Sting has officially signed for a return match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Hulk Hogan for Halloween Havoc.
Psychosis and Juventud Guerrera beat Rey Mysterio Jr. and Kidman. During the match, it is announced that WCW Mayhem will be released for Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation in 3 days, 3 hours and 50 minutes. (At the top of the show, members of the audience behind Tony Schiavone and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan are seen holding an oversized box of the N64 version of the game and an oversized box simulating the jewel case for the PlayStation version of the game.) After the match, Juventud Guerrera and Psychois are attacked by Konnan and Eddie Guerrero at ringside, and Kidman tries to unmask Psychosis only to be pulled off him Chavo Guerrero Jr. Eddie Guerrero has to keep Chavo away from everyone else, and Chavo argues with Eddie for hanging with Rey, Kidman and Konnan. Afterwards, Psychosis says he will put his mask on the line if Kidman will put his hair on the line. Kidman accepts the challenge, and the Lucha de Apuestes match is made for next week. Kidman says they don't have to wait until next week and that they can do it right now, but Chavo, Psychosis and Juvi head to the back.
Before the next match, Jimmy Hart says that he and Jerry Flynn turned their back on him for one brief second because he said he came in peace, and then Flynn was out on his back in the middle of the ring the next. He says that this week, it won't happen, and that Goldberg is next. Brian Knobbs tells everyone to shut up before telling Goldberg that he's been running around like he is the toughest man on the planet, then says he is the nastiest man on the planet. Just like all the losers in Cincinnati, Ohio and just like the Cincinnati Bengals got squashed, he will kick Goldberg's ass.
Goldberg beats Brian Knobbs, despite the use of a megaphone and a steel chair as weapons and the distraction and attempted interference by Jimmy Hart. After the match, Goldberg addresses Sid Vicious, saying he packed his bags and left like a little girl when he threw a challenge his way. He says Sid has amassed quite a record, but so has he, and since Sid has the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, he wants it. Since he has to go through him, he is going to get it. He says Sid has been a great intimidator over the last several months, but intimidation is his game. Once the hunted, he is now the hunter, and there is no fear in his eyes; only anger, which is directed and will be taken out on Sid. Goldberg gives Sid five weeks, because at Halloween Havoc, the United States title is his and Sid is next.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. As Flair arrives, it is announced that as per the WCW Executive Committee, a match involving Ric Flair has been signed. Flair says we have a real live ballgame now, and tells Sting and Lex Luger they can kick his ass again tonight, as he is here and they have another chance to do so and he is still up and running. He then tells Sting he will slap the paint off his face tonight. All of a sudden, "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit shows up, and says he does not mean to rain on his parade. He says that Flair deserves a shot at Sting - or what is left of him - after he gets done with Sting tonight, as he has a contract for a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He says he has been waiting for two weeks, and he will not wait for a third. He tells Sting that if he is man enough, he will come to the ring and defend the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against him. Flair says that if Benoit has a contract, he wants Sting out here now. Benoit says it is his time, and tells Sting to face him alone for the World title if he has the guts, because the rest of The Revolution (Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Shane Douglas) will be in the back, he has something to prove to the world and Sting will find out how intense he is. Flair says he is coming to find Sting backstage right now, and runs to the back.
We see footage for the Nitro Girls tryouts in Raleigh, North Carolina. "Mean" Gene Okerlund then introduces Kimberly and Tygris to the stage. Kimberly says there is a new finalist representing North Carolina: Ashley Beck. Tygris then talks about the tryouts for Cincinnati, Ohio, saying that the turnout was bigger than in any other city they have been to so far. The two potential finalists are Keisha Simpson and Robbi Spencer. The two finalists are brought out to the stage, and viewers can vote on who goes on to the finals at WCW.com. The next tryouts for the Nitro Girls contest are at Main Event Fitness at Marietta, Georgia and the $3 Cafe in Buckhead, Georgia.
"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit vs. Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship ends in a no-contest.. Before the match begins, it is announced that for the first time ever, Hulk Hogan, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart will be on the same team next week in a six-man tag team match against Diamond Dallas Page, Lex Luger and Sting. During the match, Sting shoves Benoit into referee Nick Patrick, sandwiching him into the corner. Benoit hits Sting with a Tombstone Piledriver, but Nick Patrick is out cold and Benoit tries to revive him. Benoit puts Sting in a German Suplex bridge pin, but Lex Luger runs into the ring and hits Benoit with a baseball bat. Patrick rolls over and tries to count the pinfall, then "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair shows up and goes after Luger only to be leveled with a Diamond Cutter by Diamond Dallas Page, who has just run into the ring. Suddenly, Hulk Hogan shows up, and DDP, Luger and Sting clear the ring. Sting retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Berlyn beats Scott Armstrong after Berlyn's bodyguard punches Armstrong in the face with a taped fist. Before the next match, it is announced that Diamond Dallas Page and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair will go one-on-one later tonight. After the match, Berlyn puts Scott Armstrong in a submission maneuver with his knee on Armstrong's back, and Brad Armstrong runs into the ring to protect Scott.
We see footage from earlier tonight where Violent J and Vampiro tells Shaggy 2 Dope to be aerial and to be careful in his match tonight.
Tony Schiavone plugs the WCW Hotline.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Diamond Dallas Page. DDP says nobody has done more for professional wrestling than him and that he has done more for professional wrestling than Pete Rose has done for baseball. He says the only thing more pathetic than the fans in Cincinnati, Ohio is "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. At one time, he thought Flair was the greative active former World champ of all time, but Flair just won't go. He says Lex Luger and Sting tried to help Flair find his way last week and help him retire, which he says is something that has to happen. He says that Flair is no longer the man, and that it must kill Flair that he has done all that Flair has done in over 25 years in a mere five. He says he is above Flair in every way imaginable, and tonight, he will take Flair to "Bang Town" permanently.
Halloween Havoc is coming live to pay-per-view on Sunday, October 24 at 8 PM Eastern!
Evan Karagias beats Blitzkrieg. Near the end of the match, Sid Vicious shows up with referee Charles Robinson, and makes quick work of both Blitzkrieg and Karagias. Sid's streak increases to 85-0, then Sid tells the crowd for Goldberg if they want to. He tells Goldberg that he comes out to the ring with his police protection and challenges him as he accuses him of jumping people from behind. He tells Goldberg he does what he wants, and at Halloween Havoc, he will give Goldberg what he thinks he wants, but they will play by his rules. Between now and Halloween Havoc, Goldberg cannot come within 10 feet of him or touch him. If Goldberg doesn't do what he says, he will lose his opportunity. If he is a good boy, he will become just another work on his march to the year 2000, when he will be declared "The Millennium Man" and hold the record of WCW, and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Sid then puts Karagias in a powerbomb before pinning him, increasing the streak to 86-0.
We see a video package for The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler" CHris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Shane Douglas).
Perry Saturn beats Eddie Guerrero after Shane Douglas punches Eddie in the back of the head with a steel chain as referee Nick Patrick deals with the rest of The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler" Chris, Dean Malenko, Douglas) and the rest of the group that is now officially christened The Filthy Animals that Eddie is a part of (Rey Mysterio Jr., Konnan, Kidman) at ringside. Perry does not like this, and reluctantly takes the win.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund talks about how Hulk Hogan lost the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Halloween Havoc last year, and how he has become the new people's champion in the last year. He then interviews Hogan. Hogan says Las Vegas, Nevada is on the tip of his tongue, but it is nice to see the red and yellow running wild in Cincinnati, Ohio. He tells Sting he is not impressed, and come Halloween Havoc, he will train, say a prayer and kick his ass. He is not happy with Lex Luger hitting him with a bat and hitting Bret "The Hit Man" Hart with a low shot with the bat, and tonight, he saw him trying to take out "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Due to these actions, the WCW Executive Committee made next week's six-man tag team match, where he will kick Lex Luger's ass on the way to Halloween Havoc. He also says he never thought that he and Bret had anything in common, but they do. He also never thought he would have something in common with Flair, but they do. Next week, he, Flair and Bret will take Sting, Luger and Diamond Dallas Page and kick their asses before he kicks Sting's ass at Halloween Havoc.
Before the next match, Vampiro and The Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) hold up signs saying MTV, radio and "your mama" fear ICP.
Lenny retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Shaggy 2 Dope after Shaggy 2 Dope is shoved into Lodi, who lands on Violent J and Vampiro at ringside as he keeps them at bay. When the match again, the crazed Lodi fan from previous weeks gets decked by Lodi after charging the ring, and gets escorted out of the arena.
We see a video package for The Nitro Girls. The search for the Nitro Girl will take place in Atlanta, Georgia (September 25); Kansas City, Missouri (October 2); Biloxi, Mississippi (October 9); Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (October 16); and Phoenix, Arizona (October 23).
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Rick Steiner. Rick says there are only two men who can walk the road, and if you are not a Steiner, you have no chance. He fears no man because he is the man, and there is no man who can outwrestle or outfight him. However, he has two respect for two men: Sid Vicious, who will take Goldberg's head off, and his brother Scott Steiner, who appears for the first time in quite some time with his arms bigger than ever. Scott says he is back, and asks Okerlund if he has seen an arm bigger than his. He says he was watching SportsCenter the other night and hearing about athletes beating records, but he has been chasing the record of Wilt Chamberlain, who says he has laid down 20,000 women. Come January, he will meet that milestone, and he asks if any freaks want to help him break that record, all they have to do is meet him in the back, as all his freaks know that there's nothing finer than Scott Steiner and that nobody pushes it like Poppa Pump. He tells all the freaks that he is his hook-up, and to holler if you hear him. Last time he was in WCW, he was the United States Heavyweight Champion; now Hulk Hogan has left the nWo and is making him puke yellow and red. He says that Hogan has forgotten the nWo's motto: "You don't leave the nWo until we tell you." He tells Hogan to pray that God strikes him down, as he can take all the vitamins and saying all the prayers he wants, because he will be kissing his ass as nobody leaves nWo without paying the price. He tells Hogan he is coming after him and that Hell is coming with him.
Booker T beats Kanyon. Before the match, is is announced that WCW Mayhem will be released for Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation in three days, one hour and thirteen minutes.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for August 16, 1999
We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.
Lash LeRoux vs. Juventud Guerrera ends after Sid Vicious gets in the ring and decimates both men. Sid then announces that, in case nobody knows what is happening, that his name will be heard the loudest. In the year 2000, he will accumulate more wins than anyone in the history of professional wrestling, and that the name "Goldberg" will be obsolete. He says he does not enjoy beating people up like this, but it is what he has to do. He then says the fans can chant for Hulk Hogan all night long, but Hogan has something that belongs to him: the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He says Hogan is not the World champ until he goes through him, and he will continue to beat people down like he did Lash LeRoux and Juventud Guerrera all night until he gives it to him.
"Lord" Steven Regal vs. Scotty Riggs ends when Sid Vicious stays true to his word and destroys both men. He tells Hogan that the rest of the locker room does not have to go through this, and to give him the World title or else this will happen all night long. He then tells Goldberg that is one more win towards making Goldberg's own name obsolete.
Before the next match, Mike Enos gets in Ernest "The Cat" Miller's face. The Cat then makes a prediction that he will beat Enos in less than four minutes, or else he will leave town and never come back.
Ernest "The Cat" Miller beats Mike Enos in three minutes and thirty-nine seconds when Sonny Onoo gets on the apron, distracting Enos. Enos lifts Onoo over his head, but The Cat kicks Enos in the back of his head, giving him the win after Enos drops Onoo.
We see a short video package from Berlyn, who has not been seen in months.
Sid Vicious is seen beating up Silver King and La Parka in a commissary storage room. He says that maybe now, Hogan will lsiten, as he does not want to see this happen to everyone in WCW. He tells Hogan to give him the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and this will all be over.
Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Lenny Lane ends with Sid Vicious destroying booth men in the match as well as Lodi, who ends up being part of a double choke slam with Lenny Lane. Sting runs in before Sid can hit Rey with a second power bomb, and both Sid and Sting brawl until Hulk Hogan runs into the ring. Sid leaves the ring, and "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews both Hogan and Sting. Sid tells Hogan knows he does not want any of him, and tells him to tell his fans that he will give him the World title. Hogan tells Sid that he looks pretty happy that he got away from Sting, but not as much as he got away from him. When he puts the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on the line, he wants Sid at 100%, because he came to train, say his prayers and kick Sid's ass. Sid says there is a miscommunication and that Hogan should think about it, but Hogan says Sting has his back and that Sting is the reason he put Kevin Nash out of the business and the reason he will beat Sid Vicious, and when he does that, he will give Sting a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship next week. Hogan thanks Sting, because he will prove himself when he beats Sid, and says it looks like Sting accepted his challenge. Sting says it is "a big, fat, definite yes." Hogan tells Sting that they are friends right now, but next week, he is coming to train, say his prayers and kick Sting's ass.
Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) beat Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock). During the match, Public Enemy puts Shaggy 2 Dope through a table. As Johnny Grunge continues to splash Violent J - who is told by referee Johnny Boone that he is not the legal man - Violent J uses Boone as a human shield, knocking Boone out. Vampiro goes up top and hits Grunge with a spinning heel kick off the top rope, then places Violent J on top of Johnny Grunge to get the win, even though Violent J is still not the legal man.
We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray). Booker T says it was a long two years, but he and Stevie Ray are back again. There is no love lost for The Triad (Diamond Dallas Page, Kanyon, Bam Bam Bigelow), but he thanks Diamond Dallas Page for making Harlem Heat the eight-time WCW World Tag Team Champions. Stevie Ray says he had a relationship with "four fruit booties who couldn't get the job done." Be that as it may, he and Booker T are family. Booker T says they will defend the tag team titles each and efery week, and next week, they will "turn this mother out" in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It is announced that Berlyn will be making his debut on Nitro in two weeks. (Despite being identified as Alex Wright when he appeared the last time he was on Nitro, he is hyped up as a brand new athlete.)
The nWo (Horace Hogan, Vincent, Scott Norton, Brian Adams) show up. Horace says he heard Stevie Ray's comments about them being "four fruit booties that couldn't get the job done." He doesn't care if Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) are tag team champs or not, and says that they could not beat any member of the nWo, even in singles competition. Horace tells Vincent that there is nothing worse than a brother gone bad, and hands the microphone to Scott Norton, knowing he has something to say about it. Norton gives Stevie Ray some advice: if he thinks he can come and go from the nWo, he is mistaken, and if Stevie Ray comes crawling back, he might give him his spot back. He then reconsiders, saying Stevie Ray is on the nWo's most wanted list. Brian Adams - now clean shaven - takes the mic and says that Norton came up with a heck of an idea. He says he and Vincent will take on Harlem Heat tonight, and Norton tries to get Adams' attention. When Adams pushes him away, Vincent, Horace and Norton attack Brian Adams and rip off his nWo shirt. Horace then says that Adams is now "former nWo" before he, Vincent and Norton leave him laying. Referees check on Brian Adams afterward.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Kidman. Kidman says that he, Rey Mysterio Jr., Konnan and Eddie Guerrero are creating their own circle of friends among each other that hang out both on-camera and off and have mutual respect for each other having all faced other in the ring in the past. Kidman goes on to say "We're just a bunch of filthy animals, y'know?", which ends up becomingthe basis for their group name, The Filthy Animals. Okerlund asks Kidman if he has seen the Nitro Girls pay-per-view, but Kidman says the real question is how many times he has seen it. He says the Nitro Girls are all good looking, but he says Kimberly is drop-dead gorgeous and his personal favorite. Despite saying that this is being said with no disrespect to Diamond Dallas Page, an irritated and angry DDP shows up. Kidman says he has nothing but respect for him and his wife, and says Kimberly is a beautiful woman. DDP says Kidman cannot even spell "respect," and midway through spelling the word out for him, he slaps Kidman in the face before plowing him into the mat before asking for areferee, saying Kidman "thinks he's got the shot, but not on my dime." Referee Billy Silverman shows up, and the bell is called for an impromptu match.
Kidman beats Diamond Dallas Page in an impromptu match after reversing a delayed Diamond Cutter into a roll-up. After the match, DDP attacks Kidman from behind, then hits referee Billy Silverman with a Diamond Cutter. Kidman jumps on top of DDP, but he also eats a Diamond Cutter before he slams him in the corner, puts him in the tree of woe position. He then removes Billy Silverman's belt and rips off Kidman's tanktop before whipping Kidman in the ribs with it. Kimberly shows up and tries to get DDP to calm down, telling him Kidman is his friend. She gets DDP to calm down and escorts him to the back.
Before the next match, Disco Inferno says he is a superstar, a sex symbol, a bonafied booty-shaking badass and an icon. He says Kidman's clique has been calling him all week getting him to join, but he says that for future reference, "Don't call me, I'll call you." He then says there are a lot of guys in the back who want to be the next superstar in WCW, and says they might as well stay on the bench as he is the present and future superstar of WCW, and he is willing to prove it. "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit shows up and says Disco is right, but tells Disco that he won't be climbing up his ladder, as he lays down for no one. He says Disco's problem is that he stepped in the way of The Revolution (Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas), and tells him to get in the ring and see what that experience is all about. Disco tells Benoit there is a fine line between courage and stupidity, and he has crossed it. He plans to give Benoit "a good old-fashioned New York tushy kickin'."
"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Disco Inferno.
Goldberg quickly beats Barry Windham after Kendall Windham and Bobby Duncum Jr.'s attempts to lay a hand on him fail.
Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) beat The nWo (Scott Norton, Vincent and Horace Hogan) after Brian Adams shows up and gets vengeance against the nWo for kicking him out of the group, taking on all three men at the same time. All the while referee Nick Patrick lets this happen, more or less making Brian Adams the unofficial third man on Harlem Heat's team in the match.
Rick Steiner says he does one thing that he does well. He says he is the D.F.G. and he rules the dog point. If anyone wants some, they can come get some. If anyone doesn't like him, they can bite him.

Kanyon runs in and gets involved, then goes up top only to be pushed off by Shane Douglas, pushing Perry Saturn on top of Bigelow as Bigelow readies Greetings From Asbury Park to give Saturn the win. Kanyon and Bigelow continue to attack Saturn after the match, but "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko show up and run Kanyon and Bigelow out of the ring.

We see a press conference with Rey Mysterio Jr. Konnan, "Mean" Gene Oklerund, Eric Bischoff and Master P. It is announced that Master P will be getting in the wrestling ring soon, and will be accompanied by his bodyguard Big Swoll. Master P shows up with Big Swoll, and Master P says he is glad to be in WCW, and says it will be a real exciting year. He mentions his and Big Swoll's confrontation with Curt Hennig, Barry Windham and Bobby Duncum Jr., and goes on to talk about how he grew up a professional wrestling fan. He says it is an honor to make this thing happen with Eric Bischoff. Rey says that with all the music Master P brings out and appreciates the message that he brings to the world. Bischoff says the No Limit Soldiers' perspective is a positive one, and that there is a lot of positive things to their approach to everything that will benefit WCW.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage, Madusa, Gorgeous George and Miss Madness show up. Savage says he is the boss and the greatest professional wrestler today, then talks about how he was "crowned the uncrowned, undisputed champion of all time" and says it was the crime of the century when he made the illegal elbow legal. Every time he dropped it, people got beat. Last night was no exception, and his entourage saw it. He goes on to say that "Mona" beat 25,937 to earn the title of "Miss Madness," and that Gorgeous George is retiring from professional wrestling undefeated. He then says he hit the elbow from the top rope, and says he beat Kevin Nash for the three count. On another night, Gorgeous George would have fainted, but he didn't get to kiss her like he wanted to then. He doesn't need to give her mouth-to-mouth or smelling salts, but he is giving everyone a wake-up call, and has one word for Kevin Nash. He says he will be unbelievably vicious. He says this is not the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end, as Nash is not in his league and he is the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. He says he will become more vicious than anyone will understand, and has two words for Nash: Wolfpac sucks. Savage then says he will get Nash, as Nash's career is over and his is on fire.
We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.
Kidman beats Hugh Morrus. During the match, Morrus tosses Kidman up so that he comes down on the top of a fully opened steel chair. Amazingly, Kidman hits Morrus with a facebuster on the chair followed by the top rope Shooting Star Press for the win.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who shows up wth "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Flair looks at himself on the video screen, then says it is great to be the man and the president of WCW again. If anybody doesn't think he is the man, they will have to see what he does tonight, as he will pull a major coup and ask one of the greatest wrestlers ever, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, to come to the ring and accept the position of WCW Vice President. Piper shows up with an entourage of bagpipe players, and promises as Vice President to uphold the office much like they do in Washington, DC, and says it will be a pleasure to call the shots in WCW with him. Suddenly, Dean Malenko shows up and says that if there was a man coming out of a 15-year coma turning the television to World Championship Wrestling, he would have thought that time never elapsed after looking at Piper and Flair, and says time is moving a lot faster than they think. He told them where he stood two weeks ago, and says he is a little sick and tired of being pushed down and held down. He is speaking for the younger wrestlers in the locker room, as it is their time and their moment. He tells Flair to have a little class, and to step down and pass the torch, saying Wayne Gretzky and John Elway have stepped down. Flair says he is out of his mind comparing him to Gretzky and Elway, and says he will not pass the torch. Malenko says he will not ask him anymore, and says he will take it collectively, whether he likes it or not. Flair tells Malenko he is in pretty heavy traffic to talk to him like this. Malenko then wants to know exactly where "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson stands. Anderson says you do not bum rush greatness, and that greatness comes to those who earn it. He gives Malenko the best advice he can give him: he is either a Horseman or a casualty of the Horseman, and he is standing where he has stood for the last ten years. Piper tells Malenko to get out of the ring, as he wasn't invited, and when he refuses, he is attacked by Piper. As he, Flair and Anderson take the boots to him, Buff Bagwell runs into the ring, but he fares no better. "The Crippler' Chris Benoit and Saturn try to help, but they are attacked backstage by Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam Bigelow and Kanyon.
Eric Bischoff shows up on commentary as Tony Schiavone plugs the WCW Hotline.
Before the next match, Ernest "The Cat" Miller says he did finish the job last night against Scott Norton, and if the fans would shut up, he could finish the job tonight. He calls him out because he wants to fight somebody, and if he does not show up, he will get in the car, get his karate gi and beat up everybody in the building before he brags about beating the entire black-and-white nWo. The nWo theme plays, but stops when Norton does not show up. The Cat says that Norton will not show up, but as he does, Norton runs into the ring and chops The Cat, starting the match.
Ernest "The Cat" Miller beats Scott Norton. During the match, The Cat gets one of his shoes on, and Norton inadvertently clotheslines the referee.

Hart is about to hit Finley with the chair when Finley grabs the chair, starting a tug-of-war that accidentally sends Knobbs running first into the chair. After this, Hak shows up and hits Knobbs with a Kendo stick.
Former WWF Women's Champion Sable - who has just quit the World Wrestling Federation - is seen in the front row.
Kevin Nash shows up. He says he was sitting in the back (as the crowd chants for Sable) and says he has heard about "Macho Man" Randy Savage talking about how he beat him, and says that if that was the case, he wouldn't be holding the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He tells Savage to "go see the people in the white coats" after the show is over, then says he is not here to talk to Savag3e and is instead here to talk to Sid Vicious. He doesn't know where he has been, and does not care. He knows Sid is in the building, and wants him in the ring with the World title on the line. If Sid wants to attack him from behind and powerbomb him, then he had better bring it tonight as he is going to kick his ass. Even with sandals on, he is ready to give him a beating. Sid shows up on the video screen, saying he knows Nash really well and knows what button to push, and says he pushed the right button last night as he has now made the biggest mistake of his life. Sid says Nash has invited the devil to dance tonight, and he will take the invitation to take what is his. He says he will start and end with him tonight, and wants to know if Nash can take it all the way. Nash tells Sid he has bitten off more than he can chew, and he will see him tonight. He says he is walking out with the gold tonight.

After a backstage brawl involving a motorcyle and a Hummer, Steiner puts Hak through the roof of the Hummer before Sting comes out from the roof, puts Steiner through an RV and hits him with the bat a few times on the ramp before saying "Riddle me this, riddle me that...who's afraid of the big black bat?" before giving us two riddles. The first one is "What's black and brown and looks good on Sting? A Doberman Pinscher!" and "What's black and white and looks good on Steiner? Sting!" He then attacks Rick Steiner with the bat again.

Suddenly, Curt Hennig, Barry Windham and Bobby Duncum Jr. are seen at DJ Ran's turntable playing their own theme, which now has lyrics. Master P tells Curt Hennig that if he wants a piece of him, he'll get it. Master P then plays his own music.
Before the next match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up with Madusa, Miss Madness and Gorgeous George and says that Kevin Nash is at the crossroads of a vicious career. He demands that Nash hand over the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, as everybody knows that he beat him last night. Kevin Nash tells Savage to come get his belt since he is so delusional. Savage says that he is the real WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and as he reaches for the belt, Nash drops it before punching Savage.

Before the next match, The Genius reads a poem: "Here is to the Legion of Sissies / a fate much worse than doom / from L.O.D. to L.O.S. / it's worse than you presume / As sure as I'm The Genius with The Brothers Beverly / Hawk, Animal and Ellering are now the sissies three."
The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) beat Bobby Knight and "Jumpin'" Jim Brunzell. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and Paul Ellering. Ellering says he has had it up to hear with The Beverly Brothers and all their "sissy talk," and he wants them completely wiped out. Hawk and Animal say "No problem." After the match, one of The Beverly Brothers's opponents gets "LOS" painted on their chest, then place a fake mohawk cap on top of their head before slapping them.
We hear from Virgil, who thanks the fans all around the world for being behind him 100%, as the competition is sky high and a guy named Papa Shango is around. He says that together, he and the fans can conquer the world and he can take on some of the strange guys in the World Wrestling Federation. We also hear from Repo Man, who says his job is never done as he has to do his job in the middle of his night. He says he owns The British Bulldog, and says he will put the leash on and choke him if he barks too long.
It is announced that The Ultimate Warrior has stopped convulsing and that an update on his condition will be available next week.
Next week: The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke)! Kamala! The Undertaker! Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster)!
