"Iron" Mike Tenay guests on commentary for the next match.

Rey Mysterio Jr. retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against The Ultimate Dragon.

Tonight, on the WCW Hotline: news regarding some individuals spotted at Hog Wild that may have an effect on who we see joining the New World Order!

Scott "Flash" Norton beats an injured Ice Train by submission with an armbar.

We hear from "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who says that he has "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson's back. He thought that the New World Order (Hall, Nash, Hulk Hogan) and The Four Horsemen (Flair, Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael) would be able to coexist, but this was before Anderson was attacked. He says he will stand for WCW, and if The New World Order want to make their mark, they have their chance.

The referee gives Madusa the win.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) chat with fans on CompuServe, and CompuServe members can join in by typing "go convention." Rick looks more like he is playing an on-line game, however.

"The Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Dean Malenko after two restarts due to an initial 30-minute draw and a first five-minute overtime leading into a second one after Woman distracts Malenko and Benoit grabs the rope while Woman scratches Malenko's eyes.

We see the superstars of WCW get on their bikes and ride down the highway, and also spend some time in Sturgis, South Dakota.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair retinas the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship after Eddie Guerrero's shoulders are down for the three count during the Figure Four Leg Drop after Eddie hurts his knee on the frog splash and Flair grabs onto Woman's hands during the Figure Four.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Giant and Jimmy Hart. Hart tells Hulk Hogan is a giant step for him, and if he trips and falls, nobody will be there to pick him up. The Giant says he saw Hulk Hogan's true colors long before anyone else did, and when Hulk Hogan told the fans to stick it, it reminded him of the pain Hogan caused him. Tonight, he gets to be the one to stick it by driving him into the ring with a choke slam and laying him to rest.

The Outsiders (Hall and Nash) beat Sting and Lex Luger after referee Nick Patrick is hit in the eye by Hall's boot during a Torture Rack attempt and gives what seems like a faster count than usual.

Hulk Hogan - now known as "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan - beats The Giant for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship after The Outsiders (Hall and Nash) distract The Giant and Hogan hits The Giant with the title belt while the referee isn't looking. A birthday cake is brought out for Hogan, and The Booty Man shows up along with it dressed in all black and a New World Order shirt. Hogan says that the New World Order is the way to go, and The Booty Man congratulates Hogan on becoming the nWo World Heavyweight Championship before wishing him a happy birthday. He then puts his hand out and thanks Hogan for being there for him for 22 years. Hogan tells The Booty Man he's loved him like he's loved his own blood, and seeing him in a New World Order is something special. He says that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair will get the beating of his life in Denver, and says the New World Order is so powerful is because they never mix business with friendship or pleasure, saying that Flair showed his downcard for showing feeling for Flair. He tells Hogan that this, however, is a special occasion, and he mixes business with friendship or pleasure by attacking The Booty Man. He then tells Flair that was business and his best friend, and if he can do that to his best friend, it can only be imagined what will happen to Flair. It is then revealed what the present placed on the cake was all along: a can of black spraypaint, which Hogan uses to spraypraint "nWo" on the WCW World Heavyweight Championship as Nash holds it in his hands. Hogan spits on The Booty Man as he leaves with Hall and Nash.
