Hello everyone welcome to the landmark 1000th episode of MONDAY NIGHT NITRO! WE ARE SOLD OUT HERE AT THE GEORGIA DOME. I'm Tony Schiavone, with me Living Legend Larry Zbysko, truly fans tonight will not only be one of the greatest nights in the history of professional wrestling but perhaps all sports.
Legend, we have Daniel Bryan and CM Punk facing off for the World Title in a triple threat match with Hollywood Hulk Hogan..... how can either one of them counter the threat of the NWO? They've run wild since invading our screens 16 years ago, causing havoc at all turns, they ended the career of Hunter Hearst Helmsley, they ran Randy Orton out of town, John Cena will never walk again, what possible chance do these 2 men now have?
And what of Sting? We know he's in the building, the Total Package Lex Luger has confirmed to us STING WILL MAKE SOME SORT OF IMPACT in regards to his son Daniel Bryan's title shot tonight.
*Larry Larry Larry Larry Larry chants*
Well thats all and good Tony but I think the main factor we're forgetting here is immediately following the title match the undefeated Goldberg has indicated he's gonna cash in his World War 3 title shot he earned by eliminating Cody Rhodes on whoever wins TONIGHT.... I think 260,332,030 win streak speaks for itself. There's so much going on I can't even believe that slime ball Bischoff along with his lacky Vinnie Mac can try and control it all.
Fans there you have it, later we'll have DDP vs Dolph Ziggler for the US title but right now we take you to ring announcer David Penzer as we go to our first contest for the WCW Television Title, its Glacier going up against 8 times champion Chris Benoit.
