We see footage of Brian Knobbs looking for Fit Finley on a nature path. It becomes clear that Finley is whipping Knobbs into shape like some sort of army recruit.

(In reality, Juvi and Jerry Flynn were arrested for driving under the influence, forcing him to no-show this week.)

Psychosis defends the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship in the place of Juventud Guerrera for the next match.
Jushin "Thunder" Liger beats Psychosis to win back the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. (The scripting of the defenses of the title from last week and this week is so embarrassing to New Japan Pro Wrestling that they refuse to mention it themselves, much less acknowledge it, and the Japanese sports media does not even cover it as a result. Juventud Guerrera's seven day reign, which includes Psychosis' substitute title defense and loss, is not officially recognized by NJPW until 2007.) During the match, it is announced that three new entries in the WCW Superstars Series, Sid Vicious: The Millennium Man, Sting II: Back In Black, and the Nitro Girls swimsuit special are all officially available on VHS.

Before the next match, The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Asya) shows up dressed in all back, and Douglas says they have a bone to pick with the fans tonight, as he has his constitutional right to do whatever he wants too do with the American flag. He says The Revolution did not turn their backs on America; instead, America turned its backs on them. He says that they can call him an asshole all they want, but it is their fault.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper is seen ranting about his match with Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald) backstage.
The Nitro Party segment is back, and we see a video from a fan from Peoria, Illinois. We then see a woman in a tanktop, blue jeans, black hair and black lipstick named Daffney Unger, and it becomes evident by the professional-looking nature of the video that this is a vignette, and not actually real Nitro party footage. She says that she loves all the superstars of WCW and has always wanted to host a Nitro Party and thinks David Flair is totally cool (as pictures of David Flair can be seen in the background). She is also seen rocking back and forth, much like David Flair from earlier.
Before the next match, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper tells Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald) to get in the ring, as he is the referee according to the powers that be, and until the bell rings, they have to do what he says. He pats down one member of Creative Control and threatens to disqualify the team unless the other member complies. After both men are hilariously patted down, he announces that the next match is an "I Quit" Match, then kicks one member of Creative Control in the groin when he says there are no rules.

Meng gets back in the ring, but gets nailed in the head with a guitar by Jarrett. Kevin Nash then hits Dustin Rhodes with a Jackknife Power Bomb.
Vince Russo asks "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko why he thinks Thunder sucks. He says that is because the powers that be are putting it together, as there are no stars on the show and that there are nothing but B-players. Vince says that will all change next week, as all the A-players will be on the show next week, and that he is so happy about the announcement, he will be changing the announce team after Zbyszko has taken so many shots at him. Zbyszko says the announce team is the only part that makes any sense, and that he is still on the announce table because after 25 glorious years of getting beat to a pulp and being cheered for at the announce table, it is all worth it. He says he doesn't need the job and that he will not be one of his "jump through the hoop jerks" like Curt Hennig, whom he says is so beaten up now that he could not beat Midnight two weeks ago. Vince Russo then puts Zbyszko and Hennig in a match, and if Zbyzsko loses, he is fired. Zbysko calls this "a lopsided coin" and says that if he wins, then Vince Russo should be the one to leave. Vince Russo accepts, saying this will never happen, and tells Zbyszko to leave the office.

"The Enforcer" Arn Anderson then shows up and hits both Shane and Hennig with a baseball bat, and Zbyszko gets on top of Hennig to win the match and kick out the powers that be.

Recently, he has heard that he wanted out of his contract with WCW because he wanted to go to the WWF. He then says that you leave with who brought you to the dance. He says it's about loyalty and doing the right thing, but people around him haven't done the right thing and have not been loyal. He is now out for #1 again, and that is all right with him.
