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.

"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.

In memory of Hiro Matsuda, 1937 - 1999.
Goldberg shows up. He knows that The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are in the back hearing what he has to say, and asks if he is the kind of guy to mess around with. He says he is not, but week after week, they show up and try to entertain the people with a little bit of comedy. He says that will not happen tonight. Last time they met, he got hit in the back with a steel chair and admits that he liked it. He is in the ring tonight to put a stop to their childish games, for when he steps into the ring, this is his world and he does not play around. He does not make threats, he is just the bearer of a little bit of reality as to what is going to happen. He then tells Scott Hall that if he gets involved in his match with Kevin Nash, he will show him what a little bit of heavy metal is all about. As for Kevin Nash, he's next. The Outsiders then show up, and Hall tells Goldberg he sounds upset and serious tonight, and they are here to bring that comedy he was referring to. He admits than wrapping a steel chair around Goldberg's head was one of the funniest things he has ever seen. Nash tells Goldberg The Outsiders have five words for him: don't sing it, bring it.

Bret does not blame the fans for losing their respect for him as "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and says he is not here to beg for forgiveness. Piper gets in the ring and tells Bret that he told everybody about how much of a jerk Bret was two weeks ago, and now that he hears him talking like this, he tells Bret that he is not the first to be conned by Hollywood Hogan, whom he calls "a piece of slime." He goes on to say that if Bret's dad were to hear him right now, he would be proud, as his father was a fighter and so is Bret. Piper tells Bret not to bury himself in his own pity, and to soar like the eagles and prove who he is and what he is made of, and to never let the fans down again. He says that the wrestling business is harsh, and if America can find it in their hearts to forgive President Bill Clinton, they can forgive Bret. After Piper leaves, Bret says he needs to see what happens next, but he asks for the fans to give him another chance.

He goes on to call The Warrior a coward who does not want to face him and who robbed him of his plan to take the World title back from Goldberg. Now Hogan says The Warrior is in his world, and that he will send him back to where no man ever came from. He tehn tells The Warrior that if he wants to get a piece of him and live forever, he can take his chance, because he challenges him to a match.

Dillon apologizes to what he has said to him in the past few weeks, and even though he meant well, he put him in a bad position and hopes that he can earn his forgiveness. Arn then takes the microphone and says that when 15,000 blow the roof off a place, that's what a pop smells like. He says that what Dillon said to is what the fans have been telling him for the last year-and-a-half, and that is to be the man that he has always been. He could hear those words,, as something was in the way. He starts at the beginning, as this is a new beginning for The Four Horsemen. When he has a boy, he always knew he wanted to be a professional wrestler, and when it happened, it was the greatest day of his life. When he started going across American in 1986, he did it as a Horsemen, and his life changed forever. He opened doors he never dreamed he would open, and everyone across the nation showed him who he was. Since then, he has upheld the standards that he and everyone else set for themselves. Last year, he woke up on an operating table, and Arn Anderson the wrestler was dead. He felt that he could not be a Horeseman if he could not be a wrestler, and when he felt that way, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit said it can still happen. He brings out Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Dean Malenko. Anderson tells Benoit that he got this rolling and if there is a finer wrestler than him, he doesn't know who it is. He says Benoit's intensity got his attention and that it will help him uphold the Horseman standard. He tells Mongo that he may be stubborn, but he is all-an and all-pro, and that he will mean to wrestling what he meant to football. As for Malenko, he calls Malenko a paragon of respect as and exemplified what a Horseman has always meant: over-achievement, and tells Malenko that he did get it after all. He then says that through the year 2000, The Horsemen will do what the fans have asked, but he feels it fair to state that he will not be responsible for what happens next as they are not nice guys and that heads will roll. He then says to be careful what you wish for, as you will get it. He then brings out "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who hasn't been seen since early in the year. Flair tears up at the immense positive reaction from the crowd and thanks them. He says he is almost embarrassed by the reaction, but when he looks back at the last 25 years, he says this is all worth it. He then says he heard that the Horsemen are having a party tonight, and that the most elite group that Eric Bischoff declared dead is alive and well. He tells Bischoff this may be his last shot, but he will make it his best. He then says that this moment makes for good television, as it was a real-life situation just like how Anderson passed the torch in Columbia, South Carolina. He goes on to say that Anderson is one of the greatest performers to ever live, and that Bischoff squashed him in one night and told him to disband the Horsemen for they are dead. When he looked in the mirror the next mirror, he saw a man who gave up and quit, and for that, he owes the fans and The Horsemen an apology, and says it won't happen again. Bischoff shows up, and Flair calls him "an obnoxious, overbearing asshole" who abuses his own power and dares him to cut him off.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 17, 1997
The New World Order, minus "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, shows up to start the show. Scott Hall sends a shout-out, who is sitting back at home, and says that all is well within the nWo. Hall then calls out "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, and tells him that he, Kevin Nash and Eric Bischoff watched old tapes of him and that even on fast-forward, he still didn't move. Hall then says Zbyszko doesn't want a piece of him and that he can't beat Bischoff. Kevin Nash says the nWo has an agenda, and tells The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) that they haven't beaten them and that The Outsiders (Hall and Nash) are the true tag team champions. He also tells The Giant that he can keep his spot as the one true giant in WCW as he's too busy being 6'10", sexy and just two sweet. Bischoff says that the nWo had so much fun with surprises last week that they have a new one this week: "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan himself. Hogan then brings out "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who is still in WWF as part of D-Generation X ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, Rude), now no longer sporting his full beard. Rude says "Oh, what a difference a day makes!" and talks about the rights and the wrongs of professional wrestling. He says it is wrong that that Shawn claims to be a world champion when he never beat Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and that Vince McMahon instructed a referee to ring the bell to rob Bret of the WWF Championship. On the other hand, he calls Bret abandoning "the Titanic" and swam to the refuge of the nWo, and nWo's course to destroy WCW and beat up the man called Sting what's right with wrestling, and regrets not being able to take part in last week's beating on Sting. He tells Sting that the second verse will be the same as the first, a whole lot rowdier and a whole lot worse, as he will participate. Hogan then asks the fans what it's like to be him, and says that spring has sprung and Sting has been stung before proclaiming that his blood runs through the nWo's veins and vice versa and all they had to do was watch him put Sting in their place to realize that he will live forever. Hogan says that Sting won't show up, as Sting will never be seen in WCW and nWo will rule for eternity. (Rick Rude shows up during the second hour of WWF Raw sporting a full beard. This is significant as it proves that Nitro was really broadcast live and that Raw was taped; tonight's episode of Raw was taped six days earlier. Rick Rude also appeared over the weekend on ECW Hardcore TV as well.)
We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Ray Traylor. He says he does not want any help or sympathy, saying that he turned his back on WCW to join the nWo but did not like the person he had become. Every time the nWo attack him from behind to hurt it, it shows what cowards they are. As he challenges anyone to face him anywhere, any time, he is suddenly jumped from behind by The New World Order. Even "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan joins in on the attack, smacking Traylor in the back with his belt, and Savage spray paints the letters "NWO" on Traylor's back.
Meng beats Glacier by pinfall with the Tongan Death Grip. After the match, Meng and The Barbarian, the latter having been called out by Jimmy Hart, attack Glacier, but "The Cat" Ernest Miller makes the save and fights off all three men only to fall victim to the Tongan Death Grip as well.
Diamond Dallas Page says he doesn't know Bret "the Hit Man' Hart on a professional level, but he knows Bret Hart as a wrestler. He doesn't get why Bret "The Hit Man" Hart would join The New World Order, especially when he know how bad Bret wants it each and every night in the ring.

Eric Bischoff gets "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko's attention on the commentary table, and tells him he is sick and tired of hearing the commentary team talk about the New World Order. Bischoff walks away after , then walks back and smacks him in the head. Zbyszko confronts Bischoff, but is attacked by Konnan, Buff Bagwell, Scott Norton and Vincent. A fan tries to attack Bischoff from behind, but he gets attacked as well and is detained by WCW security. Bischoff kicks Zbyszko in the gut a few times while the other nWo members hold Zbyszko down. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan shows up on commentary early, replacing Zbyszko on commentary while a trainer tends to Zbyszko.

During the match, Riggs' eyepatch and bandage around his right eye both fall off, and we see how glassy and fogged out that eye is before he hits Raven's Flock with a top rope cross body to the outside and into the front row. Raven's Flock attacks Riggs after the match, then Raven moves his men away and kneels over Riggs.
We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.
