Tonight's episode is one hour due to the NBA Playoffs. Tony Schiavone, "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are on commentary for the show.
Tonight's show begins with Ric Flair winning his 13th World Heavyweight Championship against Vader, as Ric Flair returns to the ring in a few days.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair show up to start tonight's show, but instead of walking to the ring, they walk to the commentary table. They say that the New World Order are angry with them for "not filling the potholes." Piper says he doesn't want to wait until Slamboree to take them on. Instead, he wants the nWo to bring it tonight or not at all. Flair says they're ready to go as he dares the nWo to stay up all night and dance a little longer.
We see pre-recorded comments from Jeff Jarrett, who proclaims that Dean Malenko's 1,000 holds means 1,001 counters to him and that he will earn Malenko's respect like he did with The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael) as he beats him for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship.
Dean Malenko retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Prince Iaukea with the Texas Cloverleaf.
Syxx retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Juventud Guerrera with the Buzzkiller.
Lee Marshall calls from Lakeland, Florida - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Syxx show up, and they walk to the commentary table this time. Hall says they were sitting in the back when they heard "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper wanted a piece of them. He tells them "whatever" as he says nobody cares what they have to say, as everyone in Norfolk, Virginia is here for the New World Order. Nash says that in Charlotte, North Carolina, they have no problem giving them the beating of their lives, and it will be for 75% of the gate (ticket and merchandise sales) as "it don't come cheap." He also says that they miss "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. When the commentators return, it is mentioned that Nash wanted 75% of the gate so that they could get out of the match, thinking that WCW would not meet that kind of demand.
"Lord" Steven Regal beats "The Crippler" Chris Benoit by disqualification when The Taskmaster, Jimmy Hart and Jacqueline show up and The Taskmaster attacks Benoit from behind. This escalates into a brawl between Benoit and The Taskmaster, and after Benoit kicks The Taskmaster in the groin, Jacqueline jumps on Benoit only to be pulled off by Woman. Meng gets a death grip on Benoit, and even "Lord" Steven Regal can't beat Meng off of Benoit. Meng finally drops the hold after Woman and The Taskmaster stare a hole through him. Woman then tends to Benoit.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth tell Diamond Dallas Page that Savage and Page are on the road to disaster, and that Page is in his world. He then says that Kimberly will find out that DDP won't be able to handle him, and that Kimberly is dreaming about him and not Page because she has class "with a capital K." He tells Page that he will realize he should have never knocked on his door, and that he and Kimberly can't handle him.
Lex Luger and The Giant beat The Amazing French Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet) with a choke slam to Rougeau and a Torture Rack to Ouellet.
Steve "Mongo" McMichael beats The Barbarian with a steel Halliburton briefcase shot to The Barbarian's head as Debra McMichael distracts the referee.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair show up again, and this time they're ready to fight, saying it is time to fix what is not yet broken. They call out The New World Order. Flair says he doesn't know if he can beat Kevin Nash or Scott Hall, but he can beat Syxx as he's gotten the World Heavyweight Championship "more times than Syxx has had pieces of ass." The New World Order music plays, but when it turns off, papers fall from the top of the arena, with "Tradition bites! nWo 4 life" printed on them. Suddenly, Hall, Nash and Syxx show up, and Syxx rushes to wards the ring only to run right into Flair. Hall and Nash try to get the jump on Flair, but they both get punched in the groin and Flair puts Syxx in the Figure Four Leg Lock. Hall and Nash eventually recover and all three men gang up on him. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper takes off his belt and swings it at all three members of The New World Order to end the show.
