Ultimo Dragon beats El Dandy with the Dragon Sleeper. During the match, Raven's Flock (Raven, Saturn, Billy Kidman, Sick Boy, Scotty Riggs, Lodi, Van Hammer) is seen heading to seats in the front row. Even though they are banned from sitting in the front row, it is soon made apparent that the Flock have paid for tickets to sit in their ringside seats.
Lex Luger says he was disgusted, but not surprised, by what Kevin Nash did to The Giant at Souled Out. He says that every time the nWo stoops to an all-time low when they get into the ring. If nWo is playing for keeps, then so is WCW.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund is live in Chattanooga, Tennessee at with the Nitro Girls at the University of Tennessee-Chatanooga's Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house, the site of the first Nitro Party grand prize winner.
Bill Goldberg beats Brad Armstrong.
Diamond Dallas Page says the way Kevin Nash dropped The Giant at Souled Out "gave [him] goosepimples" and "wasn't right."
Mike Tenay interviews WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon. Dillon talks about "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson's sudden career-ending injury and how it has caused him to review the rules, as each generation of wrestlers is getting bigger, stronger and faster. He wishes he could provide an update on The Giant, but people close to him are tight-lipped and results from tests have not come back yet and the prognosis does not look good. Nevertheless, it is time for WCW to take action, and from here on out, the Jackknife Power Bomb or any variation of it is now barred from being used, not just by Kevin Nash, but by anybody. Anyone caught using it or a variation will be suspended and severely fined. If Kevin Nash does it again, Nash will be not only be suspended and fined, but also escorted out of the building and WCW will explore the possibility of criminal prosecution.
Konnan beats Jerry Flynn.
We see "Mean" Gene Okerlund with The Nitro Girls and grand prize winner Brandon, who says he did the Nitro party during the last rush week and is now having this party on the current rush. He says he didn't know if they would win it or not, but they sent the video anyway and here they are.
Mike Tenay interviews Steve "Mongo" McMichaels, who says he is disgusted with what's going on right now, but says "you haven't done thin' yet until you've kicked some butt in the WCW." He can't wait to get knee-deep with some competition. All of a sudden, a guy in black shows up, and it is none other than The British Bulldog, fresh from The World Wrestling Federation. He tells Mongo he can clap all he wants, but he's here in WCW looking for a big bone to chew on and that Mongo could be that bone. Mongo tells him to go the back and get ready for a match so he can teach him new tricks. Bulldog accepts his challenge.
Buff Bagwell beats Rick Steiner by disqualification after Scott Steiner shows up, beats up Vincent and tosses him into the ring. Scott Steiner then puts his hands on the referee.
Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.
Kevin Nash - with a cup, presumably of coffee - and Eric Bischoff show up. Bischoff proclaims that what was supposed to be a joyous occasion for Nash is a sad one, as Nash has been singled out by WCW Executive Committee Chairman. Nash says he has been watching the show from the back, and says that The Giant gave him everything he had and that The Giant told him "I can't go anymore." Being the sportsman that he is, he decided The Giant "needed a little stimuli" and hit him with the pot of coffee. He compares The Giant going down to Old Yeller, and then brags about dropping him on his head during the Jackknife Power Bomb. He asks that from this day forward, he wants to be known as "Big Sexy The Giant Killer," and if anyone wants to send fan mail, they can send it to the fan down by the river.
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart beats Wayne Bloom.
Mike Tenay interviews Ray Traylor. Traylor says the nWo - and Kevin Nash - think they're better than everyone else, but says the fans are the true power of wrestling, not the nWo. He says Nash showed his true power at Souled Out when he put The Giant out, and while others may be afraid of Nash, he is not. Traylor says he is itching for a fight tonight, and challenges him to a match.
Psychosis beats Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Before the next match, Scott Hall announces that Dusty Rhodes is now part of the nWo, and that Louie Spicolli is also wanting to be part of the nWo.
Juventud Guerrera beats Louie Spicolli by disqualification. During the match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage is seen exiting a car and angrily heading into the building. He then runs into the ring and hits Juventud Guerrera with a piledriver before calling out Lex Luger. Louie Spicolli hits Juventud Guerrera with a Death Valley Driver as Savage says "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are the only reason Luger beat him at Souled Out. He tells the four of them he doesn't want their help as he says he wants Luger in a no-disqualification match. Spicolli interrupts Savage, which leads to Savage tossing him out of the ring. Instead of getting Luger, he gets The New World Order. Bischoff tries to talk Savage down, but Savage says Nash, Bischoff and Hall don't care about his loss to Luger and tells Hogan he makes him sick. Hogan tells Savage that if he's party of the family, he's got to play the whole game. He says they may have differences of opinion, but the nWo loves each other and they're a family. He says that Savage wasn't doing very well and that he "wasn't exactly leading the dance with Flexy Lexy." Hogan says that they came down to the ring, feeling their physical preference would be enough to perk him back up. Hogan then tells Savage that if he doesn't want the nWo helping him on his way to the top, he is on his own. Savage says he's fine with that, and says the match wasn't over, that the nWo weren't well-coordinated when they showed up and that Hogan was doing a lot better when he had the gold around his waist. Hogan insists he beat Sting twice, and that he is responsible for the success of professional wrestling. He says that he will have the World title in February and Sting will be stung. Bischoff has to keep Hogan and Savage from tearing each other apart, and Savage leaves the ring to grab a steel chair. Hogan says that if Savage, he'd better work it out. Savage tells Hogan he'll take care of Luger, and tells Hogan to take care of Sting to bring the World title back in the family. Hogan then says they might as well take care of their own, individual selves, and tells Savage he's coasting on his own.
We return to the Nitro Party at Chattanooga, Tennessee, where everyone does the limbo at the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house at The University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. Daniel Hunt is the lucky player of "Pin The Tail on the Nitro Girl" while another guy has his Sting costume judged by The Nitro Girls.
Raven beats Mortis after ducking a chair shot from Mortis and hitting the Evenflow DDT. During the match, James Vandenberg tosses a chair to Mortis and distracts the referee from the ring apron to allow for the chair shot, but the chair shot attempt does not work.
Diamond Dallas Page retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Wrath after DDP whips Wrath into Mortis to stop an interference attempt just before the Diamond Cutter. Wrath his Mortis with the Death Penalty after the match, then chases Vandenberg out of the ring as pyrotechnics signal the start of the third hour.
Mike Tenay interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. Bret says his match against "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair at Souled Out was a tough match, and thanks Flair for giving him a great match against a great wrestler. He says that Flair's quote "To be the man, you've got to beat the man" isn't necessarily true, as Flair will always be "the man." He says that whatever "Rowdy" Roddy Piper decides about the WCW World Heavyweight Championship is cool with him, as he has come to WCW to become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. He doesn't care who wins between "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Sting, as he will prove to everybody that sooner or later, he will be the best WCW champion that the company has ever had.
We return to the Nitro Party at Chattanooga, Tennessee, where "Mean" Gene Okerlund does his own WCW-ized version of Scott Hall's survey before we see another performance by The Nitro Girls.
Booker T retains the WCW World Television Championship by disqualification after Van Hammer knocks Booker T off the top rope. Raven's Flock attacks Booker T, then Ric Martel shows up and fights off everyone in Raven's Flock (Billy Kidman, Sick Boy, Lodi, Scotty Riggs, Van Hammer) before confronting Saturn, who wisely leaves the ring after smiling at Martel.
Mike Tenay interviews Chris Jericho. Once again, Jericho shows up wearing a Rey Mysterio Jr. shirt. Jericho says he will use the steel utility box he found in his match against Rey to carry the Cruiserweight title in, and dedicates the title victory to himself the fans and Rey, who is now out with a torn ACL. He hopes that an injury like that never happens to Rey again, and pretends to cry as he dedicates his title victory for all the people who have stood behind him before teling Rey to keep everyone update on his injury as nobody wants him back quicker and faster than him. He then says he is wearing the Rey Mysterio Jr. shirt as tribute as he stands before everyone as hero, role model and champion.
The British Bulldog - now going by Davey Boy Smith - beats Steve "Mongo" McMichael.
Ray Traylor beats Kevin Nash by disqualification after Kevin Nash throws hot coffee in his face, hits him with a low blow and puts him in the Jackknife Power Bomb. After the match, referees, officials and Ted DiBiase check on Ray Traylor. Nash leaves the ring and allows head of WCW security Doug Dellinger arrest him, saying "Get this on tape! I got a case!" and repeatedly chanting "Attica!" as he is escorted out of the arena.
Before the next match, Hall says he exposed "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko at Souled Out, saying Zbyszko has zero wrestling talent and that he should wander into the tar pit with the rest of the dinosaurs. Doug Dellinger and WCW security have to stop Zbyszko from getting in the ring with Hall again. After the break, it is announced that Zbyszko has been escorted out of the arena.
Lex Luger beats Scott Hall by disqualification after "Macho Man" Randy Savage attacks Luger. Savage then hits Luger in the back with a steel chair, and referee Randy Anderson takes the chair away as he escapes from the ring. Savage tosses Hall out of the ring, then hits Luger with top rope elbow drops until Sting drops down from the rafters and kicks Savage off the top rope. Stinger hits Savage with two Stinger Splashes before putting him in the Scorpion Death Lock. Hall returns with "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, and the two fo them taunt Savage, refusing to help him. Sting then takes Savage out of the Scorpion Death Lock and eyes Hogan to end the show.

He congratulates Sting on winning the World Heavyweight Championship, but tells him he's a walking target for everyone, including Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. Flair says he respects Bret's bloodline and heritage, but asks how Bret can call himself the best when "The Nature Boy" is on the ticket. Not surprisingly, Bret shows up, and Flair says the crowd wants to hear him call himself "the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be" in front of The Nature Boy. Bret gives him what he wants, then says he wants to add a little "Whoooo!" at the end of it. Flair dares Bret to do that again, and he does, telling Flair that if he's got a problem with it, that's too bad. Flair says Bret may think he may be better than anyone else in the record book, but Bret could not be a better competitor than him, and if Bret feels he is better than him, he wants to hear it.

During the match, it is announced that the injuries that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair received last week are more severe than originally thought after it is announced that Flair has had an MRI. Theodore Long and Nick Patrick argue after the match.
This Rough and Ready (Mike Enos and Dick Slater) vs. The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian)! Lex Luger! Savage! Diamond Dallas Page! Dean Malenko! Chris Jericho! The New World Order!
Lex Luger beats Gret "the Hammer" Valentine with the Torture Rack after Valentine gets caught using the ropes while trying to pin Luger. During the match, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson is seen watching the match from backstage rooting on Valentine. Also, Vincent and Ted DiBiase of The New World Order are seen in the crowd, and it is announced that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan is demanding to make a live announcement tonight. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews referee Nick Patrick, and it is announced that the fine on "Macho Man" Randy Savage for attacking Patrick will be $500 and that he will miss the first five matches of 1997. Patrick tells WCW they will have a war with his legal staff as a result of this decision from the WCW Board of Directors. It is also noted that the referee in "nWo Saturday Night" from last week's episode of WCW Saturday Night acts and sounds much like Patrick. Patrick says the accusations of him being in The New World Order are untrue, and says that the referee in that match is really Randy Anderson.
Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour. It is announced at first that Eric Bischoff is not here, but it is then announced that he will speak with "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Bischoff interviews Savage on the way to his match with Mike Enos. Savage says that The New World Order is in the building, which means "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan is the building. He wants to take Hogan on in the ring right now. Eric Bischoff then shows Savage a video message from Miss Elizabeth, where Elizabeth says that saying sorry to him will never be enough and that she really is a coward for acting out of anger. She wishes that Savage would find forgiveness for some of the things she did and said to him. She tells Savage that she regrets siding with "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan due to how badly Hogan wants to hurt Savage, and wishes she knew how to reach Savage. She tells Savage she feels the same way about him as she did when they got married. Savage's demeanor turns from determined to sullen, and he has no words. Savage paces back and forth, then heads to the back. Bischoff and the cameraman follow Savage to a white limousine, and he gets in before Bischoff can ask him another question. The white limo departs from the arena.
In pre-recorded footage from earlier today, Eddie Edwards tells Diamond Dallas Page he is a one-move wrestler, and he proved it by beating him. He tells DDP he can break an arm or an leg, but not his heart and spirit, and he promises to kick his butt at Halloween Havoc.
Eddie Guerrero beats The Cheetah Kid.
Lee Marshal calls from Minneapolis, Minnesota for the upcoming show there on October 18th in the Target Center for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report. Tickets are available for the show now at all Ticketmaster outlets.
Before the next match, Eric Bischoff makes a reference to the "Double J scandal" in the WWF, saying that "Jarrett can't sing a lick."
Jeff Jarrett beats Big Bubba after Jeff Jarrett punches Jimmy Hart, Big Bubba punches referee Randy Anderson in the eye and Jimmy Hart - who attacks Jeff Jarrett during the match out of hometown jealousy - tosses his microphone to Bubba for use as a weapon only for it to backfire when he runs into a drop kick from Jarrett. Tony Schiavone interviews Jarrett after the match, and it is announced that after Jarrett has thrown his hat in the ring to face The Giant at Halloween Havoc, Jarrett is now officially substituting for "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair in the match. Jarrett says he feels great tonight, as he been making an impact on World Championship Wrestling as he said he would, and he tells The Giant that he'll find that out the hard way at Halloween Havoc. He says that he is not the strongest or the tallest wrestler, but he considers himself the smartest wrestler today, and when he chops The Giant down to size and puts him in the Figure Four Leg Lock, the nWo will be forced to respect WCW, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and of course, Jeff Jarrett.
The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) vs. Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) ends in a no-contest. At the beginning of the match, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Debra McMichael show up to watch the match from ringside. During the match, The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) show up in the crowd with cans of spray paint, and spit towards both The Faces of Fear and Harlem Heat, who immediately confront The Outsiders. The Outsiders leave soon after.
The New World Order ("Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, "Sting," Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Vincent, The Giant, Syxx, Ted DiBiase) show up with Miss Elizabeth. Hogan mocks "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and talks about how he can push any button on Savage to make him do whatever he wants. Miss Elizabeth tries to slap Hogan as she calls her "the greatest actress in the world" and brags about making Savage break down and cry, and states that Savage isn't even deserving of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) show up wearing nWo shirts and with nWo contracts in their hands. Hogan tells them to call on him if they need anything. Knobbs mentions errors in their contracts, and when Hogan looks them over, we find out that Hogan didn't sign off on them, and tells them they don't wear their colors until he tells them.

He wants to take Hogan on in the ring right now. Eric Bischoff then shows Savage a video message from Miss Elizabeth, where Elizabeth says that saying sorry to him will never be enough and that she really is a coward for acting out of anger. She wishes that Savage would find forgiveness for some of the things she did and said to him. She tells Savage that she regrets siding with "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan due to how badly Hogan wants to hurt Savage, and wishes she knew how to reach Savage. She tells Savage she feels the same way about him as she did when they got married. Savage's demeanor turns from determined to sullen, and he has no words.

Jarrett says he feels great tonight, as he been making an impact on World Championship Wrestling as he said he would, and he tells The Giant that he'll find that out the hard way at Halloween Havoc. He says that he is not the strongest or the tallest wrestler, but he considers himself the smartest wrestler today, and when he chops The Giant down to size and puts him in the Figure Four Leg Lock, the nWo will be forced to respect WCW, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and of course, Jeff Jarrett.
