Scott Steiner says he had to break his own "freaks," as when he looks into the crowd, all he sees are "overfed, overweight, cornbread heffers" that the locals call women. Ron and Don Harris are officially made members of The New World Order, then Jarrett takes the microphone again. He congratulates Sid Vicious for his victory last week on Thunder, and announces that Sid will face him at SuperBrawl, and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship will come back to the nWo. From now until SuperBrawl, he will make Sid's life a living hell, and he will start with a six-man tag match with him and The Harris Brothers (Ron and Don Harris), and says he will pick the two partners who will watch Sid's back, as the nWo is like a pack of wolves and they will be like that tonight. He then announces that he will run the show on the up and up just like Kevin Nash, and announces to the guys in the back that he will take bribes.

As he speaks, Big T and Atevie Ray show up. J. Biggs then says that his clients are very generous and benevolent, and they have collaborated to create something appropriate for him, which sounds nothing like the Harlem Heat (Stevie Ray, Big T, J. Biggs) theme. J. Biggs says it is "meaningless music for a meaningless person [like Booker T]." He also states that the T in the name "Booker T" can no longer be used as he is no longer a member of Harlem Heat and because the T is owned by Harlem Heat. f he continues to use the letter T, he will be found guilty of copyright infringement. Stevie Ray then tells Booker T that Harlem Heat belongs to him and Big T, and demands that Booker T no longer wear flames on his wrestling gear or to his music.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair says that if you took the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Pittsburgh Pirates, The Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Flyers, Eric Lindross, Mario Lemieux and the Penn State Nifty Lions and rolled them all up into one ball, they would still not equal him when it comes to the amount of adulation he is getting tonight. He says that this means that wrestling fans are starved for the sight of the greatest wrestler of all time to come back, walk the aisle, style and profile. 20 years ago, he didn't have a peer in this sport, and ten years ago, there were a couple of guys who could run with him, but here he is, at the ripe age of 50, still the man. As for Space Mountain, it may be the oldest ride in the park, but it still has the longest line. Flair goes on to say that fans around the world, then he focuses on recent events. While he sat home, the powers that be had the audacity to call him up in Charlotte, North Carolina and ask him to come back to WCW and be the Commissioner, and he asked why they would want the greatest wrestler alive to be their commissioner before telling them "no." They then asked him to show up on Nitro, and he said "maybe, if the deal is right." He says the deal is right, and that it is time to get the company rolling again. Before he takes it by storm, however, he has to clarify one thing with one man right up front: Terry Funk. For years, Funk has alluded that he might come back and support him in some way, then tells him he is wrong, as there is a difference between himself and Funk. He tells Funk that if he is backstage, then he had come to the ring so they can straighten things out. Funk shows up, and tells Flair - whom he calls a "banana-nosed, horse-toothed, evil bastard" - that he has been World champion more than anyone else in the sport and made millions of dollars, and that he has become a common name in every household across the world. However, he senses a tinge of jealousy in Flair's voice, and he knows what that jealousy stems from: a statement from Mick Foley's book Have A Nice Day!, which states that Flair would not make a decent-sized pimple on his own ass on any given day. He tells Flair to forget all those petty things and either join him against The New World Order (WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash, Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett, Scott Hall, Scott Steiner) or try to bring WCW back up, but he is too petty and refuses to grow up.He tells Flair to look at his son David Flair, who is acting like a fool and an idiot, and realize that he needs discipline from his father. If he was his father, he would take him out back behind the bar, strap him to a sawhorse and beat on him until he learns some respect, something that he says Flair will not do. Funk tells Flair to run for governor while he and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson deal with the nWo, as Flair does not have enough sense to be around him. Flair tells Funk two things: if Foley says he wasn't a pimple on Funk's ass, then he has not watched television in 27 years, as he won more World titles than Funk has cows on that "tiny little chicken ranch" Funk has. Also, he tells Funk to talk to him face-to-face in the ring so he can "slap the shit out of him." Funk heads to the ring, then Flair makes fun of the fact that the words "Living Legend" is on Funk's shirt, and says he's the real living legend. This starts a brawl between Flair and Funk, and WCW security has to run into the ring to break up the brawl. Flair runs out of the ring and towards the back, and security keeps Funk form chasing after him. Backstage, Acting WCW Commissioner Jeff Jarrett tells the rest of The New World Order (Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, Ron Harris, Don Harris) that he has just found two tag team partners for Sid Vicious.

Backstage, Lenny Lane and Lodi tell Miss Hancock that they are not wearing the suits anymore, as Miss Hancock was the real Standards and Practices and that they were just eye candy to put her over in the first place.

Lodi then tells Miss Hancock to give them a call when she gets the bun out of her hair, then he and Lenny Lane leave.
