We see footage from the pre-show of Vampiro being attacked by David Flair and Crowbar. Vampiro and a partner of his choice vs. David Flair and Crowbar for the WCW World Tag Team Championships is now a three-way match between Vampiro, David Flair and Crowbar.
Kidman beats Dean Malenko in a Catch-As-Catch-Can Match after Dean Malenko leaves the ring, which is against match rules. (This match ends up being Malenko's last night with the company, due to him asking for his release and getting it after Kevin Sullivan is made head booker.)
Scott Hudson interviews Vampiro, who says that he is confident that he can beat David Flair and Crowbar by himself. They are then suddenly interrupted by Masahiro Chono, who has not been seen in WCW since 1998. This leads to a staredown between Vampiro and Chono.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews David Flair, Crowbar and Daffney. David says he is going to break Vampiro's bones, Crowbar says he will rip Vampiro's flesh, and Daffney says she will pick whatever is left clean.

Buff Bagwell is seen entering the building.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund is seen interviews Tony Marinara, Big Vito, Johnny The Bull and Disco Inferno. Marinara leaves the interview and tells the rest of his men to take care of the interview. Big Vito says they are the newest tigers on the block and the baddest men there. THey will break The Harris Boys' (Ron and Don Harris) thumbs as Disco Inferno has their back. Disco tells them it's their match, but Johnny The Bull tells him he will do as he is told.
Big Vito and Johnny The Bull beat The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris) after Disco Inferno pushes Big Vito into one of The Harris Boys and Vito gets the cover for the win.
Madusa tells Spice that WCW is her life and career, and that she is sick and tired of Oklahoma.
Before the next match, Oklahoma says he has said it before and he will say it again: the male of the species is the dominant and superior of the sexes. He says it may not be politically correct, but it is the truth. He is not an athlete, but he is a real man, and tonight, this real man will prove to everyone (while making fun of all the women in the crowd) that a woman has no place in professional wrestling. If any men disagree with him, they are nothing more than panty-waisted, udder-suckling mama's boys. He then tells Madusa to bounce her "silicone hoots" to the ring so he can bounce them back to the kitchen where they belong. Madusa then shows up in a Ken Blackman Cincinnati Bengals jersey.
Oklahoma beats Madusa to become the WCW Cruiserweight Champion! During the match, Oklahoma pulls out a bottle of barbecue sauce, but Spice takes it away from him. Asya then shows up from behind Oklahoma, and both she and Spice take the boots to Oklahmoa before throwing him back into the ring. Oklahoma then pulls Madusa's tights as he rolls her up to get the win and the Cruiserweight title. After the match, Madusa kicks Oklahoma out of the ring, and Spice and Asya hold him down as Madusa pours the barbecue sauce down Oklahoma's singlet. After the match, Madusa, Spice and Asya beat Oklahoma up.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Brian Knobbs. Knobbs says there is only one person who deserves credit for him becoming the new WCW Hardcore Champion, and that is Fit Finley for taking him under his wing and giving him back "the eye of the tiger." At Four The Hard Way, he will destroy Meng and Smiley up before beating Finley into a coma, as the sudent is about to become the master.
Brian Knobbs retains the WCW Hardcore Championship against "Screamin" Norman Smiley, Meng and Fit Finley in Four The Hard Way (which is a four-way hardcore match) after Knobbs smacks Smiley with a chair as he leap from the second rope with a nightstick in his hands.
Kidman beats Perry Saturn in a Bunkhouse Brawl as part of the Triple Threat Theater. (This ends up being Saturn's last match in WCW, as now head booker Kevin Sullivan tells Saturn that he is incapable of getting over with fans, which leads him to working for the World Wrestling Federation.)
Stevie Ray heads back home and shows us the people and places there, saying that he will never let Booker T forget about home. He says that what he told Booker T on Monday was real, and if Booker T turns hs back on the 'hood, he will turn his back on him.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Stevie Ray. He says Booker T will always be his little brother, but he does not want to hear it. Tonight, what he will do to him will be a lesson, and it will hurt Booker T more than it will hurt him.
Before the next match, Booker T says he has heard Stevie Ray talking, and says he has not forgot about where he come from on 110th Street in Harlem, and that Stevie Ray has forgotten. He says Stevie was the one who watched his back at all times, but all that is over now and he has someone who fits that bill in the form of Midnight. He tells Stevie Ray he is on his own, and that he is "Junior" no more. He then calls Stevie Ray out. After Stevie Ray shows up, Booker T sends Midnight to the back.
Booker T beats Stevie Ray by disqualification. The match ends with a rather large man coming out to the ring and attacking Booker T. This man is Ahmed Johnson, formerly of the WWF, who has put on quite a bit of weight since he was last seen on television in 1998. After the match, Midnight shows up as Stevie Ray hits Booker T with the Slap Jack, then Ahmed hits Booker T with the Pearl River Plunge. Midnight tells Booker T to get up, but to no avail, and Stevie Ray tells Midnight he would bring her into a conniption, and that this is the conniption. We then find out Ahmed's name is now Bg T, who says he cannot believe that she would leave family for "a piece of fish." He calls Midnight a "fish," then says it about time she gets fried, too. Stevie Ray then announces that he and Big T are the "new and improved" Harlem Heat.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Sid Vicious. Sid says while his match with "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit proves that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and the rest of The New World Order (Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner) will do everything they can to tarnish the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, he and Benoit will throw friendship aside and have a hell of a war before he walks out as WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
Tank Abbott beats Jerry Flynn in a match with shoot fight rules after he knocks Flynn out with a right hand to the back of the head.
Buff Bagwell beats Diamond Dallas Page in a Last Man Standing Match. Kimberly shows up as the match ends, then DDP hits Buff with the baton that Bagwell pull out of his boot earlier in the match. Kimberly briefly seemingly smiles at Buff, then leaves with DDP.
Before the next match, Shane Douglas shows up and tells Kidman to take a look around and wave goodbye to the fans, as The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn) told The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr. Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) that they would take them out. They may have underestimated them the first time, but this time, the rest of The Filthy Animals didn't know what hit them. He also says The Revolution have not forgotten about "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. He then says that when The Revolution do something, they like to do it in a big way. He then brings out Kidman's mystery opponent: The Wall.
The Wall beats Kidman in a Caged Heat Match.
Kevin Nash beats Terry Funk to become WCW Commissioner at midnight tonight. (Had Nash lost, he wluld have had to break up The New World Order). During the match, Nash tells Funk that he has a lot of heart, but no common sense, and if he crawls back into the ring, he can keep his job as WCW Commissioner. Funk eventually makes it back into the rig only for Nash to announce "I'm a lyin' son of a bitch!" Nash wins the match with a Jackknife Power Bomb into three steel chairs.
"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit and Sid Vicious are seen getting ready for their match backstage.
Scott Hudson interviews "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Anderson says he should have been there for Terry Funk, as Funk rolled the dice and lost, and WCW lost as a company. He has been through this nightmare before, having experienced what Kevin Nash is capable of, and at midnight tonight, life for everyone who works for WCW will change forever, and if WCW loses the World Heavyweight Championship, the war is over and WCW will have lost. He gets to officiate a match where two of WCW's greatest get to go at it and settle it in the middle of the ring, and he will see to it. There are no losers in the main event tonight, only winners, and he will see to it for sure. He hopes Funk is okay, because now is the time to take care of business.
"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Sid Vicious with the Crippler Crossface to become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, despite the back of Sid's foot hitting the bottom rope. During the match, the locker room empties and watches the match from the stage. After the match, everyone on the stage applauds Benoit on the victory.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit. Benoit thanks and congratulates Sid Vicious for putting up one of the thoughest fights he has ever been in, and that he is "one hell of a match." He was 11 years old when he saw The Dynamite Kid in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and from then on, a fire burned inside of him and that fire is his passion for the business. When he first started, a lot of people doubted him due to his side, but tonight, he has proved that what you do have is what matters. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson shows up and congratulates Benoit, saying he is proud to be part of WCW and that Benoit and Sid made it happen. Suddenly, Kevin Nash shows up and tells Benoit to enjoy being World Champion, for in an hour and forty he will make his life a living hell, for the World title belongs to The new World Order (Bret "The Hit Man' Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner) and they are taking it back. Nash leaves after apologizing for being "the turd in the punchbowl," Benoit tells Nash "From the little turd to the big turd...best of luck." (This match will prove to be Benoit's last in the company, as he will be gone the next day due to Kevin Sullivan now being the head booker after asking for his release and getting it. Sid's foot being under the bottom rope will be used to explain away Benoit losing the World Heavyweight Championship.)
