Actually that happened before the scheduled main event which was supposed to be Bret Hart vs. Sting for the U.S. Title but they ended up just fighting backstage an no actual match took place.

 

CRZ recap for the Disciple/Lane match and one of the lamer angles in Nitro history:

 

THE BRAND NEW DISCIPLE v. LENNY LANE (no entrance) - Lane undoes his ponytail and shags out his hair, then he does a Warrioresque running job, then he shakes the top rope and beats his chest - and that's the highlight of the match. You know, I've ALWAYS thought that Disciple was more of a "third hour of Nitro" kinda wrestler. Is the crowd BOOING Disciple? We can only hope. (Stone Cold Apocalypse -> pin 2:08) He gets the mic. "I got something to say - Hollywood! I'm all done carrying your bags, I'm through, I'm my own man now - now and forever!" I think just afterwards, he said, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get Warrior's bags!" As he walks away, the cameraman feels compelled to follow him, mostly because Hogan and Bischoff are hot on his tail. Some more of that exciting low-speed walking ends at the dressing room, where Disciple apparently vanishes - lucky for us, the image of Warrior appears in the mirror - Hogan can see it, we can see it, the commentators all see it, but apparently Bischoff CAN'T see it. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this is the LAMEST thing they've ever put on Nitro. I mean, this is lamer than the giant ice cube containing the Giant Ninja Yeti exploding when the Taskmaster shouted a lot. Lamer than Loch Ness waddling into the ring. Lamer than...damn, this was lame.
