Disorderly Conduct (Tough Tom and Mean Mike) vs. Steven Regal and David Taylor ends when Sid Vicious shows up and decimates Disorderly Conduct while tossing Regal and Taylor out of the ring. Charles Robinson shows up carrying a sign stating "The Record For The Millenium [sic] 73-0." Mean Mike gets a powerbomb, as does Tough Tom, and both men get pinned before Robinson drops some signs to update the count to 75-0. Sid says that as he stands with Charles Robinson, the tally goes higher and higher, and there is seemingly no end. Now, he will have to pick it up a little bit to bring up the number and the intensity to prove without a doubt that he is "The Millennium Man" and he has no equal. The game he plays is easy: two men enter, and only one man survives. He tells the crowd they can cheer for Goldberg until their eyes pop out of their head, and lets them do it. He says the fans will push him to do something he does not want to do, then he grabs Tough Tom and hits him with another powerbomb. Sid tells Robinson they will stick together and he will keep marching until he is on top of the world, for in the year 2000, only one man's name will be chanted - his - and that will be enough. He then tells us to remember "Sid...enough said." He then tells the crowd to shut up, then puts Mean Mike in another powerbomb.
A taxi cab shows up, and out comes Lenny and Lodi. Lenny and Lodi are not allowed in the building as rabid fans cheer them on.
We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Lex Luger. Luger says that in his 13-year friendship with Sting, he has been through United States and World title matches, and that tonight might be the most important night for himself, the fans and for Sting. He says that Hulk Hogan stood for everything good and right for a decade, but he has proven for the last three years that it was an absolute sham. He says he does not say hollow words, and tonight, he will produce irrefutable evidence of what a con man, sham and scammer that Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania are. He says the evidence is on its way to the building, and we will see what it is later.
It is announced that Berlyn has made his way to the arena. A black limousine is then seen pulling up to the arena, and two bodyguards are seen walking with the car to the side. Berlyn climbs out of the back seat of the car, and his translator, Uta Ludendorff, climbs out with him.
Scott Riggs pins Lash LeRoux. During the match, Vampiro and The Insane Clown Posse show up, and Vampiro says to Riggs "You owe me." Vampiro watches from the top rope as Riggs pins LeRoux. Vampiro tells Riggs "You owe me" again, and Riggs says he owes him nothing.
The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas) shows up. Shane Douglas asks the crowd if they are ready for a revolution, and if they agree with The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas) that it is time for a change in WCW. He says that his allies in The Revolution are all the real deal, as is himself. Saturn says that for a decade, the people have been watching Rick Steiner, and says it is about time to watch him lose. He wants to face him for the WCW World Television Championship. Benoit says that if there is anyone out there who thinks the road to the United States title is an easy road, all they have to do is come forward and let themselves be known, as it is all about experience and nothing speaks louder than that. He says The Revolution is an experience you do not want to hear from. Malenko says they will not stop until they get their just due, and they agree with one thing: out with the evolution, in with The Revolution.
We see another performance by The Nitro Girls. It is announced that there will be an 8-day event to find a new Nitro Girl. Each city will have two semi-finalist, and the final winner will be announced on November 8th, receive a $10,000 prize and receive an invitation to become the newest Nitro Girl.
Kaz Hayashi beats Lodi...or rather, Lenny. During the match, it is announced that WCW Mayhem is coming out in 26 days, 3 hours and 17 minutes. Also during the match, Lodi sends Hayashi into referee Billy Silverman leg-first. Lenny tries to get involved, but Hayashi pins Lenny with an inside cradle. Lenny and Lodi protest the win, but Kaz Hayashi still gets the win. Lenny and Lodi respond by hitting Hayashi with a double-team suplex. (At this point, Lenny is seen wearing a pink bow and pink ribbons on the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.)
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan says Hulkamania is running wilder than it has ever been. When he left this town, he was a champion, and he is more of a champion now that he is back. As he is talking, piano music can be heard briefly. He says that in the wrestling business, a lot of things have changed, but when it came down to the red and yellow and his son telling him to do what was right, he looked the Hulkamaniacs in the eyes. His word is his bond, and he will never stab Sting in the back. He does not know what Lex Luger is on about, and says he will be in the back being cool and eating fruit as he waits for the hard evidence that he is betraying Sting that Luger says that he has. He says he will not pull the trigger on Luger, but if Luger is trying to cause trouble between him and Sting and set him up for something, he'll kick Luger's ass. He told Sting it would be one-on-one between the two of them, and asks Sting what he is going to do when hulkamania runs wild on him.
Next week, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair will get VHS tapes in the Superstar Series courtesy of Time Warner Video. As this is announced, piano music can be heard again.
Rey Mysterio Jr. and Eddie Guerrero beat Blitzkrieg and La Parka. During the match, Vampiro and The Insane Clown Possse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) are seen watching the match from the entryway.
We see the video package for Berlyn again. "Mean" Gene Okerlund is in the ring when Berlyn finally arrives. Berlyn shows up with other men clad in black and with his interpreter Uta Ludendorff. One of the men in the ring pats down Okerlund, then everyone else gets in the ring. Okerlund speaks to Berlyn, who then speaks the answers in German, which is then translated by the interpreter, Uta Ludendorff. Berlyn says he has a message for WCW, and a knowledge of wrestling that the American wrestlers do not understand. He says that when American wrestlers wrestle, they are just wrestling, but when he wrestles, it is an art. He says he was built by a consortium of German businessmen and made into a machine, and that nobody builds better machines than the Germans. He is ready, and has chosen the first man he will destroy: Buff Bagwell. He says Bagwell represents everything America is all about: excess, narcissism and self-indulgence, and he will destroy him. When asked why he refuses to speak English, he says that he has been here before and speaks perfect English, but his language disgusts him and he refuses to speak it again. He then asks where Bagwell is, and says that in his country, losing is unacceptable.
A slightly mussed-about Lex Luger shows up from behind "Mean" Gene Okerlund and says that everything is happening exactly as he predicted it, for as he was sitting in the locker room, he was attacked from behind. When he came to, he claims to have seen the red and yellow of Hulk Hogan going through his bags and smashing out all the windows in his vehicle as he knows he has all the evidence to prove he is a phony.
The West Texas Rednecks (Barry and Kendall Windham) beat Kenny Kaos and Prince Iaukea. After the match, Kendall Windham asks if that is all WCW has for tag teams. Barry says that Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) are nothing as they have beaten them once and can beat them any day of the week. Curt Hennig says it took them one night to win the belts. As he speaks, Harlem Heat show up, brawl with the Windhams and quickly get the upper hand. Bobby Duncum Jr. shows up and hogties Booker T while the rest of the Rednecks take the boots to Stevie Ray.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Lex Luger again. Luger shows up with a manila envelope in his hands, and says he has pictures that prove that Hulk Hogan is scamming everyone. He asks Sting to come to the ring, as he says that Sting really needs to see this. Sting shows up, and Luger says he has irrefutable proof that Hogan is pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. He says that the white Hummer that rammed into Kevin Nash's limousine and nearly ended Nash's career was driven by Hogan, and he produces a picture of Hogan standing next to a white Hummer. Sting looks at the picture, and Luger says he has verified it. Hogan shows up, looks at the picture, and says it does not prove anything. He tells Luger that he is out of his mind, and tells Sting that he told him the truth and that he will not stab him in the back, and that he does not know what Luger is up to. Luger says everyone loves Hogan right now, but he had to expose him. As Sting asks Hogan if he was involved in Nash's injury, Hogan is attacked from behind Diamond Dallas Page, who is accompanied by Kanyon and Bam Bam Bigelow. Nevertheless, distrust is sown between Sting, Lex Luger and Hulk Hogan as security have to pull all three men away from each other.
We see a solo performance by AC Jazz of The Nitro Girls.
Buff Bagwell beats Van Hammer. During the match, Berlyn's entourage as well as his interpreter Uta Ludendorff are seen taking notes on Buff Bagwell.
We see the footage of the white Hummer hitting Kevin Nash's limousine, trapping Kevin Nash inside and causing great damage to Nash himself.
Evan Karagias beats Mike Enos. During the match, it is announced that WCW Mayhem will be released for Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 in 26 days, 1 hour and 57 minutes. Also during the match, Vampiro and The Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) show up, and ICP distracts referee Charles Robinson so that Vampiro can attack Mike Enos behind Robinson's back and allow Karagias the victory. After the match, Vampiro tells Karagias that he owes him. Suddenly, The Demon shows up, and tells Vampiro "Not here...not now...not this time."
Before the next match, Brian Knobbs asks Shane Douglas and Dean Malenko who made them the leaders of the revolution, and tells him to get in the ring with The First Family (Jimmy Hart, Knobbs, Hugh Morrus) so he can give them something to cry about.
The First Family (Hugh Morrus and Brian Knobbs) vs. The Revolution (Shane Douglas and Dean Malenko) ends in a double count-out. During the match, Jimmy Hart tries to strike Dean Malenko, who gets caught by Malenko, Malenko moves out of the way, and Knobbs tackles Hart instead.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan again. Hogan thanks the fans for sticking with him, and says he had to take a phone call and tell his son Nick that he would never stab him or Sting in the back. He does not know what Luger is up to, but next week, he is going to throw mud in his face and prove him wrong. He then says being WCW World Heavyweight Championship takes a lot, and says he is tired of Diamond Dallas Page calling him out every week. Tonight, he wants to get it on tonight with Diamond Dallas Page, but he knows Goldberg is advertised for the main event tonight, and asks Goldberg to come to the ring. Goldberg shows up, and Hogan says he knows what is up with Luger, but says DDP has crawled so far up inside of him that he cannot even think. He knows Goldberg is advertised, but he asks Goldberg to step aside so he can get a piece of DDP. Goldberg says it's a given that he wants to rip Goldberg's throat out, and since Hogan has a reason to do the same, he one-ups him by proposing that the two of them wipe out The Jersey Triad (Diamond Dallas Page, Kanyon, Bam Bam Bigelow) once and for all. All of a sudden, DDP shows up with Bigelow and Kanyon, and tells them that if they want a piece of the Triad, they've got it. Hogan then predicts that Goldberg and Hulkamania are not only going to rip the heads off the Triad, they will rip the roof off the building. Goldberg simply says to "tune it in and watch the massacre."
Before the next match, Disco Inferno introduces himself, calls himself a superstar, a sex symbol, a certified booty-shaking badass and an icon. He says he is "livin' la vida loca" and "all the girlies say he is pretty fly for a white guy." He then says that there is a guy trying to be just like him, and he is wearing his Television title. He calls Rick Steiner out, and tells him to bring the WCW World Television Championship with him. Rick Steiner shows up, and Disco tells him he may be the Television champ, but he is not an icon and that he needs to show that he is a man of respect. When he tells him to place the Television title on his waist where it belongs, Rick Stiener clubs Disco in the back of the head with a forearm.
Rick Steiner quickly retains the WCW World Television Championship against Disco Inferno, then tosses referee Mickey Jay out of the ring and continues to punch Disco Inferno in the back of his ribs. Perry Saturn runs into the ring and fights Rick Steiner, and manages to superkick Rick Steiner out of the ring.
"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Jerry Flynn after he is attacked by the rest of The First Family (Brian Knobbs, The Barbarian, Hugh Morrus). The rest of The Revolution (Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Shane Douglas) rushes in to save Benoit. Benoit says there is no reason why Jimmy Hart is stepping of the toes of The Revolution, and that there is only way to settle this. Benoit then calls out Sid Vicious for interfering in other people's matching and decimating them, and dares him to get in the ring with him and find out what it is like to be on the losing end. He then tells Sid that he will have to powerbomb him more than once if he wants to be United States Champion.
Hulk Hogan and Goldberg beat The Jersey Triad (Diamond Dallas Page, Kanyon, Bam Bam Bigelow). DDP hits Goldberg in the bat with a steel chair and hits him with a Diamond Cutter, but Hogan hits Bam Bam Bigelow with a leg drop and gets the pinfall under DDP's nose.
Backstage, Sting finds "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Gorgeous George in Hulk Hogan's dressing room.
