Sting is spotted on the rafters, once again sporting facepain based on The Crow, all back clothing and a white scorpion on his shirt. Also, Ted DiBiase, The Giant, and Vincent are in the crowd looking up towards Sting.
It is announced that tonight is the beginning of a tournament for the WCW Women's Championship.
Marcus Bagwell beats Brad Armstrong. Ted DiBiase, The Giant and Vincent leave during the match.
Diamond Dallas Page beats Ice Train after The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) - who are briefly seen in the crowd during the match - show up and attack Ice Train after referee Nick Patrick is outside of the ring tending to Page, causing Theodore Long to argue with Patrick during the attack.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. "Lord" Steven Regal! The American French-Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet) vs Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray)! The winner of tonight's match between Dean Malenko and Scotty Riggs - which is coming up next - meets Rey Mysterio Jr.!
Dean Malenko beats Scotty Riggs after Marcus Bagwell tosses Scotty Riggs back into the ring, and commentary notices that Bagwell looked a bit disgusted when he did it. Syxx is seen in the crowd during the match as the nWo street team carries signs in the crowd.
During the next match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Jimmy Hart, who tells Chris Benoit that his belief that The Taskmaster isn't the man he used to be is unfounded, and that Benoit will find out just what kind of man The Taskmaster is at World War 3. The Taskmaster tells Benoit that he can have it the easy way or the hard way when they square off in Baltimore, Maryland. Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.
"The Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Hector Guerrero after Woman distracts Guerrero. The Giant is seen in the crowd with the United States title across his shoulder.
Mike Tenay interviews Jeff Jarrett, Woman, Debra McMichael, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Steve "Mongo" McMichael. Jarrett says that the Horsemen may be down, but not out. He says the nWo will go down. Benoit declares that any business pertaining to the Horsemen will be dealt with accordingly by a Horseman. Mongo tells Jarrett he only has his foot in the door, and that he and Mongo will be keeping watch until "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson are back and ready to go. Sting is seen in the crowd as Jarrett says that WCW - especially The Dungeon of Doom and The Four Horsemen - have to unite. He tells The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobs) that actions speak louder than words. He also tells "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to to wipe the Hollywood make-up off of his face and get in the ring to see if he's still got it. He knows he has it, because Flair told hom he's got it, as he can get the job done every time, compared to Sting, who "isn't even in the game" and that he turned his back on WCW. Jarrett goes on to say that Flair will ride his horse one more time before saying that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and The New World Order is going down.
Lee Marshall is in St. Petersburg, Florida - host of some upcoming events including next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
Madusa beats Reina Jubuki to continue to the semi-finals of the WCW Women's Championship tournament. Zero - formerly known as Chigusa Nagayo - and Sonny Onoo watch the match from the aisle, and Sonny Onoo mocks Madusa, calling her a literal chemical dumping ground full of peroxide and falling plastic "much like American cars."
Chris Jericho beats Michael Wallstreet.
Mike Tenay interviews referee Nick Patrick and his lawyer Allen Sharp. Jericho, who is on the way to the back, insists there is nothing wrong with Patrick's neck and that Patrick is a paid employee of the nWo. Once again, Mr. Sharp wants to be a jerk and bring up Jericho's father's career as an NHL player as an insult. Theodore Long shows up and confronts Patrick for his performance during Ice Train's match with Diamond Dallas Page earlier tonight, and calls Patrick "a player-hater" and says Patrick is with the nWo as Ted DiBiase and Vincent watch this happen from the crowd and Long puts Jericho on a pedestal. Mr. Sharp brings up Theodore Long's past as a referee in WCW, but Jericho says that this is not about past mistakes and tells him that what Patrick is doing is not a mistake, a pre-meditated plan against WCW.
We hear pre-recorded comments from Lex Luger. He has no idea where Sting is coming from these days, and can get no answers from him. All he can do is hope and pray that the nWo's words are falling on those same deaf ears, and he asks Sting for just one minute of his time so he can sit down with him face-to-face.
Lex Luger beats Booker T with a roll-up in a rematch from last week after Col. Robert Parker shows up, stands on the apron and commands Booker T. Booker T grabs Col. Robert Parker by his coat, and Luger takes advantage. Sting is then seen watching from the rafters again.
Tony Schiavone interviews Eric Bischoff - who is in Portland, Oregon - via telephone. He says things between him and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, are not going as well as initially hoped due to stonewalling from Piper's management. He will head to Toronto next Tuesday to continue negotiations with Piper.
We see "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's conversation at the end of Halloween Havoc in its entirety. "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan then shows up with Ted DiBiase, The Giant and Vincent. Hulk mentions the Cable Ace Awards on November 16th, and says that nobody in The New World Order, much less himself, has an invitation to it. He knows that Ted Turner will be sitting up front at the awards, and he tells Turner that if he doesn't get nominated or win an award, he'll crash the party and take his party away from him. He then focuses on wrestling business at hand, saying that when he saw Piper last week, he did everything he could to lead him to slaughter and put on the greatest act of his acting career to get him to make a move. He then boasts that Piper has no heart and not guts, and that he is scared to wrestle him. He states that from this day forward, he is master and champion. Hogan poses in the ring to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 4, 1996
Kevin Kelly is outside of Brian Pillman's house in Walton, Kentucky (21 miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio). He announces that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has threatened to show up at Pillman's home. Pillman's children have been sent to their grandparents as Pillman has holed himself up in his own home with his wife. Kevin Kelly will ask Pillman about his recovery as well as what will happen if Austin shows up.
Both Goldust and The Stalker bring their Survivor Series teammates to the ring prior to their match. Dok Hendrix says that Austin is heading to Brian Pillman's house and wants to talk to Vince. Austin tells Vince he is making good on last week's promise, and says Pillman brought this all on and that he has inspired a new verse in the Book of Austin - Austin 25:17 - "I will strike down upon your ass with great vengeance and furious anger." Vince tells Austin there is a welcoming committee over there waiting for him, but Austin doesn't care and says he's got a six pack of whoop-ass riding shotgun with him and that if he has something to do, he's gonna get done. He says if something happens to him, Vince will make amends for it, as he is a big star and that he will do what he says he will do regardless of the consequences. Jerry "The King" Lawler leaves commentary shortly after to join Goldust's Survivor Series teammates.
We see a black-and-white vignette of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin trash-talking Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, saying that Hart will have his ass whipped by a real man.
Goldust vs. The Stalker ends in a double disqualification when both Goldust's and The Stalker's Survivor Series teams have an all-out brawl all over ringside.
We see Kevin Kelly with Brian Pillman and his wife Melanie in Pillman's home.
It is announced that The Undertaker and Mankind will square off at Survivor Series with Paul Bearer in a steel cage high atop Madison Square Garden. In footag from the Big Bang Boom tour, we hear from Mankind, who says that Undertaker should have stayed buried alive. The Undertaker takes over the arena, announcing that reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated as the lights dim in and out. 'Taker tells Bearer that he has a steel cage in store for him, and inside the steel cage in the aile that The Executioner uncovers, a mock effigy of Paul Bearer is seen hung upside down inside.
Kevin Kelly interviews Brian Pillman. Pillman says he's alive and well and has a great prognosis for 1997, and says he has been through many feuds in professional wrestling. However, there is a fine line between business and private lives, and Pillman tells Stone Cold Steve Austin that he has crossed that line and made it personal, and now this is operating under a different set of rules. Vince McMahon tells Kevin Kelly and Brian Pillman that Austin is circling the neighborhood, but Pillman says he knows Austin better than anybody. He tells Austin he is a dead man walking, and that when Austin 3:16 meats "Pillman 9mm Glock," a 9mm Glock pistol that Pillman suddenly pulls out, he will blast his sorry ass straight to hell. Someone outside of camera range lets everyone in the room know that Austin is near the house now.
Sycho Sid beats Marlena to continue on to the semi-finals of the Karate Fighters tournament. Next week: Dok Hendrix vs. Sable!
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats up two of Brian Pillman's friends outside of Pillman's home before looking for a way to break into Pillman's home.
The Sultan beats Alex "The Pug" Porteau with the Camel Clutch.
We cut back to Brian Pillman's house, and we see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin break through a back door. Melanie Pillman is screaming and Austin is confronted by an armed Pillman when the satellite feed cuts. (The segment does not please USA Network executives, who force Vince McMahon and the WWF to apologize for this the next week. Pillman is also taken to a mental facility in real life a few days after this happened.)
Jim Ross interviews Sycho Sid and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in the ring in a debate. Shawn says that he has forgiven Sid for attacking him over a year ago, as he got him out of "the looney bin" and brought him to where he is now. Sid calls Shawn's claim "bullshit," and if Shawn believes he walked himself out of the looney bin and into the World Wrestling Federation, then he must be absolutely stupid. Shawn says Sid may not like it, but he has Shawn to thank for bringing him back to the World Wrestling Federation. Sid and Shawn both agree that Sid accidentally hit him last week, but at Survivor Series, Shawn says their friendship is being pushed to the side and that he will walk out champion. Sid says he is the favorite due to not just his size, but also his ability. Shawn tells Sid his ability will be his downfall at Survivor Series and that he's not in his league. Sid says he is the man, but Shawn says to be the man, you've got to beat the man, and tells Sid he knocked him down once and he'll knock him down again. The podium gets knocked over, and both men are about to fight when Jim Cornette shows up with Vader, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog and Clarence Mason. Cornette says Vader should be in the World title match and that Sid cheated Vader out of it. Both Sid and Shawn have to watch each others' backs again as Bulldog, Owen and Vader go on the attack. After Sid and Shawn clean house, Sid thinks that Shawn is the one who hit him in the back with a steel chair after seeing Shawn hold one, when it was really Owen Hart who did it before Shawn took the chair from Owen and forced him to retreat. Sid and Shawn argue again, but they go back to fighting Cornette's guys when they get back in the ring. Then, they start arguing again, and this time officials have to hold both men back.
It is announced that the authorities have been contacted at Brian Pillman's home.
During the main event, Vince McMahon interviews Kerwin Silfies, who is in the satellite truck located fifty feet from Pillman's house. He says that Pillman's house has gone completely dark and so has the satellite truck. Nobody has entered or left the house, and Kerwin says he heard some sounds that resembled explosions nearby. Everyone is staying the satellite truck to fix the satellite feed, and nobody wants to be anywhere near Pillman's house. The authorities have not made it to the house yet. It is unlikely that the feed will be returning to the show anytime soon as everyone is afraid to leave the truck. Suddenly, Kerwin shouts "Hey!" and Vince loses contact with Kerwin. It is announced that Mr. Perfect will be on Livewire shortly before he and Hunter Hearst Helmsley show up.
The WWF Big Bang Boom tour is heading to St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada; Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada; Buffalo, New York; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cleveland, Ohio and New York City, New York.
"Razor Ramon" beats "Wildman" Marc Mero after Mr. Perfect and Hunter Hearst Helmsley push Marc Mero off the top turnbuckle.
It is announced that the satellite feed has been restablished, and we see Brian Pillman being held back by his friends. Kevin Kelly says that nobody has been shot or struck by any explosions. He says that Austin has left after seeing the gun, but Austin suddenly comes back and Pillman's friends push Austin back out of the house in a very uncensored segment.
