Nitro 219​

Nitro episode 219 took place from the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO and aired on November 29, 1999.

• Creative Control (w/ Curt Hennig) beat Booker T/Buff Bagwell to retain the WCW World Tag Team Titles
• Juventud Guerrera beat Jushin Thunder Liger to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title (this match actually happened on a Russo Nitro. Shame the entire match was the backdrop for a Buzzkill segment, Juvi won with a tequila bottle shot to the head, and Russo buried Liger as "some Japanese guy" in a segment before the match. At the time, NJPW ignored that this change, and next week's return to Liger, had ever happened. Wonder why?)
• Scott Hall beat Sid Vicious in a No Disqualification match to retain the WCW United States Title (Jeff Jarrett interfered)
• Jerry Only (w/ Vampiro) beat. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams (w/ Oklahoma) in a Steel Cage match (Williams threw Only through the cage. Also, that is Jerry Only, from the Misfits, and not a wrestler, let me remind you)
• Bret Hart beat Meng in a No Disqualification match to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Title (the Outsiders attacked both men for no reason and Chris Benoit made the save)
• Chris Benoit beat Jeff Jarrett and Sting in a WCW World Heavyweight Title #1 Contender's match (Dustin Rhodes interfered, and also Luger and Elizabeth were involved? Vince Russo)
• Goldberg beat Kevin Nash (w/ Scott Hall) (Sid and Bret Hart both interfered)

• Bret Hart/Chris Benoit beat the Outsiders and Goldberg/Sid in a Steel Cage match with Roddy Piper as special guest referee (Jeff Jarrett added some weapons to the match, somehow. Dumbfounding)
