Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for May 31, 1999

Raven is attacked by Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow outside of the arena in footage from earlier today and tossed into a dumpster.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Eddie Guerrero shows up on Nitro for the first time in months since his automobile accident. We see some photos of the car that Eddie was thrown 100 feet from. Eddie says that he suffered a lacerated liver and a broken hip socket, and had to have reconstructive surgery done on his shin and ankle. He says it feels great to be back, and says he took wrestling for granted. He is now grateful to be able to walk again, and hopefully, get back in the ring again. Eddie Guerrero then guests on commentary.

Kidman beats Hak in a hardcore match by disqualification after Hugh Morrus interferes. During the match, Tank Abbott shows up with his own posse. He mentions the steel cage match between Sting and Rick Steiner tonight, and says both men do not know what hardcore is as he has fought in a cage more times than he can count. He says he will be the referee for that match, and he will be here and he will bring hell if he does not. Abbott and his posse then leave. After the match, Brian Knobbs shows up and attacks Hak with an aluminum garbage can before putting him through a table. We then see WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon on the phone. Flair asks for eight girls to be delivered to his hotel room before making sure that "Macho Man" Randy Savage's top rope elbow is banned. Dillon tells him that is indeed banned and that Flair will be the one to officially ban it anytime in the show that he wants. Flair goes so far as to say that it will be banned on all WCW programming.

Eddie Guerrero thanks everyone who prayed for him to get better, and also thanks WCW and Eric Bischoff for keeping him employed for the five months that he was down and out. He leaves the commentary table.

Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow show up. DDP says he doesn't get the people at all, and says they feel nothing. All he knows is that he tried to do the right thing after he injured Hollywood Hogan and apologized for it, saying it was the wrong thing to do. He tried to apologize, but all he got in return was Hogan knocking him out as he came walking towards the ring and running his mouth about how he is #1 on Hogan's hit parade. DDP says he and Bam Bam Bigelow are considering putting Hogan out permanently. They also brag about "taking out the trash" concerning their attack on Raven earlier today, and says they would rather face Raven and Saturn for the WCW World Tag Team Championships tonight and do it with a little East Coast attitude.

Mike Tenay tells Saturn and Kanyon about Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow's attack on Raven - who is now in the hospital - as well as DDP and Bigelow's challenge for the tag team titles tonight. Kanyon tells Tenay to go tell the Executive Committee to make the match official for tonight.

DJ Ran is seen at a turntable. Curt Hennig then guests on commentary again this week. He says that he heard what DJ Ran had to say about him, and says he is tired of rap music and Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr., and considers singing a country song to DJ Ran. He then heads to the aisle and calls out Bobby Duncum Jr., who shows up wearing a cowboy hat and hands him a hat of his own. Duncum and Hennig walk up to DJ Ran, and Hennig gives him until the count of three to leave. DJ Ran almost leaves, and Hennig is about to sing when Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. show up. Konnan tells Hennig and Duncum are trying to "flex game where they ain't got none," and after Hennig says he can slap that smile off his face, this leads to a brief brawl that officials have to break up. Hennig says if they want a piece of him, he'll rip them a new one.

It is announced that Rey Mysterio and Konnan will face Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum Jr. later tonight.

Van Hammer beats Evan Karagias.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. He says there is a big dispute between The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko), as Benoit wants to be free and Flair has "become a gelding." He says Malenko is tied up and having to clean up Flair's mess. He then asks Malenko to come out, and he shows up. Piper tells Malenko he thinks he is the greatest Cruiserweight Champion of all time and a great technical wrestler, but says everyone wants to know what is going on. Malenko grabs the microphone and says the reality is self-explanatory. He says that he and Benoit did not walk away from The Horsemen or Ric Flair. Instead, Ric Flair walked away from them. WCW President Flair shows up along with Arn Anderson, and Piper tells Flair and Anderson that Malenko has a point and that he wants to make it known to the public. Malenko tells Flair that for the last eight to ten months, he and Benoit had to sit in the back and listen to Flair feed his ego every night. He says that Flair does not get is that it is not about extravagant living anymore and that it is about passing the torch. Malenko says a lot of established wrestler doesn't get the fact that the newer wrestlers will have to be the ones to take WCW to the new millennium. Flair says he is glad Piper has a job as a microphone stand, and says that without him, there are no Horsemen, Benoits or Malenko, and until he can see anyone who can hold the torch, he's not passing it, and tells Malenko and Piper that he and Anderson are the big cheeses and to meet them head on. Malenko tells Anderson he put his heart and soul in the Horsemen, and that this is not what they talked about. Anderson says Malenko came to him, not the other way around, and said that if he was to come out of retirement, it was to bring the Horsemen back to the prominence it once held. He says wrestling is a man's sport performed by men, and that this disagreement can be patched up and that neither person has to pick up their ball and go home because a disagreement exists. Malenko says Anderson doesn't get it, as he was swearing night after night, as he made a commitment for the Horsemen while Flair was being committed. He says a week ago, he would have bent over backwards and watched Arn's back because he believed in him, but that was last week. Malenko leaves, and Anderson follows him. Piper tells Flair his cabinet is falling apart, and that he will see him in Baltimore. Flair attacks Piper from behind as he leaves, then rips his shirt off and chops and punches him. Flair then takes his own shirt off, and the two men brawl. Piper quickly gets the upper hand and punches Flair in the face multiple times before whipping Flair with his belt. Flair and Piper then start fighting outside of the ring, and Flair ends up retreating to the back.

Eric Bischoff guests on commentary for the next match.

Before the next match, Curt Hennig tries to sing a country song, but Rey Mysterio Jr. and Konnan drop kick him and Bobby Duncum Jr. out of the ring before Hennig can even sing one line.

Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. beat Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum Jr. when Duncum hits Konnan with a cowbell as Konnan has Hennig in the Tequila Sunrise. After the match, Duncum hogties Konnan with his rope, then Hennig knocks Rey out.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up. He says there is a rumor going around that Kevin Nash is not going to wait until The Great American Bash, as he is tired of Savage making him ridiculous by painting his face with lipstick and wants to fight him tonight. Savage says there is not one person in the arena tonight who believes that Nash can beat him. Madusa shows up as Savage continues to speak, and tells him Gorgeous George has seen Kevin Nash in the building. Savage says it's on and it's hit the fan, and he will treat Nash like a coward and push him back into the closet where he needs to stay.

It is revealed that Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow have laid Kanyon out backstage.

David Flair beats Erik Watts after WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair distracts the referee from the apron and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson hits Watts with a spinebuster.

Buff Bagwell talks with WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair in Flair's office, and asks for a match with "Macho Man" Randy Savage tonight. Flair says that he does not have the match, as he is not in Savage's league. He is placed in a match against Bobby Eaton later tonight, and if he can beat Eaton, he can prove that he is almost ready for Savage. Buff says that if Flair puts him in the ring with Eaton, Eaton will get hurt, and asks Flair if that is what he wants. Flair says yes. Buff Bagwell high-fives Flair and leaves.

Before the next match, "The Cat" Ernest Miller says he is here for only one reason: to whup somebody. He says he is sick and tired of Scott Norton running in on his matches, and calls Norton out. Norton shows up.

Ernest "The Cat" Miller beats Scott Norton after Sonny Onoo hands The Cat a crowbar and distracts the referee. The black-and-white nWo is seen watching Norton tear The Cat apart in the locker room, and when Norton loses, they immediately try to skip town.

When "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up for his next match, he calls out Kevin Nash, but a fake Kevin Nash - who is wearing a red sequined dress, red pumps and a pageant sash saying Miss Big Sexy '99" and is also much shorter than the real deal - shows up instead. Savage says that Nash has "come out of the closet." The fake Nash is also seen with a replica of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage beats "Kevin Nash" to win the "WCW World Heavyweight Championship." Savage distracts the referee, then Madusa kicks the fake Nash and removes his shoes before Miss Madness hits him with a top rope hurricanrana. Savage then distracts the referee again along with Madusa and Miss Madness so Gorgeous George can hit Nash with a top rope elbow drop.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Buff Bagwell beats Bobby Eaton.

Before the next match, it is announced that Kanyon has received medical attention. Saturn says Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow only made him mad when they sent Raven and Kanyon to the hospital, and says they can do it two-on-one. When DDP and Bam Bam Bigelow show up and DDP tries to confirm what Saturn has just said, he says that Saturn is stupider than he looks.

Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow beat Saturn to become the WCW World Tag Team Champions! During the match, Kanyon runs to the ring with a hospital band on his left wrist, and Saturn tags him in. Unfortunately for Kanyon, he goes down after one discus punch from DDP.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage, Gorgeous George, Madusa and Miss Madness take a limousine out of the arena when an two sewer trucks blocks their path. The real Kevin Nash comes out of the second one and dumps a pipe full of sewage water from the top of the limousine into the limousine itself. Savage and the ladies have to get out of the limousine immediately. We then hear a message from Kevin Nash stating that this portion of Nitro was brought to us by Louis Septic Services (the name of the company on the second truck), "for all your Savage sewage needs."

DJ Ran announces the dropping of the steel cage for the next match.

Rick Steiner vs. Sting in a steel cage ends in a no-contest. During the match, special guest referee and UFC fighter Tank Abbott pushes Rick Steiner out of the corner, causing Sting to miss with the Stinger Splash in the corner. Abbott leaves the cage and walks out with his teammates as Rick Steiner tapes Sting to the top rope with athletic tape and continues to attack Sting as the show ends.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for December 7, 1998

It is announced that Goldberg and Bam Bam Bigelow will be wrestling tonight.

We see footage from moments ago where Scott Steiner attacks WCW's mascot, Wildcat Willy.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Scott Steiner shows up. He says that he's heard steers and queers come from Texas, and he doesn't see anyone "wearing dresses like "Rowdy" Roddy Piper," and says he's tired of women hanging out with all the rednecks. If they want to be hustled by some real muscle, they're ready to get put down by "Big Poppa Pump." He then says he is their hook-up, and to "holla if you hear me." He then tells the crowd to give a standing ovation for Hollywood Hogan, who has just retired, and then tells them to bow down to him, as Hogan retired with class and dignity as the greatest champion of all time. He says that he and Hogan are like brothers, and that Hogan is no fool, as he knew he was the only man who could fill his shoes and has the longest arms in the world and can get the job done. He then brags about laying out Scott Hall last week, and that tonight, he does what Hogan wants him to and break a leg, as it will be Hall's last night in professional wrestling.

Mike Ray from Coumont, Tennessee is the this week's Nitro Party Pack winner. We see footage from his Nitro party.

Diamond Dallas Page beats Kendall Windham.

We get a closer look at Tygress, one of The Nitro Girls.

Norman Smiley beats Prince Iaukea by submission.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Eddie Guerrero. He calls Rey Mysterio Jr. "a selfish little turd" for signing a contract to wrestle behind his back, and says Rey will learn that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the self, and says Rey will be disciplined tonight much like how he disciplines his children at home. He calls out Silver King, whom he says will prove that he is worthy of wearing the Latino World Order by dealing with Rey tonight.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Silver King.

Goldberg shows up with members of the WCW Championship Committee when Kevin Nash shows up, saying Goldberg has a match with him and not Bam Bam Bigelow. After being told the match with Bam Bam Bigelow is official and one-night only, Kevin Nash says the match won't happen and tells Goldberg he had better focus on him and Starrcade. Goldberg tells Nash "there isn't a second where I don't dream of driving your ass right through that mat."

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

Wrath beats The Renegade. (This ends up being The Renegade's final match in WCW, as he would be released soon after. Sadly, The Renegade, aka Rick Wilson, would commit suicide two months later at the age of 33.)

Baseball player Roger Clemens and his sons are in the crowd tonight.

Before the next match, Disco Inferno shows up and brings out Konnan, who has no idea what Disco Inferno's "blockbuster announcement" and threatens to drop him on his head on the stage. Disco then announces that Kevin Nash has allowed him into nWo Wolfpac. Konnan's facial expression immediately after hearing this news seems to debunk this.

Stevie Ray and Horace Hogan beat Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Disco Inferno by hitting Disco with a double-team spike piledriver as the ref is out of position dealing with Chavo.

Kevin Nash shows up, and says that if Goldberg thinks he is running the show, he is not. He does not care what Goldberg wants, as he signed for a match with him and that is the only match he is going to have. Nash then tells Bam Bam Bigelow and Goldberg that he is going to the back and putting his gear on, and if either of them think they are going to come into the ring without him in it, they are sadly mistaken, as he just made tonight a three-way dance.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Before the next match, Ernest "The Cat" Miller and Sonny Onoo show up, and Miller says he came here to beat the crap out of Saturn. Unfortunately, since he hurt his ankle getting out of his Cadillac, tonight is his lucky tonight. As Miller continues to talk, Glacier hits Saturn with a side kick from behind. Miller says that if Saturn wants some, to come get some, but the way it looks right now, he won't have to do anything and Glacier will do the work for him.

Glacier beats Saturn by disqualification when Ernest "The Cat" Miller interferes. Referee Scott Dickinson gets hit with a Death Valley Driver after Saturn hears this.

The "Property of nWo/Just Two Sweet" shirt is available for $20 plus $5.95 shipping and handling.

Lex Luger beats Emery Hale with the Torture Rack.

We see a promo video for Kevin Nash vs. Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho says that it wasn't too long ago since The Bad News Bears played in the Astrodome and not too long ago since that he destroyed "that Texas" Bobby Duncum Jr., because he and the Jerichoholics both hate cowboys. Even though Duncum is from Texas, he is the true hometown hero.

Chris Jericho beats Bobby Duncum Jr. after hooking his feet on the top rope for leverage during the pinfall.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the third hour.

The Giant beats Scott Putski with a single choke slam. After the match, The Giant says that if Diamond Dallas Page wanted his attention, he's got it. He then tells the crowd that if they think DDP is the people's champion and is like Santa Clause, then he is like The Grinch. He challenges him to a match at Starrcade, saying it will be an easy payday for him and that he has a special present for him in the form of a choke slam.

Konnan is seen talking to the nWo Hollywood referee, threatening to "tape [him] up real good."

The Four Horsemen ("The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko) vs. Raven and Kanyon never takes place. Before the match, Raven refuses to take part in the next match, and leaves Kanyon high and dry once again even after he tells Raven he has been there for him and asks him to be there in return. Kanyon then announces that Raven is not teaming with him again, and he does not care because it is all Raven's fault that his name went down as the one to break the 20-year "Armstrong Curse," and that The Four Horsemen nearly beat him within an inch of his life. He refuses to wrestle tonight, as the odds against him are 2-on-1 - 2 1/2-on-1 if you count Anderson. He then says he will challenge either Benoit or Malenko on Thursday night, and tells them to be there. He runs into "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, and when Kanyon tells him to get out of the way, Anderson pulls out a crowbar and scares him into the ring. Benoit and Malenko get a few shots in, then Anderson scares Kanyon back out of the ring with the crowbar.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Dean Malenko). Mongo shows up alongside Flair as he makes his way to the ring. Flair says they will be humbled in Houston, Texas tonight, and tells Eric Bischoff to get off his girlfriend, get off his treadmill and hear him tonight, as his dictatorship is about to come to an end. Flair namedrops local legends from Texas wrestling history, saying they bled one gallons and sweated five just so Bischoff could have a job. He says the Horsemen spent years two years trying to bottle it up, but at Starrcade, he will torture the respect out of Bischoff, and it will be like going to his funeral. In one night, the Horsemen will take his paycheck, his job, his life, his dignity and take back professional wrestling, as WCW is bigger than Bischoff will ever be.

Konnan retains the WCW World Television Championship against Booker T by disqualification. During the match, Stevie Ray shows up and hits Konnan in the back with a slapjack. Booker T is about to strike Stevie Ray, and dares him to go ahead and do it. He tells Booker T that hitting him with a slapjack is what he should have been doing, and to think about nWo Hollywood.

Before the next match, Scott Hall says he has heard what Scott Steiner has had to say about putting him out of wrestling, and says he is too stupid to quit. He calls Scott Steiner out, saying that if he wants him, don't bring it, sing it. Scott Steiner shows up, but his referee does not follow him to the ring. Scott Steiner wants to know where he is, thinking Scott Hall has something to do with this. The nWo referee shows up all wrapped up in tape, and referee Mickey Jay, who is right behind him, pushes him to the ground before entering the ring.

Scott Hall vs. Scott Steiner ends with nWo Hollywood attacking Scott Hall while Steiner chases referee Mickey Jay out of the ring. Lex Luger and Konnan show up and take on nWo Hollywood, but the numbers game proves too great as The Giant shows up before Scott Steiner puts Scott Hall in the Steiner Recliner. Suddenly, Diamond Dallas Page shows up with a steel chair, clearing the ring out as he smacks the steel chair into The Giant.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. Bret says he has a few problems now, and has to decide between fighting him and fighting The Giant. He then brags about being United States champ once again, saying him holding the belt is proof he is the greatest of all time. He knew this would a special week when his cat jumped into his arm now that the US title is around his waist again. He tells DDP to stay out of his way, and tells him to go ahead and fight the Giant, but if DDP gets in his way again, he will excellently execute him. Bret says everyone has written him off as a bag of bones heading for the glue factory, but the fact of the matter is that he's just getting started, and tells the locker room to take a good look at the United States title, because he has proved himself one more time.

Bam Bam Bigelow and Kevin Nash immediately go at it in the ring. Goldberg runs to the ring, giving Roger Clemens a high-five backstage on the way there, and all three men have a brawl. Referees, officials, local law enforcement and arena security all have to hold back all three men.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 16, 1998

The show starts with a performance by The Nitro Girls.

A motorcade of limousines and police escorts arrives at the arena. Once again, Secret Service agents ask for the camera crew to step back.

Juventud Guerrera beats Kidman to become the WCW Cruiserweight Champion! Kidman personally hands Juvi the belt and raises his hand in a show of respect after the match.

Before the next match, Raven says that when he was a child, just like Judy Bagwell, his mom used to tell him where to go, what to do and when to do it. He is an adult now, and WCW is not going to tell him when to wrestle, who to wrestle or how to do it. He tells Wrath he can have this match without him. Kanyon grabs the microphone and asks Raven to wrestle the match, telling him to snap out of it as nobody gets more airtime without wrestling than he does. Raven insists on not wrestling, and Kanyon decides to take his place in the match, even though he is supposed to wrestle Glacier in the next match. After Kanyon asks "Who's better than Kanyon," Wrath immediately hits him from behind and puts him in the Meltdown. Since the bell never rang, the match never happened, and Wrath leaves. But as Glacier shows up and Wrath leaves, and Wrath turns around and follows him. Wrath then gets back in the ring and puts Glacier in the Meltdown.

After the commercial break, Kanyon and Glacier are still down in the center of the ring, and Wrath has already left. Referee Mickey Jay is still there, and he calls for the bell. Kanyon manages to go for the pinfall attempt just before the ten-count.

Kanyon beats Glacier.

Apollo Russell is this week's Nitro Party Pack winner. We see some footage from his Nitro Party.

Sonny Onoo beats El Gringo after Ernest "The Cat" Miller shows up as the referee is focused on Sonny Onoo and lays out El Gringo - who unmasks himself to reveal he is Kaz Hayashi after Onoo tells him he paid him to get in the ring with him- and tells Onoo to get back in the ring and pin him.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Stevie Ray and Horace Hogan beat The Four Horsemen (Dean Malenko and Steve "Mongo" McMichael). After "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson beats up Vincent at ringside - allowing Stevie Ray to hit Mongo with a flapjack - Anderson hits Stevie Ray with a tire iron. Head of WCW Security Doug Dellinger gets on the apron, and demands Anderson hand over the tire iron.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour. It is announced that "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson has been escorted out of the building due to the use of the tire iron, and that Steve "Mongo" McMichael has been taken to a local hospital after being hit in the head with a slapjack by Stevie Ray.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. He says that "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson is heading to jail courtesy of Eric "No guts, no gonads" Bischoff. As for Steve "Mongo" McMichael, he is all man and he is a Horseman. He says tradition, reality and life are the difference between himself and Bischoff, and if Bischoff was a man, he would chop him so hard that he would be the first man with four nipples: two in the front and two in the back. Since Bischoff is not a man, he plans to get to him another way. Tonight, because he is Ric Flair, he will introduce a man who is one of the greatest wrestlers alive and a Horseman of yesterday and today: Barry Windham, whom Flair says Bischoff knows nothing about as Windham is an honest worker. Windham says Bischoff is about to find out that things in WCW are as they should be, and that he and Flair are about tradition. Suddenly, Eric Bischoff shows up and reminds Flair and Windham that he fired Windham years ago and would be glad to do it again, and tells Flair that he cannot hire anybody or use Ted Turner's money, while he can. Flair tells Bischoff he is using his money on what he wants to spend it on, and that Windham will tear up "Bischoff's girlfriend" tonight and take Miss Elizabeth downtown night. He tells Miss Elizabeth to get ready, because Barry Windham is in town.

Before the next match, Eddie Guerrero asks Rey Mysterio Jr. to be part of the Latino World Order due to his respect for him and how good he is. He makes Rey a deal: if he wins, Rey has to join the LWO. If Rey wins, he will let him be. Rey agrees to the deal.

Eddie Guerrero beats Rey Mysterio after Eddie's unnamed bodyguard distracts the referee. As this happens, Juventud Guerrera gets in the ring to help Rey with a springboard leg drop, but Juvi ends up accidentally hitting Rey instead. Eddie then gets the frog splash for the win.

We see Judy Bagwell at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia, where she is currently in a hospital bed after Scott Steiner laid her out in an untelevised incident. He calls out her son Buff Bagwell for his actions last week, and asks what it is going to take to get him to stop and think about what he is doing. She wants Buff Bagwell gone and wants Marcus Bagwell back, the way he used to be, and says that Buff needs to stop.

Scott Putski vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr. ends in a no-contest. During the match, it is reported by "Mean" Gene Okerlund that Bam Bam Bigelow - who is still employed by Extreme Championship Wrestling and is not part of WCW- has come out of a Cadillac. He breaks into Goldberg's dressing room, tears things up backstage and heads to the ring in an attempt to look for Goldberg. He gets in the ring and lays out Putski with a clothesline before doing the same to Chavo, and powerbombs Putski before tossing Chavo over the top rope. He then grabs a microphone and calls Goldberg out. Eric Bischoff and WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon show up with local law enforcement and WCW security, and want Bigelow out of the arena. As police corner Bam Bam Bigelow, Goldberg shows up with security of his own, and runs into the ring. All the security forces in the ring have their hands full keeping both men apart. Bischoff then blames Dillon for the incident, and demands he see him in the back now.

Eric Bischoff fires WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon after the Goldberg/Bam Bam Bigelow incident. Dillon tells Bischoff he can "run this madhouse" any way he wants, and that he cannot fire him because he quits. Dillon then gets in a Cadillac and leaves.

Before the next match, Saturn mentions his match with Eddie Guerrero from a few weeks ago where Konnan shows up and asks him to take care of the Latino World Order. Saturn says Konnan only did this to plug himself, and challenges him to a match. Konnan shows up and tells Saturn he's not going to plug him; instead, he's going to "punk him." Shortly after Konnan does his pre-match promo, Saturn attacks Konnan from behind.

Saturn vs. Konnan ends in a no-contest. The Latino World Order shows up during the match. Also during the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Eric Bischoff outside of Goldberg's dressing room, and Bischoff says he fired J.J. Dillon for "screwing up everything that he touches" and "trying to follow in his footsteps." He says he will talk to Goldberg, and says that Bam Bam Bigelow is not an employee of WCW, nor will he be part of World War 3. He also says that Goldberg has better things to do than to take on any "Joe Blow" that challenges him. Goldberg suddenly comes out of his dressing room and forces a match with Bigelow tonight out of Bischoff by pinning Bischoff to the wall and demanding the match. Near the end of the match, La Parka holds down Saturn from the apron, but Konnan attacks La Parka. The LWO shows up and attacks Saturn, and when Konnan tries to help him, Saturn punches him before going after the LWO. Konnan tells Saturn that this is not over, and to get back in the ring. Saturn goes right after Konnan, and after a tackle, he throws Konnan's head against the steel steps and punches him in the back of the head. It takes referees, officials and WCW security to get Saturn off of Konnan.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the third hour.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

We see a video package documenting the recent events between Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.

Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell show up with their own referee, who has piercings and black and white paint on his head, a black-and-white striped referee shirt and black denim pants on, and a whistle in his mouth. Buff Bagwell says he and Scott do not like Wichita, Kansas, and also has their own referee. Buff says the difference between their referee and WCW referees is that their referee can count to three, and if they have him in the ring, Scott Steiner will be holding the World Tag Team titles. Scott and Buff then have their referee show the proper way to count to three. Scott then says he is not talking to "10,000 fat, corn-fed heffers" that the people in Wichita calls women. He is talking to the ten million women who watch him on TV, saying not to adjust their set because he looks this good and that there is nothing finer than Scott Steiner. When he lays them down so sweet, they will call him their sugar daddy, and when he gets them between the sheets and his body rocks their body, they'll know they've been with more than just a man, and in the morning, they will call him "Superman." He tells all the "freaks" out there that he is their hook-ups, and to "holla if you hear me." Scott Steiner then says that nWo Hollywood is stronger than blood, and when Buff gave him permission to take Judy Bagwell out, that proved to him that they are friends for life. Scott and Buff hugs, and their referee brings out a woman who happens to be Scott Steiner's mom. Scott Steiner returns the favor to Buff by having him knock his own mother out so the referee can count to three. Rick Steiner then shows up, and Scott, Buff and the referee flee the ring. Rick helps his mom up, removes the wig, and reveals that this is just a man dressed up as a woman, revealing this is not their mother at all. Buff says he would have done the same thing to Rick's real mother. All of a sudden, Scott Norton is holding Rick from behind, and Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell attack Rick. Scott then tells Rick he has laid executives and referees out, and that if Rick shows up at World War 3, he will end his career. Norton, Scott Steiner and Buff then pin Rick down so their referee counts to three.

Bobby Duncum Jr. beats Chris Jericho in his WCW debut by count-out after Jericho walks out of the match. Chris Jericho retains the WCW World Television Championship.

Secret Service agents are seen moving into place, then Hollywood Hogan shows up. Once again, a large American flag is unfurled, and red, white and blue baloons and confetti fall from the ceiling. Hogan says this week has been the greatest week of his life, as his family and friends could not believe how America embraced Hollywood and realizes Hogan is the only man who can run America. He thanks the press, the media, and each and every American and nWo-ite for embracing him and giving him his faith in letting him know that he is the man for the job. Hogan says he loves America and will lead it. His campaign manager, Eric Bischoff, has been quite busy tonight, and he is a little worried that with all the confusion, he might not be up to speed to answer the letters, cards and phone calls concerning his campaign, and for that he is proud to introduce a new person in the campaign who will do just that: his brand new intern, who looks suspiciously like Monica Lewinsky, who is led to the ring by head of WCW Security Doug Dellinger. Hogan says that his campaign team will not let the people down, and that American shall be the richest country, every child will have an education, and that America will be a peaceful place to live in. "Monica" is the first to congratulate Hogan, and says that everyone knows that a United States President loves a good cigar as she pulls one out of her blouse. Hogan and "Monica" then make out before "Monica" is escorted back to the back. Hogan then asks Eric Bischoff to come to the ring, and lets all the nWo-ites that the campaign trail is as solid as all the nWo-ites out there. He says that nWo Hollywood has talked about it in the back, and have concluded that they can handle professional wrestling and elected office. Bischoff shows up, and Hogan tells him he understands his concern for the safety of Goldberg. Hogan eases his concerns by saying that no matter which direction Goldberg flips or flops, he will be on top of it and he will take the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from him. Bischoff says he knows Hogan would never let the company down, and says that he always has and always will have faith in him to take care of business. Hogan then brings out Scott Hall, and Hogan says Scott Hall knows everyone is in this as a team, and Hall says that when you're nWo, you're nWo for life. He says it is not just a slogan and that they live it, and asks Bischoff where his head is at. Bischoff tells Hall he does not have to question his loyalty, especially after everything that he has done for the nWo and that this is not the time and the place. Hall says it is, and Bischoff says they will take care of the family business later...a lot later. He then tells Hall to head to the backso they can take care of business later, but Hall knocks out Bischoff. Hogan responds by beating up Hall, punching him in the face and choking him out with his boa. Kevin Nash runs into the ring to make the save for Hall, then Nash tells Hall he will see him on Sunday before leaving the ring.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

"The Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Bret "The Hit Man" Hart by disqualification. During the match, Hart introduces a steel chair into the match, but Benoit punches it into his face as soon as Hart turns around. Benoit then tries to hit Hart with the chair, but referee Mickey Jay stops him from doing that, allowing Bret to hit Benoit from behind with a low blow. Hart then smashes the top of the chair into the arm of Benoit, ending the match. After the match, Bret continues to attack Benoit in the recently injured with the steel chair and shoves Mickey Jay to the side. Dean Malenko then rushes in and attacks Hart, saving Benoit and forcing Hart to retreat from the ring. As Malenko checks on Benoit, however, Hart runs back into the ring and blindsides Malenko before attacking Benoit again. Diamond Dallas Page shows up and fights Hart, sending him over the top rope and out of the ring. Hart tries to run away, but DDP is not done and sends Hart into the steel steps. Hart runs away, and asks Bret where he is going because he asked him to bring the United States title to him. Hart looks back for a moment, then heads back to the back. At this point, David Penzer holds the microphone for DDP. DDP says that when he thinks of Bret, he puts him on the same level as Hollywood Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and says they're all the same animal but just a different kind of scum. He knows that Hart called him out, knowing he was laid up, asking for the United States title, and tells him to come and get it. Bret does not show up. DDP then says it does not matter how many times he goes down, but how many times he gets back up, and he is up, back and jacked. He plans to take Bret with him, and before J.J. Dillon was fired, Dillon made a match between him and Bret for the US title at World War 3, and if Bret wants some, he can come get some.

Bam Bam Bigelow shows up and gets in the ring, as does Goldberg. Bigelow runs to the ramp as Goldberg's entrance pyro goes off, and both men brawl near the crowd until security and local law enforcement have to pull both men apart as the show ends.
