Well they had foolishly signed a deal with KISS to put The Demon in a certain number of main events. I remember a couple times him wrestling in so called "special main event" in the middle of Nitro to fulfill the contract.

 

Anyways here are the recaps to the matches you mentioned. Watts match is by Scott Keith and the Demon match is by CRZ:

 

Buff Bagwell v. Erik Watts. Well, it's wrestling. Sort of. Two

minutes of posing leads to a Watts sneak attack. Bagwell hits his

pathetically limited offense for a bit, but a urinage turns the tide.

Kick, punch, pose from Watts. And a standing moonsault, which looked

ridiculous, but I appreciate the thought. Chinlocks for everyone!

They've got more than enough to go around. Our hero Buff makes the

miraculous comeback, however, much to my relief, and comes back with the

Blockbuster...but Ernest Miller runs in. Apparently the ref managed to

finish the count, however, so Bagwell wins by pinfall. Whew. I was

afraid that 10 minutes might have been wasted or something. 1/4*

 

 

BOOKA T (with iWatch logo and Let Us Take You Back to Nitro...and Following Nitro) and (THIS IS) STING and KRONYKK v. THE PAINT JOBBERS (with Let Us Take You Back to Nitro) and JEDOUBLEF JADOUBLEREDOUBLET - Get this - Kronic can't even spell their own team name (their homemade T's say "Kronik"). Sheesh, are five separate entraces really necessary? Ray pronounces it own lahk neckbone as a Pier Eight brawl erupts. The ring clears of all but Booker and Jarrett - off the ropes, duck, Harlem sidekick hits. Right, into the ropes, roundhouse misses as Jarrett holds onto the ropes, then pulls himself outside. Muta hits the ring and surprises T. Snapmare takeover, off the ropes with the wacky elbow. Stomp. Mist! Stomp. Stomp. Apparently, Sting chaired Vampiro - but we didn't see it. Adams in the ring, full nelson on Muta - into a chokeslam. Off the ropes, clothesline for Vampiro. Clark joins Adams and they give Muta High Time. Adams covers - referee "Blind" Jamie Tucker decides that THEY are the legal men and counts 1, 2, 3. (1:24) Ahh, Muta has quickly learned the ways of Vampiro quickly, hasn't he? Demon dropkicks Adams out of the ring. Now all seven men are outside. We watch Demon pound on Adams - then we look back to the aisle where CAT has appeared and is throttling Muta with his black belt. Back to Adams, who has turned the tide against Demon and is calling over Clark. They have designs on the table...but Jarrett breaks it up. Kronic turns to Jarrett and pound on him - they'll put HIM through the table. Tucker grabs Adams in an attempt to stop this - so Kronic decide to put HIM through the table instead. Remember, these guys are the FACES. Referee "Blind" Mark Johnson runs out and disqualifies both members of Kronic. Yeah! That's where it gets ya! (call it - around 3:00) So now we've got five men in the ring...but Johnson wants this to follow some semblance of order and the ring is cleared of all but Jarrett and Sting. WHOOOOOOOSH New Blood Rising 11 Days Away. Jarrett off the ropes with the Boss Man straddle. T threatens to come in while Tenay proclaims this "a rivalry for the ages," but I'm not buying it JUST yet. Here's a brief Stevie Ray impersonation, from me to you: "Hey, Tony - lemme ask you something. Mike - Mike - lemme ask you something." Tag to Demon - open shot. Right. Into the ropes, Vampiro ends up falling off the apron when Sting bounces, since he's not paying attention to what's going on behind him - what a goof. Demon's back elbow finds the mark. Tag to Vampiro - right hand. Headbutt. Right, right, into the opposite corner is reversed, double clothesline and both men are down. Stevie Ray wants to ask another question. At 7, Sting makes the tag to Booker T. Right for Vampiro, right for Demon, clothesline for Vampiro, clothesline for Demon, Harlem sidekick for Vampiro, pounding on Vampiro until Demon gets him from behind. Elbow, Booker with a knee to the gut, off the ropes with the axe kick, breakdancing back up, Jarrett is on the top turnbuckle and flies - but T catches him! Before he can deliver the Book End, however, Demon makes the save. Jarrett rolls out of the ring and takes off up the aisle. T fights back against Demon - Vampiro from behind. Now Sting is over to Vampiro...it's all breaking down again. Sting puts Vampiro into position while T ducks a clothesline and HE puts DEMON into position. Simultaneous Scorpion Death Drop/Book End, double cover, well *I* thought the legal men were T and Vampiro, but Johnson decides all four men are legal and counts a double pinfall. (6:05) Booker T's music plays and he and Sting are announced the winners. Umm...Jarrett wasn't eliminated...? Booker climbs the corner, gives Jarrett a faraway look - but the credits are up and we're out.
