Before the next match, Raven tells the referee that if he's going to wrestle for WCW tonight, it will be on his terms: no disqualifications. Stevie Richards is okay with this caveat, which is quickly made a stipulation for the match.

We see a history of The Ultimate Dragon, who trained and worked in Mexico after being rejected in Japan by New Japan Pro Wrestling. During his journey, he won the J-Crown and has since arrived in World Championship Wrestling, and has claimed the WCW World Television Championship after splitting from Sonny Onoo. His association with Japan, Mexico and America caused a slight mistranslation in his name: in America, he goes by the name "The Ultimate Dragon" which means "The greatest or most extreme dragon," while in Japan and Mexico, he goes by "Ultimo Dragon," which means "The Last Dragon". It is explained that he is the last student of Bruce Lee. His Bruce Lee kicks have propelled him onto the verge of stardom. From this point forward, he now goes by the name Ultimo Dragon.

Psychosis, Villano IV, Villano V and Silver King beat Super Calo, Lizamark Jr. Hector Garza and Juventud Guerrera after Sonny Onoo grabs Psychosis' feet to stop Super Calo's inverted head scissors from the top rope dead in its tracks.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Dinner & A Movie chef Claud Mann and and host Paul Gilmartin, who introduces the Macho Nachos, Macho Mayo, Savage Garden Salad, Macho Gazpacho, "nWokra" and WCW Cream Puffs. It all turns out to be a swerve from the two men from Dinner and a Movie, who reveal themselves to be members of the nWo. "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up, says that Claud and Paul have passed the test and are nWo "4 Lyfe," and that the party has been catered for the nWo. He says that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan couldn't be here tonight as he is shooting a movie. We then see footage from Dinner and a Movie were Savage made a guest appearance as he announces that he and Scott Hall will take care of Diamond Dallas Page and Lex Luger. An nWo cake is then seen on the table, and the sparklers on it are lit as Claud and Paul make fun of DDP, saying that he's a pantywaist and that he's afraid and hasn't made it into the building. DDP shows up and trashes the Dinner & a Movie set before laying Paul Gilmartin out with a Diamond Cutter.
Lee Marshall calls from Columbia, South Carolina - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Curt Hennig beat Syxx and Konnan. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Flair and Hennig after the match, and Hennig simply says "No" and "That's right," on whether or not he is a Horseman, neither confirming or denying that he is a Horseman.
During "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Scott Hall's entrance, black and white balloons drop down into the aisle as Savage and Hall are accompanied by the rest of the nWo. Kevin Nash announces that tonight, Macho Man will be defending the World Tag Team Titles, making this a tag title match.
Scott Hall and "Macho Man" Randy Savage retain the WCW World Tag Team Championships against Lex Luger and Diamond Dallas Page after Page is blinded by Savage before he inadvertently hits Luger with a Diamond Cutter. Pamphlets with the nWo logo reading "The 1st Year: Toooo Sweeet!" drop down from the top of the arena after the match. After the commercial break, the nWo heads to the ring. Eric Bischoff says when it rains, it pours, and then asks everyone to wish the nWo a happy birthday. He then tells Scott Hall it is an honor just to know him, and says that what Kevin Nash taught him couldn't fit into a single volume. Bischoff, however, feels the New World Order did not get what they deserve as they have yet to get their own show and if it wasn't for them, nobody would be at the show tonight. Bischoff says "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan sends his love, but requests bigger limousines and bigger Lear jets. Suddenly, a synth riff can be heard, and the lights dim in and out. Sting is seen in the rafters carrying a buzzard. We then hear a message that sou "When a man's heart is full of deceit, it burns up, dies, and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once-great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for our vindicator, someone to strike fear into the hearts of the same men who created him. The battel between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes a dark warrior, a prevailer of good, for a voice of silence, and a mission of justice. This...is...Sting." The lights go out, and when they come back on, the buzzard is seen perched on the top rope, much to the confusion of the New World Order.
