WCW Week of October 9, 2000
Nitro Limo arrives at the arena and out steps... Jarrett dressed as surfer Sting? To his credit, he's a splitting image of him practically. We're live this week from the Brisbane Entertainment Center in Brisbane, Australia, apparently the first Nitro outside of North America. They're also using the Thunder set for this show, oddly enough, and it seems to be a full house. Schiavone welcomes us to the show as we get to our first match. "Primetime" Elix Skipper vs Rey Mysterio Jr. (w/ Tygress) Pre-Match : Immediately there's audio issues. No ring introductions as Skipper comes out, and Rey comes out while Elix's music is still playing. Penzer's mic audio isn't working properly either when he eventually is heard. Commentary are also oddly quiet for these entrances. More botches as Schiavone calls Elix the Cruiserweight Champion. Stevie Ray has replaced Hudson on commentary for unknown reasons as Tygress joins them. Bit of back and forth, then a shovin...
