"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Eric Bischoff, who says J.J. Dillon should have learned from him that sometimes, you don't want to give ultimatums, as they can sometimes bite you back in the ass. He tells Dillon to "bite me" and that WCW's ship will have to fly without Sting. It is announced that Dillon is live via telephone , and Dillon tells Bischoff that he may be jumping to conclusions as the fans have told WCW that Sting wants "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and that WCW has listened. Dillon officially promises that between now and the end of the year, there will be a match between Sting and Hogan. Bischoff is livid about this decision, saying this match will never happen because he says so and that Hogan has title defenses all over the world and movies and appearances to make. He calls Dillon "a fat tub of goo" and says that if Hogan wanted Sting, he'd take him in an instant. As he speaks, Sting shows up, gets in the ring, stands behind Bischoff and grabs him by the jacket collar. Bischoff begs for mercy, then Sting pulls out a "Hollywood Rules" shirt before covering Bischoff's head with it and pushing him to the mat with his foot. He pulls the shirt off, then stuffs it in Bischoff's mouth, much to the delight of the crowd. For the first time in many months, Sting smiles, then surveys and points the crowd while circling the ring.
We get another message from Raven: "We all commit certain acts in our lives of an unsavory nature. Some bad, some worse, some unspeakable. Sometimes we suffer in silence, sometimes we seek redemption. He's got what he wanted, but in attaining salvation, there's a price that must be paid. One must give up a bit of one's self. The road where - the end of the road, as it is - may not be quite what you expect. The glowing light at the end of the tunnel may not be the beacon of righteousness you envisioned. It may be some horribly disfigured fun house reflection of your own inner dreams. Quoth the Raven, nevermore."
We see a performance from The Nitro Girls.
Psychosis and La Parka beat Glacier and "The Cat" Ernest Miller after La Parka smacks Glacier in the back with a wooden chair while the referee is preoccupied with Miller. All of a sudden, Ultimo Dragon shows up and confronts Sonny Onoo. Silver King shows up and gets jumped by Dragon, and turns around when Onoo is about to attack him. Psychosis and La Parka then go on the attack, Onoo lands a karate kick, then Glacier and Miller fight with the luchadors after Silver King attacks Ultimo Dragon some more.
Despite feeling the effects of the post-match attack of the last match, Ultimo Dragon beats Silver King with the Dragon Sleeper.
Immediately after the previous match, Scott Hall, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth show up. Hall says everyone know by now that you can't have a party unless you invite the nWo. The three of them were talking in the back and know that they're the reason everyone is here tonight and everyone else is watching at home, as everyone wants to be a part of the nWo. Hall takes the opportunity to welcome their newest member, who helped them at Clash of the Champions: Diamond Dallas Page. Page doesn't show up, and Savage says he voted "no" for DDP, but the nWo didn't have a weak link, so it's cool that he's in. Savage says that Luger went to the very top, but ever since Road Wild, he's been in a slump. He then calls Luger out, and says he will punk him out. Hall tells Luger he doesn't have a friend in WCW or in Columbia, South Carolina.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Glacier! The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner)! Eddie Guerrero! Steve "Mongo" McMichael! The New World Order!
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Diamond Dallas Page. Page says that to join the nWo with "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Scott Hall is ridiculous, and equally ludicrous is the belief that he hit Lex Luger with the Diamond Cutter on purpose. He says everyone knows what he has went through to get to where he is, and that this is why Luger was his tag team partner. After the match, he could not get a hold of Luger, and he still has yet to do so as Luger isn't even in the building as of ten minutes ago. Page says Luger is a stand up guy, and if he shows up, they can straighten everything out and settle this like men, and not like low-lifes like Savage and Hall.
Jeff Jarrett beats "The Crippler" Chris Benoit after he reverses a successful superplex from Benoit into an inside cradle. During the match, it is announced that Lex Luger is in the building, but did not show up when Diamond Dallas Page called him out.
We see another performance from The Nitro Girls.
The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) beat Mortis and Wrath after Meng pins Mortis with the Tongan Death Grip. Wrath and Meng fight after the match, and pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael). Flair brings out Curt Hennig to see once and for all if he is a part of the Four Horsemen. Hennig shows up, and Flair demands an answer. Hennig says he'd love to give that answer, but he's not ready to give that answer tonight. Flair then tells Hennig that, in anticipation of that answer, he has brought someone to town tonight to talk to him: "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, who hasn't been seen in the last couple of months. He says the thunderous applause from the crowd makes what he has to say mean that much more, as four months ago, four vertebrae were removed from his spine, leaving his left hand too weak to hold a glass or button a button, and the other day at the gym, someone the same size as Okerlund slapped him on the back asking where he had been, causing his left side to go completely numb. He now knows that he puts himself in a "suicide situation" if he tries to wrestle again, and that he can potentially risk the careers of Benoit and Mongo. Anderson says he would rather walk away than put his life in danger, and thanks the fans for all their support over the years, saying he gave it all he had in the ring and that he has has nothing left to give now. He asks to be remembered as he was, not as he is, and challenges Hennig to stand beside his best friend Ric Flair and lead The Four Horsemen back to the prosperity they once had. He gives Hennig not a spot in the Horsemen, but his spot as the enforcer of The Four Horsemen. Hennig says it would be a privilege, and Hennig shakes hands with the Horsemen as he is confirmed as a member of the group.
Steve "Mongo" McMichael retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Eddie Guerrero.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Rey Mysterio, Jr., who hobbles his way down the ramp. Rey wishes he was out here wrestling, but his knee is really bad. He made a mistake taking on Konnan at Road Wild, as Konnan wants to end his career. Tomorrow, he will see Jim Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama, and get news on what's wrong with his knee. Konnan shows upand says Rey only talks about what he's going to do and tells him to get himself a Happy Meal and call it a night before he breaks his other leg. Konnan kicks at Rey's hurt leg, and threatens to rip his mask off. The Giant approaches Konnan from behind, and when Konnan runs into him, he flees. Rey tells Konnan that WCW is his real family.
Eric Bischoff shows up, this time sneaking up from behind on the commentary team. He kicks Mike Tenay and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and guests on commentary, reminding "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko not to get within 50 feet of him. He guests on commentary for the rest of the night.
Chris Jericho beats Yuji Nagata with the elevated Boston Crab, now known as the Lion Tamer.
Lee Marshall calls from Pensacola, Florida - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Miss Jacqueline and Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray). Jacqueline is confirmed as the third member of Harlem Heat who will watch their backs from now on. As for who is #1 contenders for the tag team titles, Booker T gives The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) their just due, but he and Stevie Ray are seven-time tag champs, and he asks them to step to the side and do what they have to do to The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) as they are three the hard way. As Stevie Ray says that they never had to go to Japan or the WWF (up north, as he calls it) to get a reputation, The Steiners and Ted DiBiase show up. Scott Steiner say The Outsiders consider themselves the two luckiest guys on the face of the earth, and tells Harlem Heat they got the job done. Vicious and Delicious (Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell) and Vincent show up. Buff Bagwell tells The Steiners that The Outsiders beat them in the middle, tells Harlem Heat they can't beat the Steiners, and tells both teams they can't beat him and Norton. This leads to The Steiners and Harlem Heat fighting Vicious and Delicious and Vincent on the entrance ramp.
We see another performance from The Nitro Girls.
