Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for January 17, 2000

A Cadillac limousine with "Nash N L" on the front license plate shows up, and The New World Order (Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner) climb out of it. WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash tells Jarrett and Scott Steiner "Boys, let's go make some history!"

Kidman beats Psychosis.

In footage from earlier today, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson says last night was a mixture of highs and lows in WCW with the beating Terry Funk took from Kevin Nash as well as "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit's World title win, which Anderson calls an honor to referee. He says what he means and he means what he says, regardless of what trouble it gets him into or what highs it got him to, and promised to call the match down the middle as he owed it to everybody from the competitors to the fans. He admits he was in awe from what he saw in the match and had to remind himself that he was the special guest referee, and went head-to-head on every count to make sure he was not out of position. However, watching the match again, he realizes that Sid Vicious' foot was underneath the bottom rope when Benoit made him tap out to the Crippler Crossface, and that the match should not have been decided at that time. Anderson says he blew it and admits he made a mistake, and that he respects what the referees do more than ever. He did his best, but it was not good enough. As a result, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship has been vacated again.

The New World Order (Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner) head to the WCW Commissioner's office. In a near-reprisal of their roles of Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald), The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris) are seen wearing sunglasses and three piece suits as they stand guard near the door.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Booker T and Midnight. Booker says he has not forgotten where he comes from and keeps it in his heart everyday. He says he does not wear it on his sleeve and talk about it all the time, as he is always down for his crown. He also says he thought Big T was still locked up and that both he and Stevie Ray agreed he was no good, but now Stevie Ray has learned from his mistakes. Booker T says it will be up to him to teach Stevie Ray how it is supposed to be done.

Stevie Ray and Big T show up. Stevie Ray tells everyone to take a look at "the new and improved Harlem Heat." He is willing to give his brother Booker T another chance, as they have fought before, but not in front of the fans. If Booker T comes out right now, he is willing to give him another chance. Stevie calls Booker out, and Booker shows up. Booker and Midnight show up, but Stevie tells Booker this is between them and them alone, and tells Booker T to leave Midnight in the back so they can work it out. Stevie says he and Booker have always had their difference and have worked things out in the past, but as Stevie Ray keeps talking, so does Big T. Booker punches Big T in the face, and Stevie Ray blindsides Booker T as Booker goes to work on Big T. Stevie Ray tells referee Nick Patrick to start the next match immediately as Big T puts Booker T in a Tiger Bomb.

Big T beats Booker T. During the match, Stevie Ray distracts Booker T, allowing Big T to pull a slapjack out of his fanny pack and smak Booker T in the head with it as referee Nick Patrick is preoccupied with Stevie Ray. After the match, Stevie Ray tells Booker T that if he had a little more street smarts, he would not have been beaten tonight. As Stevie Ray and Big T leave, Midnight shows up and has a staredown with Stevie Ray and Big T.

Backstage, Big Vito and Johnny The Bull tell Disco Inferno he will make the family proud tonight.

Vampiro beats Disco Inferno.

Scott Steiner brings some women into WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash's office.

Be the first to collect all five collectible WCW Surge cans: Booker T, Sting, Kevin Nash, Rey Mysterio Jr. and Goldberg!

3 Count (Evan Karagias, Shane Helms, Shannon Moore) are in the ring. Karagias says they appreciate all the fan mail from all the ladies out there, and that tonight is the fans' night as they will see a perfomance as they will never forget. Before that performance can begin, David Flair, Crowbar and Daffney show up.

David Flair and Crowbar retain the WCW World Tag Team Championships against 3 Count (Shane Helms and Shannon Moore). During the match, Standards and Practices (Lenny Lane, Lodi, Miss Hancock) show upand take note of what is going on. Later on in the match, David Flair smacks Evan Karagias in the back with his crowbar. Standards and Practices then leave.

Backstage, The New World Order (Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner) are still with the women that Scott Steiner brought when all the women leave. Kevin Nash then focuses on nWo business, saying they need to get rid of The Old Age Outlaws (Terry Funk, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff).

Tank Abbott beats The Mestro in a Shoot Fight Rules Match with one punch. After the match, "Screamin'" Norman Smiley shows up and eggs Tank Abbott on. As he does, he backs into Meng, but Meng is more interested in Abbott than Smiley. Smiley has to drag Meng away from Abbott.

Backstage, the WCW locker room is seen heading towards the arena.

The WCW locker room enters the ring. Afterwards, WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash shows up with The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris). Nash says that as he looks at the locker room in the ring, he realizes why he became WCW Commissioner. He has goals for everybodyi n the ring as well as the commentary, saying he wants to give a personality to Mike Tenay, a brain to Brian Knobbs, a heart to Tank Abbott, and courage to "Screamin'" Norman Smiley. He then says "Wait a minute, I sound like Oz out here!" The crowd then chants for Goldberg, and Nash tells them that if they keep the chants up, he will fire "that son of a bitch." He says that last night, an injustice was done, and asks Jeff Jarrett to come up on stage. He then says that in a drunken haze, Terry Funk stripped Jarrett of the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, and says those injustices will not happen on his watch. He give the belt back to Jarrett, then says "Brothers don't shake; brothers hug" before they hug each other. Jarrett then takes the microphone and says he has two words for everybody: "Holy slapnuts." Nash then says there will be afew rule changes in WCW that everyone will abide by on a daily business. The first rule is health, and from here on out, mandatory examinations will be held before each and every match, including rectal exams. As he asks everyone to go to the back and see "Dr. Jellyfinger" after this meeting, Sid Vicious is seen in the locker room watching what is going on on a television monitor as he carries a can of Surge in his hands. This leads to the crowd chanting for Sid. Rule number two is locker room equality, and everyone will be in the same locker rooms. Also, whenever anyone sees him, they will look to the ground and refer to him as "Lord Master." Rule number three is that nobody is allowed to ask what is going on with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at any time, as his official statement on the matter is "I'll let you know." Rule number four is that there will be no illegal substances in the locker room, and that dogs are going through the locker room and each and every vial of Viagra will be confiscated. He then says "Lex...I'm sorry." He then mentions last night's match between Buff Bagwell and Diamond Dallas Page, and asks Buff "Are you doin' Kim or what?" Since nothing was settled, as Commissioner, his first main event will be Bagwell vs. DDP with Kimberly as the special guest referee. He then tells Kimberly that he has got a referee's outfit for her tonight, as well. As for the fans, he tells them to realize that The New World Order (Nash, Jarrett, Scott Steiner) is now running the show, and they may see heroes on the ring, but on this stage tonight, they are witnessing gods.

Backstage, Kimberly meets with The New World Order (Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner). WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash hands Kimberly the referee's shirt, and Kimberly is none too thrilled when she finds out she has to referee a match between Diamond Dallas Page and Buff Bagwell again. Nash then asks who was better between Bagwell and DDP, and Kimberly storms off.

Before the next match, Mike Rotunda says the only reason Ohio State did not get beaten in a bowl game is because they were not good enough to get into one.

Masahiro Chono and Super J beat The Varsity Club (Mike Rotunda and Scott Steiner). Before the match begins, it is mentioned that Super J is the former nWo Sting. During the match, Rotunda has Chono in a small package, but the ref is too busy with Rick Steiner. Super J gets in the ring and rolls Chono on top of Rotunda to give himself and Chono the win. The Varsity Club go on the attack after the match.

Sid Vicious is on the cover and feature article of the newest edition of WCW Magazine, available now.

Sid Vicious beats The Wall. During the match, Disco Inferno, Johnny The Bull and Big Vito are backstage with The New World Order (Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Ron Harris, Don Harris). Big Vito tells the nWo that they represent the Marinara crime family and to let them know if they need anything. WCW Commissioner Kevin Nash asks them if they remember Vinnie Vegas (who was also Kevin Nash), then asks them to take out Sid Vicious right now. After the match, Johnny The Bull gets in the ring to attack Sid, but ends up eating a choke slam. Big Vito gets in the ring in an attempt to do the same, but he gets powerbombed. Disco gets in the ring, but immediately gets back out when Sid sees him.

Scott Steiner is with two women as he heads to the ring.

The new WCW Mastercard is now available in ten original designs including the new logo, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Konnan and Sting.

Scott Steiner shows up with two women, and he immediately attacks someone dressed as the mascot for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Scott Steiner says he had to bring his own women from Michigan, as finding a woman in Ohio is like finding a needle in a haystack. He says there are some sorority freaks who want to find out if the legend that there is nothing finer that Scott Steiner is true, and if they are in the mood to shake their moneymaker all until they call him "The Big Bad Booty Daddy," all they need to do is meet him in the back and take a number. He then says that when he was in Michigan University, he and the boys loved to come to Ohio State, as beating them was about as easy as their women, and all they need is a real fight song. He then mentions the Michigan University fight son, then he pulls a man over the guardrail, punches him a few times and bloodies his nose. WCW Security escorts the man to safety as Scott Steiner dares the crowd to jump the guardrail and get their ass kicked.

The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth are featured in the newest edition of WCW Magazine, available now.

The Total Package beats Bam Bam Bigelow. During the match, Miss Elizabeth distracts referee Charles Robinson, and Chris "Champagne" Kanyon gets involved as Bam Bam Bigelow gets ready to hit Greetings From Asbury Park only to get booted in teh chest. J. Biggs hands Kanyon's champagne bottle to The Total Package, who smashes it into the back of Bam Bam's head for the win.

The special encore presentation of Souled Out is tomorrow night a 8 PM Eastern.

Buff Bagwell checks on Kimberly, and DDP then hits Buff with the Diamond Cutter for the win.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for January 3, 2000

A Lear jet lands in the airport at Greenville, South Carolina. It is announced that a brand new WCW Commissioner will be announced as WCW Executive Vice President Bill Busch's office tries to keep the new nWo in check.

Before the next match, Mike Rotunda calls the crowd "losers," then talks about the Clemson Tigers, saying they don't deserve to wear the color orange. Kevin Sullivan then guests on commentary for the next match.

The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris) beat Buzzkill and Mike Rotunda to advance in the New Year's Evil Lethal Lottery Tag Team Tournament. During the match, Standards and Practices (Lenny Lane and Lodi) show up with with their assistant (whose name is Miss Hancock), and give Leia Meow a hard time by covering her up with one of their coats. Kevin Sullivan and Mike Rotunda fight them off in the aisle, but this leaves Buzzkill high and dry and allow The Harris Boys to get the win. After the match, Sullivan and Rotunda fight off The Harris Boys but are easily overpowered.

It is announced that a new WCW Commissioner will be named later tonight due to the actions of the nWo last week. It is also announced that Sid Vicious has only suffered compressed vertebrae in his neck, and with proper rest, he will be cleared to face Bret "The Hit Man" Hart for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Souled Out.

A black limousine with the WCW logo on the back window is seen in the parking lot. Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett of the nWo are seen watching this backstage from a monitor, and Scott Steiner says they don't give a damn about the new commissioner. Jarrett says that won't happen, and Kevin Nash says the name for the new commissioner is "a toss-up between Orson Bean and "The Z Man" Tom Zenk." Jarrett then asks where Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is, then Bret is seen entering the building. All of a sudden, Bret is attacked from behind by Sid Vicious, who is wearing a neck brace.

After the break, Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner check on Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. When paramedics approach, they attack them. (One of the paramedics is the future Air Styles, who would be in the company the following year and find greater fame as "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.) We then see a police motorcade surrounding a limousine on Interstate 85.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Diamond Dallas Page. Diamond Dallas Page finds out he has his match with Buff Bagwell at Souled Out, and it will be a Last Man Standing match. Suddenly, Curt Hennig shows up and tells DDP that the powers that be need him in the ring tonight. DDP says he has no problem with that.

PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D) show up before the next match, J.C. Ice says that when PG-13 get in the ring, they have something to talk about, but since they are in Greenville, South Carolina, they have nothing to talk about. They proceed to make fun of a fan's looks Wolfie D introduces PG-13 through hip hop verse. Diamond Dallas Page then runs in and makes quick work of PG-13, then he leaves through the crowd as Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner make their way to the ring. The two of them get in the ring, and Kevin Nash pins J.C. Ice while hooking the tights to win, then Scott Steiner spray paints "NWO" on J.C. Ice while Nash does the same to Wolfie D. The New World Order (Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner) beat PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D) to advance in the New Year's Evil Lethal Lottery World Tag Team Championship Tournament.

Jeff Jarrett and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart approach the ring with baseball bats and guitars.

We see the police motorcade surrounding the commissioner's limousine outside in downtown Greenville, South Carolina.

The New World Order (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner) shows up. Bret talks about how he was attacked backstage by Sid Vicious, and says Sid "didn't get the number of that truck last week" and is now playing petty games with him. Bret calls himself the company's best champion and the best wrestler to put on a pair of tights, and says he has gotten no respects. He says everyone knows what happens when he doesn't get any respect, and he tells Sid he will take Sid out at Souled Out by bashing his skull in and beating him to a pulp like he deserves. He talks about Sid talking about how this is his time, and says this is his time, not Sid's, as he is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. He will prove that at Souled Out, and says the nWo can have the night off from here on in, as he will have some fun tonight. He then hands the microphone over to Jarrett, tells Sid Vicious that if Bret wasn't so hot at him, he would be kicking his ass, and that he might as well kill two slapnuts with one stone. He says his match with "The Canadian Crippler' Chris Benoit will be a three-time ass-whipping by torturing him in the Dungeon Match before manhandling him in the Bunkhouse Brawl, then he will come off the top in the Caged Heat Match. He tells Benoit he should be glad he is in Japan tonight, then says Sid Vicious is here alone tonight. Kevin Nash says the nWo rears its sexy head one more time, and WCW had decided to appoint a Commissioner just to make rules they are going to break. He tells WCW Executive Vice President Bill Busch it is a new millennium but things have not changed and they are still the same sons of bitches they have always been. Scott Steiner says he thought he was going to come out here to retire again, but he does not feel like getting misty eyed two weeks in a row. Last week, when he feigned being injured and shed a tear, the people wanted to like him and did not want him to go, but says the feeling is not mutual. He does not see his fans in the crowd, as his fans are educated, wear a suit and tie and are out on Wall Street. He then calls the Greenville, South Carolina crowd "a bunch of gas pumpin', tobacco chewin', inbred white trash." He tells them to boo him all they want, as he does not give a damn, as Goldberg and Sid Vicious are no match for them. He then tells the fans to stand up and bow down to the greatest athletes in the world in the nWo, then kiss their asses.

The police motorcade with the Commissioner's limousine is at the back of the building.

Stevie Ray guests on commentary for the next match.

David Flair and Crowbar beat Lash LeRoux and Midnight to advance in the New Year's Evil Lethal Lottery World Tag Team Championship Tournament. During the match, Stevie Ray grabs Midnight by the leg and drags her out of the ring, then hits her. Tony Marinara, Disco Inferno, Johnny The Bull and Big Vito then show up as Booker T runs to ringside and confronts Stevie Ray only to be smacked with a slapjack as he checks on Midnight. Lash LeRoux has the match won, but Johnny and Big Vito attack Lash LeRoux behind the referee's back before Crowbar drags David Flair on top of Lash for the win.

The Total Package - dressed like Sting - is seen approaching the ring with Miss Elizabeth.

The new WCW commissioner's limousine is still parked at the back of the building.

Lash LeRoux confronts Disco Inferno backstage only to be attacked by Johnny The Bull and Big Vito as Disco explains himself.

The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth show up to Sting's entrance theme. The Total Package pretends to be Sting, saying the last time he faced The Total Package, he annihilated him, and that there is a no-name wrestler line dup for a match with him tonight so he can redeem himself and protect his reputation. That "no-name wrestler" happens to be Tank Abbott, who approaches the ring. The Total Package tries to beg for mercy, but Miss Elizabeth maces Abbott in the eyes. The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth leave, then Jerry Flynn runs in and attacks Abbott as he is blinded, but as The Total Package and Miss Elizabeth try to leave, they see a black crow near the rmap.

Security gets in front of the WCW Commissioner's limousine to keep The New World Order (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner) from attacking the limousine with baseball bats.

WCW Championship Committee representative Rob Garner shows up. As a spokesman for the Executive Vice President of WCW, Bill Busch, he is here tonight to deliver a message. Since the writers with iron-clad contacts have come to WCW, the company has been in constant struggle, and it has been a constant power struggle between the powers that be and Bill Busch since day one. Two weeks ago, the powers that be swerved the entire world and reformed the nWo. Tonight, things will be a little bit different as all those people they have depended on the past cannot help WCW at this time, like Sting and Goldberg, as they are at home nursing injuries. All along, Bill Busch knew there was one man with the power and knowledge to bring WCW out of the situation it is in, and in the end, if all else fails, he will have to go hardcore on them. He then introduces the man who made hardcore fashionable when he first set foot into a wrestling ring as well as the new WCW Commissioner: Terry Funk. Terry Funk shows up with a group of security guards who then surround the ring, then takes the microphone. He tells the people that he accepted the job as Commissioner of World Championship Wrestling because he loves real professional wrestling, real pain, real desire, real dedication and the real personalities of professional wrestling, not the paper tigers that are created by the powers that be. As far as the nWo is concerned, they are just "a bunch of fat hogs following along behind the slop wagon," except Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara are not throwing out slop; instead, they are throwing out easy money. What he would like to do to Russo and Ferrara is stick a skyrocket up their exhaust and "blow their damn brains out," but he cannot do that without help from an enforcer, and he wantw that enforcer to come down to the ring. That enforcer is "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, who shows up. The crowd chants "We want Falri!" He asks the powers that be if they hear that, then says he sees a lot of familiar faces in the crowd, and whether they love him or hate him, it is real emotion that he earned by dumping a gallon of blood in the arena on any given night. He says Russo and Ferrara know nothing about that, as he did not script all the blood and guts he gave when the fans saw him. This is why he he can walk through the dressing rooms without looking over his shoulder while living in an ivory tower and sending people to do his bidding, as he is man enough to do what he wants to do himself, as does Terry Funk. He says somebody recognized that when he was put back to work, and guys like Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara try to get rid of guys like him because they never had to guts to do it face-to-face. If anyone thinks the nWo will crank up on its own and run roughshod again, you are out of your mind, and if anyone wants them out of the business, they will have to drag them out of the ring by the balls of their feet. Suddenly, The New World Order (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner). Bret says some guys do not know when to quit, and though Terry Funk was so over the hill that he was broken down on the other side, but here he is\, still kicking. He syas this is still a classy way for Funk to go, as he can go in style with him and the nWo. He may have security protecting him, but he can go the easy way or the hard way, and it is only a matter of time. Funk tells Bret he has all the time in the world, and that he is not going anywhere as Bret will not beat him and he will not allow himself to be eaten, as he is the commissioner and he will see that Bret is beaten at Souled Out. He will put a couple of stipulations on his match: if the nWo comes down to ringside and causes a disqualification, he will automatically lose the WCW World Heavyweight Championship; also, there will be a special guest referee who will do justice to WCW, and that man will be "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, who accepts the position. Anderson tells Bret that if he even gets half an inch out of line, he will not be the only one wearing stripes. As far as the rest of the nWo is concerned, Jarrett will get a chance to "kick big Sid's ass" tonight, as he will face Sid Vicious in a Powerbomb Match with the WCW United States Championship on the line. Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner will be going for the WCW World Tag Team Championship, and while he may be middle aged and crazy, he will msee to it that they get screwed. Kevin Nash says he thought Funk was dead. Funk says he is a dead man walking, and Nash says that can be arranged. He compares Terry Funk and Arn Anderson to Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, and says "The Enforcer" has dead and died of tuberculosis. He says their days are days are over and numbered, and he can make all the threats he wants, but they will do things their way and they can go through everybody in two seconds. He then mentions David Flair is running around half-crazy, then proposes playing the nWo way, as they make the rules, not Funk and Anderson. Funk dares Nash to get in the ring, and Nash tells Funk he is a dead man.

WCW Commissioner Terry Funk is seen talking to security, telling them to look for David Flair. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson talks to Funk. Funk tells Anderson that Anderson's problems are his problems, and that he will make sure they get through them together.

Before the next match, Chris "Champagne" Kanyon says he has been to Hollywood, and that Greenville, South Carolina. He says Buff has done the same and made movies, and his movies suck. Luckily for them, Buff is a better wrestler than he is an actor, and for that, he helped him advance in the New Year's Evil Lethal Lottery World Tag Team Championship, and offers him his champagne in appreciation. Bagwell takes the champagne, then says Greenville is Hollywood and that the town thinks Kanyon sucks. He does not like champagne, and unfortunately for Kanyon, and Greenville does not drink it. He then smashes the bottle of champagne on Kanyon's head. "Screamin'" Norman Smiley then shows up as Grrruff, the mascot of the Greenville Gruff of the East Coast Hockey League. Meanwhile, a trainer helps Kanyon to the back along with Kanyon's entourage.

Buff Bagwell beats "Screamin' Norman Smiley and Asya single-handedly to advance in the New Year's Evil Lethal Lottery World Tag Team Championship Tournament after Smiley inadvertently nails Asya in the head with the had of the Grrruff costume. After the match, the rest of The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko) show up and attack Bagwell, then they have to keep both Saturn and Asya apart . Suddenly, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan runs into the ring and fights off The Revolution. Saturn grabs Hacksaw's 2x4 and attacks him with it, then the numbers game catches up until Konnan and Kidman run into the ring, causing The Revolution to retreat.

"The Enforcer" Arn Anderson and WCW Commissioner Terry Funk are frantically looking for David Flair. Meanwhile, the nWo (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner) are also looking for David Flair.

"The Enforcer" Arn Anderson and WCW Commissioner Terry Funk are still looking for David Flair, as the nWo (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner) Daffney catches up with Funk and Anderson.

The New World Order (Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner) beat The Harris Boys (Ron and Don Harris) to advance in the New Year's Evil Lethal Lottery World Tag Team Championship Tournament. During the match, Scott Steiner guests on commentary, and Kevin Nash goes to the tabelfor a baseball bat. As the referee is dealing with Nash, The Varsity Club (Kevin Nash and Mike Rotunda) attack The Harris Boys with steel chairs before tossing one of them back into the ring. Scott Steiner then tags in and makes the pinfall with one of his knees while flexing his muscles.

WCW Commissioner Terry Funk and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson find out from Daffney that David Flair does not want to talk to anybody, even as they explain what is going on to her. As Daffney leaves, she is grabbed from behind by Jeff Jarrett.

As Buff Bagwell is heading to the ring, Chris "Champagne" Kanyon is about to attack Bagwell when Bam Bam Bigelow catches up to him and scoop slams him into a table off the side of the stage before heading to the back. Kanyon's entourage checks on Kanyon before David Flair and Crowbar show up. Vampiro then shows up, saying that he does not like Bagwell and that he is only here due to business he has with David Flair. Vampiro becomes Buff Bagwell's tag team partner for the next match.

David Flair and Crowbar beat Buff Bagwell and Vampiro to advance in the Lethal Lottery New Year's Evil World Tag Team Championship Tournament. During the match, WCW Commissioner Terry Funk and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson show up and try to talk to David Flair. Vampiro suddenly confronts Anderson, telling him to stay out of his match, but Funk grabs Vampiro and ebeats him up before tossing him back into the ring before telling Flair to get in the ring. Flair crawls into the ring as Bagwell hits Vampiro with a Buff Blockbuster and walks out, and Flair makes the cover to take himself and Crowbar to the finals against The New World Order (Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner).

Shortly after the previous match, The New World Order (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner) show up with Daffney, who is being held against her will by Jarrett. Scott Steiner says the Falir has surrounded themselves with ugly women and says Daffney is uglier than David Flair's mother, then asks who will get to her first, David Flair and Crowbar or The New World Order. They then leave with Daffney while Crowbar and David Flair head to the back.

David Flair angrily looks for Daffney along with Crowbar backstage.

Sid Vicious beats Jeff Jarrett by disqualification in a Powerbomb Match. Members of Team Power Plant from The Power Plant (the training facility to World Championship Wrestling) are seen in the front row during the match. During the match, Jeff Jarrett inadvertently slides into the referee, tripping him up before Sid Vicious can hit Jarrett with a powerbomb.

As Anderson continues to be attacked, Nash lays Funk out with a Jackknife Power Bomb before Bret and Jarrett throws Anderson into the trunk of their Cadillac. Jarrett says if they have to run their car over, they will do what they did to Sid Vicious last week as Scott Steiner joins them at the Cadillac. Nash shows up soon afterwards, then The New World Order drives off to end the show.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who has not been seen in a while. He says that the last six months have been a whirlwind, and says that for the first time in five years, he has a real job. He says he has been held down for a lifetime, and that it could not happen in North Carolina for one day. He says he and Hulk Hogan have a date with destiny, and yet when he's gone for six week, Sting is suddenly champion. As for Sting, he was jealous when he first met him, but he knew he was the man and that Sting was the constant and "the franchise." When he walked into the building tonight and found out how Sting beat Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, he was disappointed. Sting suddenly shows up with Lex Luger, who is holding a baseball bat. Flair tells Sting and Luger to get back up the aisle, because he is not done talking yet. Sting says he and Flair go way back, and when he looks back over the last ten years, he wonders how often Flair lured him in and then stabbed him in the back. He says that he and Flair - whom he calls "Slick Ric" - have a very unique situation tonight, as he has a lot of respect for him after putting him on the map and making him who he is at this very moment. He says that Flair is a kiss-stealin', wheelin-dealin', high-flyin', limousine ridin' son of a gun. He says Flair is the dirtiest player in the game, and he learned from him. He says this situation exists because he respects him, and gives him the opportunity to go back to the back peacefully and gracefully. Flair says it is a tribute to Sting's manhood that Sting acknowledges him for his success, for when he starts talking about what kind of guy Flair is, "he sounds like [his] wife." Suddenly, Flair says he will leave, then pretends to leave and gets back in the ring. Sting says that he has been waiting for the last ten years, and says Flair is in power. Ten years ago, he and Luger always wondered when they would have the ball and run with it, and says that now, they are ready to have the ball. Luger says that Flair coined the phrase "total package," and says he respects him, and gives him another chance to walk away. He says diamonds are forever, but Flair is not. This leads to "Luger sucks" chants. Luger does not want to lecture Flair, as Flair knows what is best for his career, but he says this is the year of graceful exits as seen by several pro athletes walking out on top during the year. He demands that Flair take a walk. Flair says he was ready to retire until he watched WCW recently, and noticed they couldn't do it without him, and that is why he is back. He respects Sting, but Sting isn't going to walk over him to get any more notoriety or recognition. He respects Sting, but says Sting will have to earn the rest of it. Flair is then attacked from out of nowhere by Luger, and Luger and Sting proceed to attack Flair. Luger then puts Flair in the Torture Rack before Sting puts Flair in the Scorpion Death Lock. Hulk Hogan and Bret "The It Man" Hart then make their way to the ring, and Sting and Luger slowly get out of the ring. Trainer Danny Young and a few referees check on Flair. Hogan says he does not know what planet Sting and Luger are living on, but he is about to take them out of their dream world. He says what they did to Flair is over the line, and even after all their wars, he still has respect for Flair and he was not about to let Flair get hit with a baseball bat. He and Bret were in the back and saw what was going down, and he says he will be damned if it happens anymore. When he said "training, praying and kicking somebody's ass," he and Bret talked, and now they are going to show what kicking ass is all about. They are not leaving the building, as they are going to get Sting and Luger in the ring and they will make sure it happens about. Bret says it's high time to right some wrongs and that tonight is the perfect night. He tells Sting and Luger to get ready to be excellently executed. Hogan says this one is for him but also for Flair, since the fans respect him. Tonight, he and Bret will kick Sting and Luger's asses. Backstage, Sting and Luger talk. Sting says there is something wrong with this picture, and Luger says he is still not medically cleared and that he does not have his wrestling gear with him. Sting says there is no match.

Two black Mercedes-Benz vehicles surrounded by security show up at the arena. Berlyn comes out of the car in the rear along with interpreter Uta Ludendorff.

Riki Rachtmann butters up the North Carolina crowd, saying the women there are finer than in Miami, Florida as . He then brings out Spice and Kimberly of The Nitro Girls, and Kimberly announces that Zuli Mertz is the finalist for Miami. We then meet the two finalist for North Carolina: Alyson deDecker and Ashley Beck. Viewers can vote on who goes on to the finals at WCW.com. Next week, the fun continues in Cincinnati, Ohio on Saturday morning at 9 AM at The Cincinnati Sports Mall for the first part of the auditions and 10 PM at the Waterfront for the second part of the auditions.

WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon is on the phone, looking to see if Lex Luger is medically cleared. Turns out, he has been cleared for three weeks.

University of North Carolina college basketball players Michael Brooker and Brian Bersticker, NFL Defensive Lineman Tim Goad and Dtroit Pistons basketball player Eric Montross are all in the front row.

Disco Inferno beats Erik Watts. During the match, Sid Vicious is seen watching the match from the locker room. Sid says he feels sorry for the participants. After the match, Disco Inferno says he told everybody he is a superstar, icon, a main eventer and the man who took WCW into the millennium. Sid Vicious shows up with Charles Robinson, and proceeds to decimate both Disco and Watts as his streak extends to 81-0. Sid says someone asks him if he can define "intimidation." He says Bobby "The Brain" Heenan has the perfect answer for that, as he will stereotype him as "the big dumb guy." He says everyone who comes to field - whether it be Heenan, Hulk Hogan, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart or Goldberg - to meet the man and meet him in a battle of wits or a physical battle, everyone comes unarmed with no way to win. He has reached out and taken the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, and he cn honestly say for the first time in WCW, the United States title is untarnished. He will not let trash touch his belt - especially Goldberg - have the opportunity to touch what is his, as in the year 2000, the people will only sing one name: Sid. He then powerbombs Disco Inferno for the third time and pins him, extending the streak to 82 wins.

Silver King vs. Norman Smiley ends after Sid Vicious shows up again and destroys both men. During the match, it is announced that WCW Mayhem will be coming out for Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation in 10 days, 2 hours and 48 minutes. The streak is extended to 84-0, and Sid tells Bobby "The Brain" Heenan to never, ever stereotype him ever again.

The West Texas Rednecks (Barry and Kendall Windham) beat Steven Regal and Dave Taylor after Curt Hennig hits Regal with the cow bell behind referee Mickey Jay's back. During the match, it is announced that according to trainer Danny Young, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair will be okay following the attack on him from Sting and Lex Luger.

Goldberg is seen entering the building, and is escorted to the ring by WCW security and local law enforcement despite not being in his ring gear, much to the annoyance of Prince Iaukea, who is scheduled to face Jerry Flynn, who is already in the ring. Goldberg apologizes to Jerry Flynn, and asks him to give him a second. Goldberg says he has always been told that good things are worth waiting for, but he has run out of patience. Every week, he has been watching Sid Vicious come out to the ring and wreak havoc, and he will admit that he admires his skill, his size and his strength. One thing he will not stand for is his mouth, however, and tonight, he puts a stop to it. Goldberg says he has worked hard at his record, and he came out to the ring and destroyed everybody one by one. Unlike him, however, Sid cheats, comes from behind, interferes in others' matches and stick his nose in other people's business. Tonight, he draws the line, and he stomps a hole in Sid's ass. He tells Sid to show him and the people that he has a backbone, and to come out of the back and show him who the man is. Not only does he know who the man is, so do the people, and it's not Sid. He tells Sid to quit singin' it and start bringin', because he's next and he has all the time in the world. Sid is seen watching from the locker room, and he says it does not happen until he says it is ready to happen, as this is his show. He packs up as he says he makes the decisions around here. Goldberg says it may be tomorrow, it may be next week, but eventually, Sid's ass is next. Goldberg is then attacked by Jerry Flynn, who almost immediately gets Speared and Jackhammered.

Before the next match, Brian Knobbs tells the fans that tonight, he and Hugh Morrus are going to become the new WCW World Tag Team Champions before calling the fans idiots.

The First Family (Hugh Morrus and Brian Knobbs) vs. Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) for the WCW World Tag Team Championships ends in a no-contest after The West Texas Rednecks (Barry and Kendall Windham) get involved in the match; Harlem Heat manages to hold everyone else in the ring off, however. Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) retain the WCW World Tag Team Championships.

The Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) beat Lenny and Lodi after Lodi accidentally hits Lenny with a cross body during a double-team maneuver. Before the match gets started, the kid from the Lodi Party videos - who has been stopped by WCW security for charging the ring before in previous weeks - shows up and gets in the ring before. He gets chased out of the building by WCW security, who try to apprehend him.

Before the next match, "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit says that last night was one of the worst nights of his life, as Sid Vicious beat him from pillar to post and showed him why he calls himself "The Millennium Man." When he put him in the Crippler Crossface, he knew Sid tapped out, and he could not sleep at night thinking about it. When he made it to the arena, he asked the producer to replay the match, he saw Sid tap out on the tape. He did not come here to whine and cry, and congratulates Sid Vicious from beating him for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. He says that he beat Dean Malenko, one of the most talented technical wrestlers in WCW today, to earn a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He says that if Sting thinks he is the man, then he should get into the ring right now to show everybody in the world what kind of champion he is. Instead of Sting, he gets Rick Steiner, who tells Benoit that he was listening to him in the back, but says Sting has better things to do than deal with him. If Benoit wants a title shot, he's got one, and he wants to know how bad Benoit is right here, right now.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Rick Steiner to become the WCW World Television Champion! During the match, Rick Steiner confronts referee Mickey Jay for not counting fast enough. When he pushes Mickey Jay out of the ring, Benoit gets Rick Steiner with a roll-up from behind and gets a three-count to win the title. After the match, Rick Steiner attacks Benoit, but Dean Malenko runs in, and Steiner stops before attacking Mickey Jay again.

We see a video package of The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler' Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Shane Douglas).

Perry Saturn beats Eddie Guerrero. After the match, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Konnan and the rest of The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler' Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas) get in the ring before it gets physical between Eddie and Saturn.

Uta Ludendorff guests on commentary for the next match (and speaks in both English and German).

Berlyn beats Buff Bagwell after Berlyn's bodyguard punches Buff Bagwell in the face behind referee Billy Silverman's back.

We see a narrated video package concerning Sting's actions at Fall Brawl.

Sting and Lex Luger beats Hulk Hogan and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. During the match, Diamond Dallas Page runs in with a baseball bat in his hand, but Hogan cuts him off as Bret has Sting in the sharpshooter. DDP drops the bat, and as referee Charles Robinson is dealing with Hogan and DDP on the outside, Luger hits Bret in the face with the bat, breaking the Sharpshooter and allowing Sting to get the win. Trainer Danny Young tends to Bret as the show ends.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for August 30, 1999

Disorderly Conduct (Tough Tom and Mean Mike) vs. Steven Regal and David Taylor ends when Sid Vicious shows up and decimates Disorderly Conduct while tossing Regal and Taylor out of the ring. Charles Robinson shows up carrying a sign stating "The Record For The Millenium [sic] 73-0." Mean Mike gets a powerbomb, as does Tough Tom, and both men get pinned before Robinson drops some signs to update the count to 75-0. Sid says that as he stands with Charles Robinson, the tally goes higher and higher, and there is seemingly no end. Now, he will have to pick it up a little bit to bring up the number and the intensity to prove without a doubt that he is "The Millennium Man" and he has no equal. The game he plays is easy: two men enter, and only one man survives. He tells the crowd they can cheer for Goldberg until their eyes pop out of their head, and lets them do it. He says the fans will push him to do something he does not want to do, then he grabs Tough Tom and hits him with another powerbomb. Sid tells Robinson they will stick together and he will keep marching until he is on top of the world, for in the year 2000, only one man's name will be chanted - his - and that will be enough. He then tells us to remember "Sid...enough said." He then tells the crowd to shut up, then puts Mean Mike in another powerbomb.

A taxi cab shows up, and out comes Lenny and Lodi. Lenny and Lodi are not allowed in the building as rabid fans cheer them on.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Lex Luger. Luger says that in his 13-year friendship with Sting, he has been through United States and World title matches, and that tonight might be the most important night for himself, the fans and for Sting. He says that Hulk Hogan stood for everything good and right for a decade, but he has proven for the last three years that it was an absolute sham. He says he does not say hollow words, and tonight, he will produce irrefutable evidence of what a con man, sham and scammer that Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania are. He says the evidence is on its way to the building, and we will see what it is later.

It is announced that Berlyn has made his way to the arena. A black limousine is then seen pulling up to the arena, and two bodyguards are seen walking with the car to the side. Berlyn climbs out of the back seat of the car, and his translator, Uta Ludendorff, climbs out with him.

Scott Riggs pins Lash LeRoux. During the match, Vampiro and The Insane Clown Posse show up, and Vampiro says to Riggs "You owe me." Vampiro watches from the top rope as Riggs pins LeRoux. Vampiro tells Riggs "You owe me" again, and Riggs says he owes him nothing.

The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas) shows up. Shane Douglas asks the crowd if they are ready for a revolution, and if they agree with The Revolution ("The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas) that it is time for a change in WCW. He says that his allies in The Revolution are all the real deal, as is himself. Saturn says that for a decade, the people have been watching Rick Steiner, and says it is about time to watch him lose. He wants to face him for the WCW World Television Championship. Benoit says that if there is anyone out there who thinks the road to the United States title is an easy road, all they have to do is come forward and let themselves be known, as it is all about experience and nothing speaks louder than that. He says The Revolution is an experience you do not want to hear from. Malenko says they will not stop until they get their just due, and they agree with one thing: out with the evolution, in with The Revolution.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls. It is announced that there will be an 8-day event to find a new Nitro Girl. Each city will have two semi-finalist, and the final winner will be announced on November 8th, receive a $10,000 prize and receive an invitation to become the newest Nitro Girl.

Kaz Hayashi beats Lodi...or rather, Lenny. During the match, it is announced that WCW Mayhem is coming out in 26 days, 3 hours and 17 minutes. Also during the match, Lodi sends Hayashi into referee Billy Silverman leg-first. Lenny tries to get involved, but Hayashi pins Lenny with an inside cradle. Lenny and Lodi protest the win, but Kaz Hayashi still gets the win. Lenny and Lodi respond by hitting Hayashi with a double-team suplex. (At this point, Lenny is seen wearing a pink bow and pink ribbons on the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.)

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan says Hulkamania is running wilder than it has ever been. When he left this town, he was a champion, and he is more of a champion now that he is back. As he is talking, piano music can be heard briefly. He says that in the wrestling business, a lot of things have changed, but when it came down to the red and yellow and his son telling him to do what was right, he looked the Hulkamaniacs in the eyes. His word is his bond, and he will never stab Sting in the back. He does not know what Lex Luger is on about, and says he will be in the back being cool and eating fruit as he waits for the hard evidence that he is betraying Sting that Luger says that he has. He says he will not pull the trigger on Luger, but if Luger is trying to cause trouble between him and Sting and set him up for something, he'll kick Luger's ass. He told Sting it would be one-on-one between the two of them, and asks Sting what he is going to do when hulkamania runs wild on him.

Next week, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair will get VHS tapes in the Superstar Series courtesy of Time Warner Video. As this is announced, piano music can be heard again.

Rey Mysterio Jr. and Eddie Guerrero beat Blitzkrieg and La Parka. During the match, Vampiro and The Insane Clown Possse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) are seen watching the match from the entryway.

We see the video package for Berlyn again. "Mean" Gene Okerlund is in the ring when Berlyn finally arrives. Berlyn shows up with other men clad in black and with his interpreter Uta Ludendorff. One of the men in the ring pats down Okerlund, then everyone else gets in the ring. Okerlund speaks to Berlyn, who then speaks the answers in German, which is then translated by the interpreter, Uta Ludendorff. Berlyn says he has a message for WCW, and a knowledge of wrestling that the American wrestlers do not understand. He says that when American wrestlers wrestle, they are just wrestling, but when he wrestles, it is an art. He says he was built by a consortium of German businessmen and made into a machine, and that nobody builds better machines than the Germans. He is ready, and has chosen the first man he will destroy: Buff Bagwell. He says Bagwell represents everything America is all about: excess, narcissism and self-indulgence, and he will destroy him. When asked why he refuses to speak English, he says that he has been here before and speaks perfect English, but his language disgusts him and he refuses to speak it again. He then asks where Bagwell is, and says that in his country, losing is unacceptable.

A slightly mussed-about Lex Luger shows up from behind "Mean" Gene Okerlund and says that everything is happening exactly as he predicted it, for as he was sitting in the locker room, he was attacked from behind. When he came to, he claims to have seen the red and yellow of Hulk Hogan going through his bags and smashing out all the windows in his vehicle as he knows he has all the evidence to prove he is a phony.

The West Texas Rednecks (Barry and Kendall Windham) beat Kenny Kaos and Prince Iaukea. After the match, Kendall Windham asks if that is all WCW has for tag teams. Barry says that Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) are nothing as they have beaten them once and can beat them any day of the week. Curt Hennig says it took them one night to win the belts. As he speaks, Harlem Heat show up, brawl with the Windhams and quickly get the upper hand. Bobby Duncum Jr. shows up and hogties Booker T while the rest of the Rednecks take the boots to Stevie Ray.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Lex Luger again. Luger shows up with a manila envelope in his hands, and says he has pictures that prove that Hulk Hogan is scamming everyone. He asks Sting to come to the ring, as he says that Sting really needs to see this. Sting shows up, and Luger says he has irrefutable proof that Hogan is pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. He says that the white Hummer that rammed into Kevin Nash's limousine and nearly ended Nash's career was driven by Hogan, and he produces a picture of Hogan standing next to a white Hummer. Sting looks at the picture, and Luger says he has verified it. Hogan shows up, looks at the picture, and says it does not prove anything. He tells Luger that he is out of his mind, and tells Sting that he told him the truth and that he will not stab him in the back, and that he does not know what Luger is up to. Luger says everyone loves Hogan right now, but he had to expose him. As Sting asks Hogan if he was involved in Nash's injury, Hogan is attacked from behind Diamond Dallas Page, who is accompanied by Kanyon and Bam Bam Bigelow. Nevertheless, distrust is sown between Sting, Lex Luger and Hulk Hogan as security have to pull all three men away from each other.

We see a solo performance by AC Jazz of The Nitro Girls.

Buff Bagwell beats Van Hammer. During the match, Berlyn's entourage as well as his interpreter Uta Ludendorff are seen taking notes on Buff Bagwell.

We see the footage of the white Hummer hitting Kevin Nash's limousine, trapping Kevin Nash inside and causing great damage to Nash himself.

Evan Karagias beats Mike Enos. During the match, it is announced that WCW Mayhem will be released for Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 in 26 days, 1 hour and 57 minutes. Also during the match, Vampiro and The Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) show up, and ICP distracts referee Charles Robinson so that Vampiro can attack Mike Enos behind Robinson's back and allow Karagias the victory. After the match, Vampiro tells Karagias that he owes him. Suddenly, The Demon shows up, and tells Vampiro "Not here...not now...not this time."

Before the next match, Brian Knobbs asks Shane Douglas and Dean Malenko who made them the leaders of the revolution, and tells him to get in the ring with The First Family (Jimmy Hart, Knobbs, Hugh Morrus) so he can give them something to cry about.

The First Family (Hugh Morrus and Brian Knobbs) vs. The Revolution (Shane Douglas and Dean Malenko) ends in a double count-out. During the match, Jimmy Hart tries to strike Dean Malenko, who gets caught by Malenko, Malenko moves out of the way, and Knobbs tackles Hart instead.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan again. Hogan thanks the fans for sticking with him, and says he had to take a phone call and tell his son Nick that he would never stab him or Sting in the back. He does not know what Luger is up to, but next week, he is going to throw mud in his face and prove him wrong. He then says being WCW World Heavyweight Championship takes a lot, and says he is tired of Diamond Dallas Page calling him out every week. Tonight, he wants to get it on tonight with Diamond Dallas Page, but he knows Goldberg is advertised for the main event tonight, and asks Goldberg to come to the ring. Goldberg shows up, and Hogan says he knows what is up with Luger, but says DDP has crawled so far up inside of him that he cannot even think. He knows Goldberg is advertised, but he asks Goldberg to step aside so he can get a piece of DDP. Goldberg says it's a given that he wants to rip Goldberg's throat out, and since Hogan has a reason to do the same, he one-ups him by proposing that the two of them wipe out The Jersey Triad (Diamond Dallas Page, Kanyon, Bam Bam Bigelow) once and for all. All of a sudden, DDP shows up with Bigelow and Kanyon, and tells them that if they want a piece of the Triad, they've got it. Hogan then predicts that Goldberg and Hulkamania are not only going to rip the heads off the Triad, they will rip the roof off the building. Goldberg simply says to "tune it in and watch the massacre."

Before the next match, Disco Inferno introduces himself, calls himself a superstar, a sex symbol, a certified booty-shaking badass and an icon. He says he is "livin' la vida loca" and "all the girlies say he is pretty fly for a white guy." He then says that there is a guy trying to be just like him, and he is wearing his Television title. He calls Rick Steiner out, and tells him to bring the WCW World Television Championship with him. Rick Steiner shows up, and Disco tells him he may be the Television champ, but he is not an icon and that he needs to show that he is a man of respect. When he tells him to place the Television title on his waist where it belongs, Rick Stiener clubs Disco in the back of the head with a forearm.

Rick Steiner quickly retains the WCW World Television Championship against Disco Inferno, then tosses referee Mickey Jay out of the ring and continues to punch Disco Inferno in the back of his ribs. Perry Saturn runs into the ring and fights Rick Steiner, and manages to superkick Rick Steiner out of the ring.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Jerry Flynn after he is attacked by the rest of The First Family (Brian Knobbs, The Barbarian, Hugh Morrus). The rest of The Revolution (Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Shane Douglas) rushes in to save Benoit. Benoit says there is no reason why Jimmy Hart is stepping of the toes of The Revolution, and that there is only way to settle this. Benoit then calls out Sid Vicious for interfering in other people's matching and decimating them, and dares him to get in the ring with him and find out what it is like to be on the losing end. He then tells Sid that he will have to powerbomb him more than once if he wants to be United States Champion.

Hulk Hogan and Goldberg beat The Jersey Triad (Diamond Dallas Page, Kanyon, Bam Bam Bigelow). DDP hits Goldberg in the bat with a steel chair and hits him with a Diamond Cutter, but Hogan hits Bam Bam Bigelow with a leg drop and gets the pinfall under DDP's nose.

Backstage, Sting finds "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Gorgeous George in Hulk Hogan's dressing room.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for July 5, 1999

The show starts with a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. trips and falls on his rear end on the ramp before the next match. He is unhurt.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Juventud Guerrera ends after "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Sid Vicious show up and decimate both men. Sid then gets on the microphone and says he knows Kevin Nash can hear him and that he knows the world can see what they just did. He wants everyone to take a closer look and remember, as what they he and Savage did were examples to follow. Sid tells Nash his dad told him one time that suffering builds character, and he and Savage agree that Nash has a lot of suffering to do, as Nash has messed with Savage's mind. He says that one must not be responsible for another's sanity, for when that happens, things go wrong. He says Nash is on a bed of coals and that nobody is there to piss on him, because nobody cares. Suddenly, Kevin Nash shows up on the video screen with Torrie Wilson. Savage wants to know where Gorgeous George is. Since Sid is wearing the World title, he decides that they might as well have a match for it. Savage tells Nash that he is a dead man and that Sid can do whatever he wants. Nash gets tired of Savage's cursing as Savage tells Nash that he is the end for him. Nash tells Savage that Gorgeous George is getting dressed right now. Nash and Torrie laugh, then Nash brings out Torrie, who is wearing a Kevin Nash shirt with the mid-riff cut off. Savage tells Nash to come out to the ring, but Nash proceeds to mock Savage from backstage. Sid tells Nash the deal is done. Nash will meet him in the ring, he will finish him off, they take Gorgeous George back and that will be that.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who is accompanied by his son David Flair. Ric talks about how he spent the Fourth of July in Atlanta, Georgia and has tried to find his mojo ever since. Tonight, as a result of him being President of World Championship Wrestling, he will make something happen. He announces that Scott Steiner has been traveling the world with the women and has no time to defend the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship right now. (In reality, Scott Steiner is out with a back injury.) Because of this, and because he is President, he is hereby placing the United States title around the waist of the man who rightfully deserves it: his son, David Flair. Flair asks Charles Robinson to bring the title as he announces that due to David Flair's recent victory against Kevin Nash, he is #1 contender for the United States title. With Scott Steiner gone, however, he has no champion to fight; therefore he is stripping Scott Steiner of the title and awarding it to David Flair. He says he is handing him the United States title because he can and because it is one leg of the Triple Crown. He says that David will soon become one-half of the WCW World Tag Team Champions and soon the youngest WCW World Heavyweight Champion ever. Charles Robinson heads to the ring with the United States Heavyweight Championship and a bevy of women, one of whom is Asya. Flair says that when he was World champion in Atlanta, he sometimes traveled with two or three women at one time. He hands David the United States title, lets all the women have their way with David, then takes off his jacket and says that he's going downtown with all of them. Suddenly, Buff Bagwell shows up, and red, white and blue balloons drop down from the top of the Georgia Dome. Ric Flair tells Buff Bagwell he can't have him, he can't have David and he can't have the girls. Buff says that as he was backstage, he couldn't help but see that "the triple-D's" were everywhere, with "the triple-D's" standing for "dumb, dumber and dumbest." He also couldn't help but notice the difference of the sound when Flair entered "Buff country." He tells Ric Flair this isn't Charlotte, North Carolina or The Four Horsemen anymore. Flair tells him he's right, and says he's now The President of WCW, and that he works for him. Buff says he likes to party, and to keep this party going, if his son David has any guts - because he has no body - and Ric is the President of WCW, then he, not David, should be the United States champion. All he needs is a shot tonight and everyone will find out he's buff and David's not the stuff. Flair says Buff will find out David is John Elway and everyone with him is the Denver Broncos. Ric tells David to stay by him and not get tired, and tells him he's got the match. Nevertheless, Buff asks the crowd if they want to see him whip David's butt.

We see a short video package for Kevin Nash.

Before the next match, Rick Steiner says that when you run with the bgi dog, the view never changes. When you run with him and Scott Steiner, you can take whatever you want. They are running around like a pack of wild dogs, and if anyone wants some, they can get some. If anyone doesn't like him, they can bite him.

Rick Steiner retains the WCW World Television Championship against El Vamiro by submission.

Lodi and Lenny Lane walk out of the locker room, with Lenny Lane carrying an pink-and-purple pair of shorts - Lenny's favorite colors - matching what Lodi has on right now. Lenny says he doesn't have to try them on, as Lodi knows all his measurements. Lodi responds by saying "I know every inch of you." Lodi says he knows Lenny is still nervous, but say WCW won't mind when they find out, saying they're open-minded. Lenny says that if Lodi wants him to trust him, then trust him he will. The camera then focuses on the double doors they just came out of, which have the word "closet" on them.

We see a narrated video package of Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who has not been on WCW television since the death of his brother Owen Hart, showing just how much Bret means to World Championship Wrestling.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart appears for the first time on WCW programming since the death of his brother Owen Hart. Bret says he has all the time he wants to speak, and he will try not to rush himself. On behalf of his family and everyone back in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, he thanks the fans who has sent their love, support and condolences, as it has meant a lot to himself and to his family, and it was very much appreciated. World Championship Wrestling has been kind to him in the last few weeks, and allowed him all the time in the world to collect himself. He says a few words about his brother Owen, saying he was not your average wrestler and that he was a wonderful human being. He knows many people watched him on TV, but never got close to him sometimes. Some fans did, and some of the wrestlers go to know him, too. He says there is not a bad thing that could be said about Owen anywhere. He said that Owen was his closest brother, as they had never had an argument or shouted at each other once, and they were the best of friends. They were close from the time that Owen was a baby, and he takes a lot of pride in knowing how well he had turned out. Bret says Eric Bischoff talked to him, and asked him to come back tonight to explain how he felt about things, and felt he would be ready to talk about things when he got here. The reality, however, is that he is having a hard time deciding what to do with his life and his career. He has lived for wrestling, and his family has lived and died for wrestling. He is at a crossroads where he looks at wrestling and wonders what there is left for him to do, and that maybe it is time to move on and accomplish something in another field. He thinks of Wayne Gretzky and John Elway and all the other athletes retiring in 1999, and when he thinks of those people, they all got to hang it up and be happy with what they accomplished, but when he looks at himself, it sucks. He tells himself that on one hand, it is not fair to end his career on a tragedy or a bad note, but at the same time, nobody wants to prove more in wrestling than he does. He admits he does not know what to do next, and even though he always give his best and is happy despite how everything has turned out, but he will take some time and think about everything and put things in perspective. If he never gets the chance to say it again, he wants to thank all the fans everywhere that he ever had and still have, as he would not be anything without them, having had fans since the very start. In case he never gets another chance to talk to the fans, he thanks the fans all around the world that he has ever met, as well as wrestlers all over the world that he has ever worked with, and hopes that he wasn't too stiff. He then thanks the crowd for their time and leaves.

Backstage, Eddie Guerrero asks WCW Head of Security Doug Dellinger for help, saying that someone has stolen his wallet, and he knows that one of the masked wrestlers did it. He demands Dellinger round them up andline them up so he can identify who it is.

Rapper Black Rob is seen in the crowd.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW Vice President "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper shows up after over a minute. He says that six reality check points go to Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum for saving the youth of America, because rap is crap. He also calls out Sting, and brings him out to the ring. Instead of the real Sting, a man in a Sting mask shows up. So big is the jacket that the fake Sting is wearing that his hands are still in the sleeves and that he is shorter than Piper. Piper smells a rat, and wants to know if he is part of "Team Madness." "Sting" shakes his head no. When he asks if this Sting has never been in the back Hummer, "Sting" shakes his head no. When asked if there is no coalition between him and Savage to take the World title, "Sting" shakes his head no. Piper says that if he was the real Sting, he would take his mask off and show everyone who he is. He says the real Sting is a world class fighter who is afraid of nothing. "Sting" refuses to take his mask off. Piper then punches this guy in the face, then rips the mask and wig off, revealing that this is indeed a bogus Sting. The bogus Sting hides his head on the way out, and Piper says the fans want the real Sting and he doesn't blame them. He then addresses Buff Bagwell, saying he has seen him talk the talk but not walk the walk. As Vice President and Commissioner of WCW, he makes a match between himself and Buff at Bash at the Beach where they tape their hands up and box each other in ten three-minute rounds. Suddenly, WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon shows up with Judge Mills Lane, saying that the match is indeed official but that the match needs an impartial referee. That referee is host of Judge Mills Lane and retired boxing referee of over 100 championship boxing bouts, Mills Lane. Miller says he will be there, having heard a lot of crap from Piper, and if Piper wants to get it on, so be it. He has had a lot of crazy fights and crazy cases, and he will oversee this one, too. Piper tells Mills Lane that if he had problems with Mike Tyson, then he hasn't seen him, and he will make Mike Tyson bark by comparison.

Fit Finley and Lord Steven Regal vs. Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. ends when The West Texas Rednecks (Curt Hennig, Barry Windham, Kendall Windham, Bobby Duncum Jr.) - formerly The West Texas Outlaws - attack Konnan and Rey before The No Limit Soldiers rush in to attack the Outlwas.

David Flair retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Buff Bagwell. During the match, Buff Bagwell hits David Flair with the Buff Blockbuster. Referee Charles Robinson makes the count, but pretends to hurt his shoulder before he can count to three. Bagwell confronts Ronbinson for this, then mocks WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and goes for the Figure Four Leg Lock. Ric Flair goes after him, but Buff gets him in an inside cradle. This allows "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson to put the boots to Bagwell, and allows Ric Flair to join in. Dean Malenko gets in the ring and fights both Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, and Asya gets in the ring only to be slammed by Bagwell. WCW Vice President "Rowdy" Roddy Piper gets in the rign and punches Buff in the face with an illegal object in his hand amidst the confusion, and David Flair crawls to Bagwell to make the pinfall and retain.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

WCW Head of Security Doug Dellinger lines up the masked luchadors of World Championship Wrestling so that Eddie Guerrero can figure out who stole his wallet, so he can identify who stole his wallet. As each luchador unmasks with the back of their heads towards the camera, Eddie is surprised by how some of them look. We also find out that The Cheetah Kid is Prince Iaukea, and that none of the men lined up stole his wallet.

The signal for the show is taken over by Hak and Chastity. Hak says he was born hardcore and extreme, and had to fight since his first breath and that fighting is all he knows how to do. He says that he gave WCW a call so that he could get paid for fighting and not go to jail every Saturday night, and says the number of people he has fought and hurt is steadily climbing. If "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair wants to treat him like a dog and take his living away from him by not sanctioning his matches, he will take his matches outside and do it in a junkyard at Bash at the Beach. He calls out every single tough man on the planet to come to the junkyard and face him.

The West Texas Rednecks (Curt Hennig, Barry Windham, Kendall Windham, Bobby Duncum Jr.) lip-sync "Rap Is Crap" live. (Barry Windham isn't even playing the drums.)

Sid Vicious vs. Kevin Nash for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship ends in a no-contest. During the match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage also gets involved in the match. As Nash fights both Savage and Sid off, Nash inadvertently hits the referee with an avalanche splash in the corner. Suddenly, Sting shows up and attacks Kevin Nash from behind. It is then reveled that this is a fake Sting. Savage hits Nash from behind with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, then the real Sting shows up, takes out Savage, then takes out the fake Sting. Sting helps Nash up, but Nash, not knowing this is the real Sting, knees him in the gut and hits him with a Jackknife Power Bomb. After the match, Nash tells Savage that if he wants Gorgeous George back, he will find what is left of her in his dressing room. Savage runs to the back, and the real Sting walks back to the back. We then see Savage running to the back, where he topples a table and eventually finds Gorgeous George standing next to Torrie Wilson. Savage checks on George in a fit of rage, then chews out Torrie Wilson for laughing. (This scene of Torrie Wilson corpsing is the basis for Botchamania's "Send For The Man" meme years later.) Savage then rips out the entire front of George's Kevin Nash shirt, then threatens to beat up Torrie Wilson before kicking the crap out of Gorgeous George to end the show.

Kidman and Psychosis end up being at the mercy of Sid and Savage, and Psychosis eats a powerbomb before Sting runs into the ring, causing Sid and Savage along with the rest of their entourage. Sting helps Kidman up before Kevin Nash walks towards the ring. Nash asks Sting why he didn't lay a hand on Sid and Savage, and says he watched him get out of a black Hummer and grab Rick Steiner last week. Sting tells Nash he was not driving the Hummer that night. Nash tells Sting he is not accusing him of anything, but if he finds out it is him, he will be dealing with him. Nash then leaves the ring.

A fan with a fake afro is brought into the ring to sing "Happy Birthday." Suddenly, Curt Hennig shows up with a gift, and says that he comes in peace as The No Limit Soldiers block his entrance to the ring. Master P tells he had better not be playing any games. Hennig is allowed entrance into the ring, and tells him that he is terribly sorry about what happened and that he understands the message that he is sending to everyone. He has brought a present for the party to make amends, and allows Master P to open it. Master P tells Hennig to open it, which he does. Inside is a custom-made cowboy hat, which Silkk says he has always wanted before stomping on it. Master P then takes the birthday and throws it at Hennig, and when Hennig tries to get back in, he is pelted with another cake.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and WCW Vice President "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who are accompanied by Asya and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Piper says nobody has ever called him a saint, but if he was on the New Orleans Saints, they might have had a chance at the Super Bowl. He says that he is here to stir some gumbo, and that the reality check is getting bigger all the time. He says he is here to deal with "the Y2K kid problem," and says that Buff Bagwell whines about why he is not the main event, and says he is as irritating as Austin Powers' front teeth. He says that he is a vampire and Buff has no wooden stake. He also says that Buff is a liar when he says that he beat Flair, and says he is getting awfully tired of his whining and lying, and if he comes around, he will slap the snot out of him. Until then, he and Flair will be partying in New Orleans, Louisiana. Flair says that either he has a lot of grandchildren in the audience, or they still want to ride Space Mountain tonight. Flair tells Buff that he represents what he detests, as he is a punk walking into the back door with his hand open looking for a free lick. Last week, Piper asked him if he could be President of WCW, and he told him that he has been told that at his age, he could drop dead at any time. Last night, Buff's girlfriend called him room and asked him why they call him "Space Mountain," and told that after he is done with the chicken and the Diet Cokes, he can show her why. He then goes on to boast that he almost died on Buff Bagwell's girlfriend that night, which leads to Buff Bagwell getting into the ring and forearming Flair before being ambushed by Piper. Flair punches Buff Bagwell in the gut, then chops him. Flair tells Bagwell that tonight, he has both him and Piper all by himself if he thinks he can beat him. He then declares that this is a match, and referee Mickey Jay rings the bell.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper beat Buff Bagwell.

He says that they are in his scope, and he and Sid will not stop until both of them are victims. Sid Vicious tells Sting and Luger they will feel the madness and believe him before it is over with, and they will become symbols of victory for both him and Savage.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for June 7, 1999

A white limousine is seen pulling up to the arena. "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up with Miss Madness, Gorgeous George and Madusa. Inside the trunk is a bucket of raw sewage, which the driver opens for Savage. Savage takes the bucket with him, and says that if Kevin Nash wants to play "kid games," so will he. Savage and company then start looking for Nash backstage, saying it's no longer about the belt and that it has gotten personal.

Hak shows up with a cigarette in his mouth, much to the irritation of the commentary team, of which Eric Bischoff is part of again this week for part of the show. When WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon tells Hak to put the cigarette so the match can started, but Hak blows cigarette smoke in his face and says "Make me." Eric Bischoff gets in the ring and tries to reasonably tell him to put out the cigarette. At this point, Hak blows smoke in his face, and WCW security gets in the ring. Bischoff smacks Hak in the face, and security holds Hak back. Bischoff then takes the cigarette out of Hak's mouth, and tells them to let him wrestle instead of ringing the bell.

Hak beats Prince Iaukea after Chastity sprays Iaukea in the eyes with a fire extinguisher before Hak put Iaukea into, but not through, a table. After the match, Brian Knobbs, Jimmy Hart and Hugh Morrus run into the ring and go after Hak, but Kidman shows up and takes out Morrus from the top rope before fighting him, Knobbs and Hart. Knobbs and Morrus then brawl with Hak and Kidman, and Morrus and Knobbs come out on top.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Before the next match, Eric Bischoff spoils that Vince McMahon is "the higher power" on WWF programming, and also says that he is not as powerful as he says he is as he is dealing with a $110 million lawsuit (a reference to the Hart family suing the World Wrestling Federation over Owen Hart's death).

Scotty Riggs beats Lenny Lane. During the match, Lodi shows up. It is noted that his fingernails are painted purple and has purple bead bracelets around his wrists. He is also seen talking to Lenny Lane when he is tossed out of the ring by Scotty Riggs.

WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is in his office with "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, trying to renew Benoit's confidence in him and make Benoit see him as the man, the wrestler and the legend, not WCW President. He wants to sell him on being a Horseman, and asks for another opportunity for him to trust him. Benoit tells Flair he has always had the utmost respect for him due to all the opportunities he gave him, but after last week, it is no longer unconditional; it is conditional and questionable at best. Flair tells Benoit he doesn't get it, and says all he and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson did was prove they are the two greatest professional wrestlers alive, and says there should be no reason why he and Benoit should be butting heads when they could be kicking somebody's head. He says that Benoit is great and he wants to pass the torch to him, saying he is "the man in waiting." Flair tells Benoit he will make it good for him tonight. He talks about how four or five years ago were the hardest time of his life due to the falling out between himself and Anderson, and that they had to walk the aisle from separate dressing rooms until they got back together. He asks Benoit to trust in him again and let him be the Ric Flair he was when The Four Horseman reunited. Benoit tells Flair he will consider it. Saturn suddenly shows up, and asks for a rematch for the tag team titles against Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow now that Kanyon is medically cleared. Flair passive-aggressively threatens to go for the tag team titles with Benoit, but Saturn is having none of it, and says he doesn't care if he and Benoit are tag team champions. He will get the tag team titles back somehow. Flair and Benoit agree on going for the tag team titles, especially considering DDP and Bigelow laid him out last week, and Flair is happy to have re-united with Benoit.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up with the bucket of raw sewage, as does Madusa, Gorgeous George and Miss Madness. Savage says Kevin Nash is nowhere in the building, and he has looked everywhere. He says a man in his position cannot afford to look ridiculous, and tells Kevin Nash he messed up big time. He says it is no surprise that Nash is not here tonight, and that he will have to wait until The Great American Bash to take his title. He says it is now personal after what he did last week, and now Nash is playing "kid games" with "the lord and master of game players." He says Nash is not off the hook, even though he is, for he is the man. He says that he is on a higher level than Nash, and that there is nothing Nash can do about it. He then talks about the raw sewage in the bucket, which he says he got last week. He says if Nash had the guts - which he says that he does not - he would be right here on Nitro. Now, he owes everyone in the building and in WCW responsible, and says it has hit the fan and it is on. He says that since Nash does not have the guts and is not here tonight, he wants an opponent. He doesn't care if it is even five guys or ten guys or thirty guys, as the raw sewage will be dumped on the man with the guts to come out to the ring and face him. Suddenly, Sting shows up, and tells Savage that since it is Monday Nitro and he is back in black - and since Savage is pretty in pink - he and Savage will face each other tonight. Savage says he cannot believe Sting is that stupid, but for entertainment value, since he has all the money and women he needs in his or anybody's lifetime - he will pretend that Sting is a tune-up for The Great American Bash, he will grant Sting his wish, as he belives Sting needs a shampoo job and he knows where to put the conditioner on. Sting tells Savage it's showtime, and says "Macho Madness" is on Viagra. Savage tells Sting that he is really going to get it as Sting heads to the back. He then tells Kevin Nash to watch what he does to a man called Sting.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Kevin Nash shows up with a bag and a chair. He tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage he knows he is not on his way out yet because he cannot smell him. He says he showed up a little late, and that his wrestling gear is in the bag. He knows that Savage has said he does not like to be made to look ridiculous, and begs Savage to look in the mirror before he makes his way to the ring. Nash tells Savage that if he wants a piece of him, he is out here waiting. Savage shows up with his bucket of raw sewage, saying Nash is a stupid man and that he is not in his league. Miss Madness, Madusa and Gorgeous George show up as Nash says that Savage has stinked as his career has progressed through the last couple of years. Savage says that nobody has made him look ridiculous like Nash has, and says this is Nash's day to tell everyone that he is a monkey who made a ridiculous mistake and that he is not on this level. Nash asks Savage why he has brought one bag to the ring while Savage has brought three as he runs away. Savage asks Nash where he is going, and wants Nash in the ring. Nash tells Savage that if he wants a piece of him, he'll have to put down the bucket, have Madusa, George and Miss Madness open the ring ropes. He then tells Savage to beg him for a fight tonight, and Savage gets down on one knee to beg the big Macho Man in the sky that Nash has what it takes to come into the ring, as this will never happen again. As this goes on, Kevin Nash's bag moves from the inside. A girl pops out, takes the bucket of raw sewage and dumps it all over Savage before fleeing through the crowd. Commentary breaks into laughter as Nash says "Smellin' good, Mach, smellin' good!" and "You look sweet wearin' corn, big boy!" Savage chases Nash to the back, and the moment is replayed as the ring crew has to clean the ring up.

The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit) beat Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow to win the WCW World Tag Team Championships. However, Flair is not one of the titles' co-holders, as he leaves Benoit high and dry, much to the shock of "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Anderson ends up taking his shirt off and getting on the apron, replacing Flair as Benoit's tag team partner. Suddenly, Saturn shows up and tells Anderson he has this. Benoit tags Saturn in, and Saturn fires on all cylinders as he fights off DDP and Bigelow before hitting DDP with the Death Valley Driver. Benoit and Saturn win the match and become the WCW World Tag Team Champions. Kanyon shows up to celebrate with Saturn, but hits Saturn with the Flatliner and takes the boots to him while DDP and Bigelow stomp Benoit in the corner. After a double-team Diamond utter to Benoit, DDP Diamond Cutters the referee before doing the same to Benoit along with Bigelow. Kanyon then hands DDP and Bigelow the tag team titles and heads to the back along with them.

La Parka and Silver King beat Damian and Ciclope in a Falls Count Anywhere Mexican Hardcore Match.

The black-and-white nWo meet in the locker room. Scott Norton confronts the rest of the group for skipping town after Ernest "The Cat" Miller hit him with a tire iron and leaving without him. The rest of the crew cannot even get their story straight, and Norton reluctantly has to squash the beef with them.

Ernest "The Cat" Miller and Sonny Onoo show up. Miller brags about how he knocks Scott Norton out with one kick (even though it was with a tire iron), and chastises the crowd for not believing in him when he "shook the world" and "became the greatest." He tells everyone to bow down to him and tell him he is the greatest. He says he is going to the top and beat everybody with one kick, and then he is going to dance because it is payback time. He says that if somebody doesn't believe he is a bad man, he dares somebody to get in the ring with him. Horace Hogan suddenly runs into the ring, and the fight is on.

Ernest "The Cat" Miller beats Horace Hogan after Sonny Onoo distracts the referee so that The Cat can hit Horace with a crowbar. Once again, the black-and-white nWo are seen watching the match in the locker room at the end of the match, and this time, with Scott Norton in tow, the black-and-white nWo head to the ring and chase The Cat and Onoo to the back while checking on Horace.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. He says he will make WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair bleed to death at The Great American Bash and turn Space Mountain into a fountain, as his nose is so big that they won't be able to find a tourniquet to fit it. After he takes control of WCW, he has problems that he will mix and match and stir up. He knows there are some young guys sitting in coach on the plane wondering why Piper is the main event and not them, and says it's reality check time and time to get real. He mocks ring announcer Michael Buffer's trademark "Let's get ready to rumble" quote and asks Buff Bagwell to come to the ring. Piper asks Buff how many times he's wrestled in Madison Square Zero (which is zero), and Buff tells him it's not 1975 anymore and that he's buff and he's the stuff. Piper asks what "the stuff" is. Buff says "You're lookin' at it, big man." Piper then asks about his broken neck and how he got back into the ring, then how he faked another career-threatening injury, and asks if he will do whatever it takes to make it to the top. Buff says yes. Piper says that after he beats Flair at The Great American Bash, he will give him the ball. He says he has never fumbled, but he will give him the ball, and if Buff fumbles, he will be right down his neck. Buff tells Piper that if he gives him the ball, he will run with it. The two of them shake hands.

Madusa, Gorgeous George and Miss Madness are in the limousine when Kevin Nash approaches. They gets his attention, and after telling them that "Macho Man" Randy Savage is not with them and that it's ladies' night out, ask him to open a bottle of champagne for them. Kevin Nash tells them to get out so he can check the limo. He eventually puts his bags in the trunk and gets in the back, and the ladies insist he go in first. They close the door on him, then the divider comes down and it is revealed that Savage is the driver. Savage parks the limo, and a white Hummer runs into the back of it multiple times. Kevin punches the window out and tries to open the door, but he is hurt badly.

Curt Hennig guests on commentary for the next match. Meanwhile, Konnan joins DJ Ran at the turntable, but still guests on commentary regardless.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Bobby Duncum Jr. by disqualification after Curt Hennig gets involved in the match. Konnan runs to the ring to chases Hennig and Duncum out.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) show up. Scott says all his hooches have a space to fill, and they tell him he's the big thrill. He says that they will know that he is Superman between the sheets. Scott then says that when Rick Steiner was beating the crap out of Sting, he was in the back to see if he had any friends who would help him as well as if there were any real men willing to face him and Rick. He then tells Sting that it is obvious that he is on his own, and at The Great American Bash, Rick will be there, and where he is at, he will be at. He says that if Sting does not have any friends there, they will show him why they are the most feared tag team in the world and the greatest tag team that ever lived. Rick says there will be some changes around here, as it is now rule of the fittest and he and Scott are the top of the food chain while everyone else is fresh meat. If anyone gets a chance to face one of them, they had better not hesitate for a second, as they will be on them like a pack of wild dogs. Rick then says that if he catches Sting anywhere in the dog pound, he will take him out. If anyone in the back does not like him, they can bite him. If anyone wants some, they can come get some, as he is the D.F.G. and he does not back down from anybody.

Before the next match, Disco Inferno says he has heard what Buff Bagwell said earlier and says he already dropped the ball, as he had a chance to look "Rowdy" Roddy Piper in the eye and tell him he stinks, and he did not do it. He says Buff has no guts or stuff, and says this is why he got kicked out of the Wolfpac. He tells Buff that if he wants to be the man, he tells him to come to the ring and wrestle him, and show him why he is the man. It is then announced that Eric Bischoff is on WCW.com with information on Kevin Nash as well as who was driving the Hummer that collided into the limousine in the successful attempt to badly hurt Nash. Buff Bagwell gets in the ring and says he was almost at his car when he heard him run his mouth. He admits he was kicked out of the Wolfpac, but everyone knows that Disco was not even in the Wolfpac. Disco attacks Buff as soon as he turns his back, and this starts their match.

Buff Bagwell beats Disco Inferno.

Before the next match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage says that Sting is finished now that Kevin Nash has been taken out.

Sting beats "Macho Man" Randy Savage by disqualification. During the match, Madusa, Miss Madness and Gorgeous George distract referee Johnny Boone so that Savage can throw powder into Sting's face. Miss Madness goes for a top rope Frankensteiner, but Sting pushes her off and Savage hits Boone with a punch followed by a piledriver. Referee Mickey Jay shows up and rings the bell, and Sting fights back against Savage, even as Savage uses Miss Madness and Madusa as human shields. He eventually gets Savage, and The Steiner Brothers get in the ring and attack Sting, with Scott hitting Sting with the United States title. Lex Luger runs into the ring with a black baseball bat to make the save for Sting, and the Steiners are chased out of the ring to end the show.
