Madusa shows up with Spice to start tonight's show. Madusa celebrates the fact that she is the first ever woman to become WCW Cruiserweight Champion, then Buzzkill is seen carrying a sign saying "Equality Now." She not only proved that a woman can beat a man at any given time, she also proved that women are dominating WCW with a little bit of "T&A." However, she is not about that, and the powers that be will soon be "the powers that was," as it used to be "I am woman, hear me roar," and now it is "I am woman, watch me kick your ass." He then issues an open invitation to anyone who wants to come into the ring so she can "neuter [their] ass." She then sees a little bit of a buzzkill tonight, and notices Buzzkill and his equal rights sign. Buzzkill jumps the guardrail when she asks him to give her the equal right to kick his ass. When she asks to see his sign, she takes it and hits him with it.
Madusa beats Buzzkill to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Championship after Spice gets on the apron and distracts referee Mickey Jay, and when Mickey turns towards Buzzkill when he tries to get his attention, Spice tosses a tape knuckle to Madusa, who proceeds to knock Buzzkill out with it for the win.
Vince Russo talks to Curt Hennig, Shane, La Parka and Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald). He says they are sitting on a powder keg, and he wants everyone to be ready tonight. Hennig says he has noticed Hugh Morrus in the back, and Vince puts Hennig in a match with him to make sure it is Morrus' last match. As for Creative Control, he wants them to bring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to his office.

Curt Hennig beats Hugh Morrus. Shortly after the match begins, a man dressed like a mental patient is seen staggering onto the entryway, and Morrus notices the man as if he recognizes him, and calls him "pop" as he asks him to give him two more minutes. He then runs back to the ring, but the man who is apparently his father is still at ringside. Morrus notices this and asks him to go sit down. Nevertheless, he returns to ringside again. Once again, he tells him to stay back, then gets back in the ring again only to run into a Hennigplex and lose. After the match, "Pop" checks on Hugh Morrus and mimics him.
Vince Russo notices that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper that he brought Colt to the office, thinking he is looking for sympathy. He says he will not get any, because he is an asshole. Piper tells him to watch his mouth, while Vince tells him to watch his temper. He tells Piper that he made a deal with him, and if he lays a hand on him, that deal his done. He then tells Piper that he is close to sealing the deal, and all he has to do is go out to the fans and tell them that he sold out, that it it was his idea from the get-go, and that he had nothing to do with it as he will never fess up to anything. If he does not, the deal is off. Piper tells he he always kept his morality and that it was him and Hulk Hogan who got professional wrestling going in the 1980s, and tells him that the fans saved his life and he has never had to sell out until Russo wanted him to. He will put Colt someplace safe, then go out to the crowd and show him what being a real man is like. He hopes that God has mercy on Russo's soul, because he will show no mercy.
The Montreal Screwjob from Survivor Series is brought up, as well as the fact that Vince Russo, also having worked at the WWF at the time, wrote the finish for it. It is then mentioned that the finish to Bret "The Hit Man" Hart vs. Goldberg from last night is similar to the Montreal Screwjob.
Kevin Nash shows up. He says that when you break into the wrestling business, it is like no other business in the world. Twelve months a year, you are up and down the road in cars with other guys, and the veterans sit you in the back and show you the code of conduct that the boys in the back live by. One of them is that the boys never screw one of the boys. He then says what we see in the ring is one thing; what happens behind the curtains is another. There are two entities: the boys and the office. Every night, the boys come out and give their bodies, and the boys are like a fraternity who govern themselves. Meanwhile, the office is all business and all about the dollar, and they take and take and take and take as "they don't give a shit about us." They have no medical, dental, retirement, disability or even social security. If the office can find a way to screw one of the boys for a dollar, one of the boys is going to get screwed. He doesn't give a damn about Goldberg, but what happened to him at Starrcade was "bullshit." In the fraternity, if the boys don't watch out for themselves, they are in a lot of trouble, as it about survival and the office will take and take until they throw them to the curb. That leaves him with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, whom he says broke the code and screwed one of the boys for his personal gain through the office. He says Bret tells everyone he is the best there was, the best there is, the best there ever will be, but to him, he is just "a piece of shit." He leaves.
We see footage from during the break where an angry Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is seen entering the building.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald). They say Nash does not speak for everybody, and call him the biggest politician in the locker room. They think that either "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was in on it, or that somebody needs to shut Nash's mouth up permanently.
Tank Abbott vs. Jerry Flynn ends in a no-contest. During the match, the referee is shoved down twice by both men as they brawl. Security has to get involved when both men cannot even stopped, and Jerry Flynn gets handcuffed. Tank Abbott gets a cheap shot in on Jerry Flynn, then heads to the back.
A Chevrolet Corvette is seen parking outside, and Goldberg comes out of it.
The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Asya) shows up. As Douglas demands "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan come to the ring, Perry Saturn grabs the microphone and says Douglas asked the age-old question: How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop, with the answer being three. This confuses the rest of The Revolution, and Saturn hands the microphone back to Douglas, who asks "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan to come on out and rip the American flag down like a used piece of toilet paper. Duggan shows up in a somber mood, Douglas demands that Duggan denounces the United States of America and burn the American flag. Duggan refuses to do it., tells Douglas he lied when asked if he is going back on his word, then pushes Douglas down. The Revolution then attacks Duggan, then Douglas says "to hell with Standards and Practices" and has Dean Malenko set the American flag on fire. Suddenly, The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman) show up for the first time in weeks and saves Duggan, who is seen holding up the American flag as he is down.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper is seen approaching the ring with Colt.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper gets in the ring alone. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and Goldberg are both watching what is happening on monitors in separate rooms. He immediately says that he sold out, saying he did a lot of things back in his day, and that he is the real deal and not a fan of this "dog and pony" stuff. He says that people want to see people fight, calls Goldberg one of the best pieces of talent he has seen in a long time and apologizes to him, then says Goldberg is right. He tells the people to tell the powers that be that they don't want phonies, they want fights and they want fighters with real athletes. He then says that he is a real fighter, and if the powers that be want him to do this "dog and pony baloney," then he quits. He then asks the fans to grab their kids and tell them they love them, then is about to go into a rant before he stops himself and says that he quits. He leaves, and Colt shows up with him halfway up the aisle. Goldberg joins them, and Colt tells his father he loves him. Goldberg tells Piper that he stayed up all night last night trying to make sense of everything, but could not come to a conclusion. He says there have been a couple of guys in the business that he grew to respect, and that Roddy was one of them until last night, when he was faced with a decision and made the wrong choice. He does not know where to go with it, and all he can tell him is that he made the wrong decision, and he will never do that. Piper tells Goldberg he is a great piece of talent and knows what he can do, then apologizes to him and tells him not to be a phony. Goldberg tells him he will carry that torch until he dies, but Bret shows up and says there is nobody to blame here and that the real heat is with the office, and nobody knows better than he does what it is like to get screwed over by the office. He does not want to carry the World title around after what happened, and as far as he is concerned, the World title is vacant, and he is about to go back to the office and tell the powers that be to shove the World title up their ass. Goldberg tells Colt "It's alright, kid. Everybody makes mistakes; I understand." Goldberg, Piper and Colt then go to the back.
Bret "The Hit Man" Hart confronts Vince Russo, who says he did it all for him to make up for the Montreal Screwjob. Bret throws the World title and tells Russo to stick the belt up his ass, then leaves. Russo puts Bret in a match with Goldberg, and tells him to let Goldberg beat his ass like he would have last night before calling him a piece of garbage.

Jarrett miraculously recovers from that hurt knee - revealing he was never hurt at all - and smashes a guitar into Benoit's head. Jarrett gets another ladder out from underneath the ring, and it is revealed that the first ladder was "gimmicked" by Jarrett and that Benoit did not know about the second ladder. Jarrett quickly climbs up the ladder to grab the United States title and become the new United States champion.

As far as rumors about him and Kimberly go, he pushes the microphone down and tells him "that's bullshit and you know it."

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up. Bret says it is not easy being the guy who talks about being the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be, and that you have to look into your heart and believe it. He thanks the fans for backing him up. Ever since he came to WCW, he always knew that sooner or later, he would have to step into the ring with Goldberg. He has infinite respect for him and has watched him over and over, and in order to be World champion, he would have to give Goldberg the very first shot at Starrcade. At Starrcade, he will be the first one looking forward to Goldberg, as he has something to prove. He then tells Goldberg he is a great wrestler, but when the smoke settles at Starrcade, he will not beat him. He then makes one guarantee: at Starrcade, he will be standing with his hand raised in the middle of the ring. Suddenly, Goldberg shows up and tells Bret that unfortunately for him, matches are not won by confidence level, but by beating one's opponents. As of late, the World title looks good around Bret's waist, but at Starrcade, he must beat him man to man, and that is not going to happen. Not only will he never beat him, he is next. Suddenly, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) show up. Hall says they have been talking, and Bret and Golberg have something that belongs to them, as everyone knows that they are "it" because when you mess with The Outsiders, you mess with the "shhhhhh bomb." Nash tells Bret and Goldberg they have something that belongs to them: the tag team titles. If they can find it in their hearts to kiss and make up tonight, then they can put the tag team titles on the light tonight so they can walk out tonight the champs. Also, if they don't want to do it, they can do it the hard way. Bret says that if they want it, they've got it.

We see a short video package for The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Asya) and their feud with "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. Duggan is not worried about what is going to happen at Starrcade. He has come to the ring for many years, but lately, there has been a few things happening that he has a tough time swallowing. It is not the cleaning of toilets, as he has done it before and he will do it again, but a lack of respect for America. When he came back to WCW after his cancer treatment, he got on his knees in the middle of the ring and thanked the Lord for sparing his life and allowing him to grow older with his family. However, if he has to get off his deathbed, he will defend the flag of the United States of America as long as there is air in his lungs and blood in his heart, and he will not quit, waver or stop as he attacks, regardless of how many men are out there. When he thinks of the members of the armed forces who made the sacrifice for their country, he stands a little taller, and he tells The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Asya) that he and the people of the United States will take it no longer, as this is the land of the free and the home of the free. Suddenly, the lights go dark and static appears on the video screen. Suddenly, someone gets in the ring and lays Duggan out, then the lights come back on.
Vince Russo laughs about what happened to "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, then "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is brought into the office. Up next, he will referee a match between Curt Hennig and Buff Bagwell where he has the final say, meaning his decision is final. Russo tells him to consider this a test, and tells him it would be good for his career to do the right thing. If he can do that, there will be no problems.
Backstage, The Total Package looks for David Flair.
Before the next match, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper tells Curt Hennig and Buff Bagwell that he will do the right thing, that there will be no disqualifications, that he wants a winner and a loser, and that he will get on the case of either man if they screw up in this match.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper tries to get into Vince Russo's office, but he is stopped by local law enforcement. Meanwhile, Tank Abbott and Meng are still fighting backstage.
Before the next match, Shane Douglas says that he can talk his points and that America is wrong and cannot face facts. He tells "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan go on and talk about his kids, and at Starrcade, he is divided and he and America will lose as they Americans are divided. On Sunday, The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Asya) will be victorious. Dean Malenko says the truth is a hard pill to swallow, and tells them to swallow the fact that America sucks. We then find out that The Revolution has Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) tonight when Perry Saturn acts as comedy relief. Shortly after the match begins, however, the lights go out, and when they come back on, Midnight is in the ring. She attacks Malenko and Saturn as Douglas guests on commentary.

At Starrcade, he will be the first one looking forward to Goldberg, as he has something to prove.

When he came back to WCW after his cancer treatment, he got on his knees in the middle of the ring and thanked the Lord for sparing his life and allowing him to grow older with his family. However, if he has to get off his deathbed, he will defend the flag of the United States of America as long as there is air in his lungs and blood in his heart, and he will not quit, waver or stop as he attacks, regardless of how many men are out there. When he thinks of the members of the armed forces who made the sacrifice for their country, he stands a little taller, and he tells The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Asya) that he and the people of the United States will take it no longer, as this is the land of the free and the home of the free.

We then see a woman in a tanktop, blue jeans, black hair and black lipstick named Daffney Unger, and it becomes evident by the professional-looking nature of the video that this is a vignette, and not actually real Nitro party footage. She says that she loves all the superstars of WCW and has always wanted to host a Nitro Party and thinks David Flair is totally cool (as pictures of David Flair can be seen in the background). She is also seen rocking back and forth, much like David Flair from earlier.
Before the next match, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper tells Creative Control (Patrick and Gerald) to get in the ring, as he is the referee according to the powers that be, and until the bell rings, they have to do what he says.

Vince says that will all change next week, as all the A-players will be on the show next week, and that he is so happy about the announcement, he will be changing the announce team after Zbyszko has taken so many shots at him. Zbyszko says the announce team is the only part that makes any sense, and that he is still on the announce table because after 25 glorious years of getting beat to a pulp and being cheered for at the announce table, it is all worth it. He says he doesn't need the job and that he will not be one of his "jump through the hoop jerks" like Curt Hennig, whom he says is so beaten up now that he could not beat Midnight two weeks ago. Vince Russo then puts Zbyszko and Hennig in a match, and if Zbyzsko loses, he is fired. Zbysko calls this "a lopsided coin" and says that if he wins, then Vince Russo should be the one to leave.

Recently, he has heard that he wanted out of his contract with WCW because he wanted to go to the WWF. He then says that you leave with who brought you to the dance. He says it's about loyalty and doing the right thing, but people around him haven't done the right thing and have not been loyal. He is now out for #1 again, and that is all right with him.
