1995
- Savage/Luger tonight, where if Luger loses than he is out of WCW. I personally think using the whole "I lose, I’m gone" type of match is way too early considering Luger is only about five weeks in WCW.
- Also note, that Luger has yet to get a clean win... he's such a huge addition... DQ with Hogan and lost to Meng, sure with the spike, but still. He must be getting a World Title run with all of this jobbing.
- We are live from Denver, Colorado for the best one hour of wrestling in the world.
- Luger/Savage, and Flair/Anderson are the double main event.
