James Storm says he cannot believe that he and Justin Credible have to beat Chris Candido and Rhino to earn a title shot. It is not that they cannot beat them; it is that they should not have to. Since they do, Candido and Rhino will be victimized, and Tammy Lynn Sytch will have a reason to piss and moan. They're not looking past them; they're looking through them. Justin proclaims that at Guilty As Charged on January 9th, they will claim their destiny and become ECW World Tag Team Champions.
Backstage, Chris Chetti tells Nova that he is coming back tonight. Nova tells him to forget about it, as his back is nowhere near 100%, and asks him if he wants to be like The Dynamite Kid, Ricky Steamboat or "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, and tells him that the man he has handpicked for his partner is wrestling in his place tonight. Chetti tells his replacement he has one shot and one shot only, and if he screws Nova over, he will break his neck. He tells him he is with him. Chetti turns around to leave, asks if his replacement is checking out his ass, then says he can't blame him because his looks would turn a straight man gay. Chetti leaves, then Nova tells the guy that Chetti was dropped a little too hard on his head in wrestling school and his family is a little bit crazy.
Da Baldies (Tony DeVito, Angel, Vic Grimes) are in the ring. Tony DeVito says they are here tonight to stake their claim, and now the streets of Virginia belong to Da Baldies. He then says that if anybody in the back wants to fight for their turf, they will have to go through them, or more specifically, through him. The challenge is answered by none other than New Jack.
New Jack beats Tony DeVito. After the match, New Jack grabs a fork. He is about to drive it into DeVito's skull when Vic Grimes and Angel beat up New Jack from behind. Angel then staples New Jack's ear with a staple gun.
Tony DeVito issues another open challenge against Da Baldies for their torch. That challenge is answered by Mike Awesome.
Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Vic Grimes after putting Grimes through a table. "Judge" Jeff Jones puts Mike Awesome on a pedestal, then Spike Dudley shows up, kicks Awesome in the groin, hits him with the Acid Drop and leaves.
We are in the locker room. "Dastardly" Danny Doring says that tonight, he will cash in on the fringe benefits of being a professional wrestler. He then talks about his favorite subject: him. That gets cut short when he walks in on Roadkill, then Francine shows up wondering if he and Roadkill are done so she can take a shower. Elektra comes out and threatens to cut the "Danaconda" down to a garden snake if she ever catches him talking to another woman again.
Super Calo vs. Ikuto Hidaka vs. Tom Marquez ends with Sabu showing up with Bill Alfonso and attacking all three men in the match with a crutch and a steel chair. He eventually hits all three men with a springboard leg drop through a table.
The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) beat Chris Candido and Rhino to face Raven and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer for the ECW World Tag Team Championships at Guilty As Charged after Lance Storm leaps over a Gore by Rhino, who then charges into Chris Candido. After the match, Storm says The Impact Players have proved that they cannot be denied and that they are the next tag team champions. He also says it cannot be denied that Justin Credible is the hardcore icon. The Sandman shows up through the crowd, then "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason steps up to The Sandman as The Impact Players leave. Jason gets caned, but Justin Credible sneaks up on Sandman from behind and smacks him in the back with a Singapore cane of his own. Lance Storm sets up a table, but Sandman ducks a cane shot and Justin hits Storm instead. After a White Russian Leg Sweep on Storm, Rhino shows up and Gores The Sandman through a table.
Raven asks someone to understand that he is trying so hard to do the right thing, and he can't go through it again. He says he cannot fight "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer again, as it took so much out of him the first time, and now he is weak. He says Dreamer is too strong, and he cannot do it again. He says the funny thing is that he would lure Dreamer to his side, but Dreamer lured him to his. He wants to do the right thing and he is trying. He will be at Guilty As Charged, and they will get rid of The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm), and he wants him to understand that he will be in his corner. We then see that he is talking to Francine, who replies "I understand. I really do."

Thunderstruck - Thunder recap for May 21, 1998
Tony Schiavone interviews The Giant in the ring to start tonight's show. The Giant shows up with both title belts of the WCW World Tag Team Championships, and says he and Sting had a little disagreement and that he got carried away when he spat in his face. He says Sting did not fully understand the question that he was imposing, and says that Sting is "under the weather" and is not here. He says that he and Sting are fine and that Sting made the right decision, saying he is "nWo all the way." All of a sudden, Lex Luger shows up as Schiavone says that Sting's actions on Monday night seemed to prove otherwise, and says that it is a funny thing to hear what is coming out of The Giant's mouth and that security - which has shown up along with referees and some wrestlers from the locker room - is not necessary. He says that he has talked to Sting personally and says everything The Giant is saying is a total, unadulterated lie. Luger says he and a lot of fans doubted Sting once, and that he is not going down that road again. He says that if The Giant wants to be part of the nWo, that is fine, but now that he has attacked Sting and lied his ass off, he is now challenging him to a match later on tonight. The Giant says that is fine, and he gives Luger the same choice he gave Sting, saying he can make the right choice or the wrong choice, given that they have been tag team partners and champions together. When asked if he wants to join the nWo, Luger says his answer is the same as Sting's, and he spits in The Giant's face before getting off the apron. Referees and wrestlers get in the ring to keep The Giant from charging at Luger, and the wrestlers that get in the ring - all cruiserweights - are easily fended off by The Giant. He says that if Lex Luger wants some of him, he's got some.
Ernest "The Cat" Miller beats Yuji Nagata despite physical involvement by Sonny Onoo.
This week on WCW Saturday Night: The Giant! Konnan!
Before the next match, Chris Jericho shows up with a sign saying "Conspiracy Victim" and a clipboard. He says that the footage of him throwing a temper tantrum after Slamboree was "propaganda" and that it will never happen again, then says that he is the victim of a conspiracy so large that it is as big as the 1918 Chicago "Black Sox," the Roswell Incident and the John F. Kennedy assassination and has robbed him of the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. He says this conspiracy has been perpetrated by "the snake oil salesmen" in the WCW office and the locker room, and demands that WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon face him in the ring right now. Dillon shows up soon after He goes on to call Dillon "a twisted old fruit" and reads the evidence of a conspiracy against him in the form of the list of participants in the Cruiserweight Championship battle royal, which does not include Dean Malenko. Jericho says that there was no way he should have lost to Dean Malenko and that the battle royal was "fixed," and says he will not stop hounding Dillon until he finally faces him and gives him and Jerichoholics what they want: Jericho as Cruiserweight Champion again.
Chris Jericho beats Super Calo with the Lion Tamer.
Raven shows up with riot police. He says that Saturn implied at Slamboree that he no longer needed him and that he wanted to be on his own. He says their friendship was more important than his selfish desire to be United States Champion. He then asks Saturn who took his collect calls when he was in detention homes and got him his jobs in Extreme Championship Wrestling and WCW as Saturn shows up, and says he did. He tells Saturn that he thought their friendship was important and that Saturn was loyal. Saturn says his loyalty is not at question; rather, it is Raven's being drunk with power, as he is not a mindless zombie that follows the guru and he has never been a member of Raven's Flock. Instead, he is his friend, and their relationship is 50/50. He tells Raven that if their friendship is to continue, Raven will not boss him around again. Raven says Saturn was right and that he is wrong and he is sorry. Saturn leaves, then Raven says he knows Mortis is in the building wearing a rainbow wig and a "horrible" disguise, and calls him out for a one-on-one match. Mortis, carrying his mask with him, shows up from out of the stage and heads down the ramp to the ring. Raven then sics the riot police on him, then a fan jumps the barricade and hits a reverse Russian leg sweep on Raven before running to the back. The announce table is confused as to who was Mortis.
Fit Finley retains the WCW World Television Championship against Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.
Tony Schiavone announces that the WCW Executive Committee has named a #1 contender for the WCW World Television Championship: Booker T. Schiavone is about to interview Booker T when "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit shows up instead, wanting to talk to whoever it was who made the final decision on this. Booker T then shows up and says he respect Benoit a lot, but he is not scared of him. He says that the committee have made their decision and he can live with it, and says they have had their battles, that it is over and done with, and now it is his turn. Benoit tells Booker T that he is the #1 contender and that he will get what he deserves. Benoit almost leaves, then blindsides Booker T as soon as he turns his back. Stevie Ray then shows up, telling Booker to get up before asking him what is wrong with him, saying he needs to remember where he is and not to lay down for Benoit as he tells Booker to fight him. He then tells Booker T to head back to the back and show what kind of man he is.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan beats Brian Adams by disqualification after Biel tossing referee Charles Robinson across the ring for grabbing him by the hear to break a hold performed by Adams on the ropes. After the match, Adams goes for a big boot on Hacksaw, but inadvertently kicks Vincent off the ring apron before being slammed onto the mat by Duggan. Vincent then gives Duggan's 2x4 to Adams, who swings it at Charles Robinson and misses before Duggan clotheslines it out of Adams' hands.
Saturn beats Hammer after Raven hits Hammer with an Evenflow DDT as Reese distracts referee Mark Curtis on the ring apron. Saturn tells Raven he does not need his help, but Raven says he does.
Rick Rude shows up, then introduces Curt Hennig as the next WCW United States Heavyweight Champion. Rude then says people have been asking him which side of the nWo he is on, and says he is true blue and a friend until the end, and says he and Hennig live by the buddy system and have each other's backs. He then says that the only colors they will be wearing are black and blue. Hennig says Goldberg and his undefeated streak is what is really bothering him, and calls him "the biggest mark [he has] ever seen in his life." He says that if he wants to put his undefeated streak on the line against him, he can put a blemish on it right now. Rick Rude then gives Goldberg ten seconds to get in the ring, but Hennig says he has a better idea. He challenges Goldberg to a match for the United States title at The Great American Bash, where he says that Goldberg will run into an iceberg from Minnesota and sink to the bottom, never to see light again. Rick Rude then tells Goldberg "United we stand...secluded, you fall."
Horace beats Juventud Guerrera after Reese hits Juventud with a choke bomb behind the referee's back.
Tony Schiavone nearly gets hit in the head with a drink on the commentary table.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth show up. Savage said that at Slamboree, he promised the tag team match from Hell and says that it would have been completely insane. He brags that he would go to Hell and make a deal with the devil to get Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan together in the ring and make "Rowdy" Roddy Piper his tag team partner. He admits that both he and Piper hate each other and that they both hate Bret even more than that, and tells Piper that he can count on him and that he thinks he can count on Piper. He then says that if Piper wants a piece of him afterwards, that works for him, because last Monday's apology that he did not give him was very weak. He says that if Piper is not man enough to apologize to him, then he is man enough to beat an apology out of Piper. Savage says he wants Piper fired up for that tag team battle, and after they beat Hart and Hogan, he will beat up Piper. Savage says he doesn't know what an icon is, but he knows what the madness is, and is Piper is brave enough to tag team with him, then they can go at it afterwards.
We hear from Eddie Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero Jr. and their mother. Eddie butts in, saying that his mother is proud of what he is doing with Chavo, but Chavo and mother say otherwise.
Before the next match, Eddie Guerrero tells Chavo Guerrero Jr. that the family is a bit confused as to what is going on as of late, but Chavo Guerrero Jr. gets himself fired up for his own match and tells Eddie to get out, much to Eddie's own confusion.
Dean Malenko retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Texas Cloverleaf. After the match, Eddie dares Chavo to hit him after hitting him with his towel. Chavo rears back to hit him, then kisses him instead before slapping Eddie in the face, much to the surprise of Eddie.
Lex Luger beats The Giant by disqualification. During the match, a fan tries to get into the ring but is quickly caught by WCW security. Later on in the match, Sting shows up wearing an nWo shirt, but it is the fake nWo Sting and not the real one. He and The Giant stomp Luger while The Giant drapes an nWo shirt on Luger to end the show.

Thunderstruck - Thunder recap for March 19, 1998
Before the next match, Chris Jericho says everyone knows that "Terry Hut" is his favorite town, and that the Jerichoholics deserve to give him a round of applause for being their hero and role model. On the subject of Rey Mysterio Jr.'s knee, he says that sometimes, faces get slapped and feelings get hurt, and that it will never happen again.
Chris Jericho retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Super Calo with the Lion Tamer.
Kendall Windham beats El Dandy. During the match, Raven's Flock takes their seats in the front row, and Raven is seen holding up the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, which he has never officially won.
Tony Schiavone interviews Curt Hennig and Rick Rude. Hennig says "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan sent him on a mission to destroy Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who was not in the building on Nitro and is not in the building tonight. He says that Bret is as dumb as he looks, and that if Bret says in Canada forever, he and Rude will have gotten the job done. Rude says Bret has a new nickname: Bret "The Zit Man" Hart, because at Uncensored, he and Hennig proved that Hart was "nothing more than a 240-lb. boil on the booty of life." He also says that with the rest of the Hart family, one will dredge up the same results should they fester up "a bad case of acne." Rude then says he sees professional wrestling like he does Indiana: it is a great big pack of puss, and he and Hennig will be "a-lancin' and a-prancin' for a long time to come." Hennig says that is a long time, because for 26 years and more, he and Rude have had their way with the world, and in the last 15 years, they have ruled the wrestling business whether the people know it or not. He says that they have never lost a fight, and that Rude knows that is the way it was, that is the way it is and that is the way it always will be. Hennig and Rude then joke around with Rude asking Hennig if he wants a Halls cough drop, with Hennig saying no because they are just too sweet.
Perry Saturn beats La Parka with the Rings of Saturn after drop kicking La Parka in the back, sending La Parka head-first into his own steel chair.

Brian Adams beats Marty Jannetty.

Raven beats Brad Armstrong in a Raven's Rules Match. During the match, Raven tells Armstrong he gave him an opportunity for salvation and redemption and that he did not take him up on that offer. He then says he made no such offer to Diamond Dallas Page, because someone as evil and heinous as him does not deserve a second chance. He says DDP deserted him, and he can never forgive him for that. He then says last night was to be DDP's moment of shining glory on MTV Live, but he took all of that way from him, saying that should have been him. Because of that, he took a stop sign and beat him unmercifully about the head with it. He says that DDP is about to feel the suffering that is his destiny, and while he grows more powerful, DDP will grow weaker. He hits Armstrong with an Evenflow DDT before saying that DDP is nevermore.
We see a video package for Bret "The Hit Man" Hart.
Scott Norton beats "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit following a distraction by Vincent.
Bill Goldberg - at this point known as just Goldberg - beats Wayne Bloom. After the match, an angry Perry Saturn jumps the guardrail in an attempt to take on Goldberg, but is pulled back by the rest of Raven's Flock.
Rick Steiner beats Curt Hennig by disqualification after Rick Rude trips Steiner off the top rope. After the match, Rick Rude attacks Steiner, but Ted DiBiase punches Rick Rude before Henning knocks him out. Rick Rude then wraps his tie around Steiner's neck so that Hennig can get a few shots in. Steiner, however, fights back and hits Hennig with a belly-to-belly suplex before going for the ground and pound. Brian Adams, Vincent and Scott Norton rush in and stomp Steiner, but Ray Traylor runs in in an attempt to take on the nWo. Traylor, unfortunately, gets ganged up on. The nWo goes on the attack, with Rick Rude choking DiBiase out with his tie, until Goldberg suddenly rushes in and takes out the nWo single-handedly with a couple of Spears. Rick Steiner and Ray Traylor then clear out the ring, and the nWo retreats.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 17, 1997
The show begins with the arrival of The New World Order. Suddenly, Scott Hall turns around to discover that Big Bubba has been attacked.
Rey Mysterio, Jr. beats Super Calo. During the match, it is announced that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is preparing for his match against "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan in Alcatraz Prison, and that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) were injured in an auto accident after WCW Pro and will not be able to compete in SuperBrawl VII. The camera then cuts to Big Bubba being placed in an ambulance on a stretcher outside of the arena.
Steve "Mongo" McMichael beats Hugh Morrus after Debra McMichael sneaks the steel Halliburton briefcase into the ring and distracts the ref so Mongo can use the briefcase to protect himself from a No Laughing Matter from Morrus.
We see a video package of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
Before the next match, Dean Malenko leaves Syxx with a message: 10 minutes from the arena is where his father took Syxx under his wing and trained him to become a professional wrestler. At SuperBrawl VII, Syxx will get a lesson from him not to mess with other people's property.
Dean Malenko beats Robbie Brookside with the Texas Cloverleaf. After the match, Syxx shows up with the WCW Cruiserweight Championship around his waist, and tells Malenko that he never liked him and that any respect and gratitude he had for his dad died with his dad. He says that Malenko ducked him since he showed up in WCW, and if he had to steal the Cruiserweight title to get a shot, so be it. Syxx then tells Malenko that he's "got [his] respect and gratitude right here," and Malenko goes after him.
The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Syxx show up, and say that "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko are Tony Schiavone are gossiping like women at a hair salon.

He says that Prince Iaukea has his chance to fight him for the title tonight. As for Rey Mysterio, Jr. at SuperBrawl VII, he says Rey should stay at home with "the other six dwarfs and Snow White," or else he won't be 5'4" anymore as he'll make a handrail for the Great Wall of China out of him.
Prince Iaukea beats "Lord" Steven Regal to become the WCW World Television Champion after Rey Mysterio, Jr. shows up, distracting Regal and allowing Iaukea to win with a crucifix pin.

Rick Steiner is so focused on The Outsiders that his and Scott's Mercury Sable tumbles off the side of the road and lands upside down. The Outsiders and Syxx flee the scene of this accident immediately, proving that The Outsiders are the cause of the accident that caused the Steiners' injuries.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Taskmaster, Jimmy Hart and Jacqueline. Jimmy Hart says that Woman has been built on a bluff during her wrestling career, and that she will find out why The Taskmaster and Jacqueline are "too legit to quit." The Taskmaster says he had no place to go until Jacqueline strutted back into his life, and that Florida is his backyard. At SuperBrawl VII, they will see whose fire is hotter. Jacqueline tells Woman that she's just a little girl, and if she interferes at SuperBrawl VII, she will whip her up and down the ring. She concludes by saying that Nancy has a big, fat butt. (The author would like to say that "Mean" Gene Okerlund's reaction to the "big, fat butt" comment makes this more hilarious than it should ever be.)

Flair says there is excitement in the air as the Horsemen are in town and they look good. He says that the Horsemen are reunited, and in the weeks to come, they will own the wrestling world. Anderson says that a few months ago, The New World Order had their way with everyone, but Eric Bischoff failed to take the character of the people he hired into consideration, and says that WCW is fighting back against the nWo and that the Horsemen aren't stepping aside for anybody. Mongo tells Jeff Jarrett that he belongs to him this Sunday, while Debra says that Jarrett is a winner, and tells the announcers to step their game up as she was afraid that Jarrett was injured, and that Jarrett is useless to the Horsemen if he is injured. She goes on to say that Jacqueline cannot walk in a pair of pumps to save her life. Benoit tells The Taskmaster that he will do what he's always done: kick the door down and make a statement. He tells The Taskmaster that he has fought for what he believes in, and that he will fight to the death for it, as this match is now about what's in his and Taskmaster's souls. The Taskmaster will have to break his bones, his will and his soul to beat him, and that all The Taskmaster owns is himself.
The Giant quickly beats Top Gun and Johnny Swinger in a handicap match. After the match, The Giant spray paints "Hall" on the back of Top Gun and "Nash" on the back of Johnny Swinger, then "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Giant after being accompanied by Lex Luger. Luger holds up a piece of paper, and it is confirmed to be a medical release to compete with a protective device at SuperBrawl VII. Bischoff shows up and tells Luger that he is a week late, and that he will not wrestle at SuperBrawl VII. Luger calls Bischoff "a pathetic little creature who hides behind his title," and says that there is no way Bischoff can prevent him from making his way to SuperBrawl VII, and Bischoff views this as a threat. The Giant and Lex Luger climb out of the ring when Bischoff says he can fire him and The Giant, and chase him to the back.
We see "Rowdy" Roddy Piper live on Alcatraz Island. He says he has fought for everything and that he has been dead inside for years, and that when a man is dead inside, there is nothing that a man can do to hurt him. He calls "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan "Mr. Spandex" and calls him a facade who constantly craves recognition. He is now staying in Alcatraz for seven days and seven nights, and instead of creating the world, he is destroying Hogan, as there is no room for the both of them and that what Hogan did to him is beyond wrestling. At SuperBrawl VII, he plans to teach Hogan that pain is a four letter word.
Chris Jericho beats Jeff Jarrett. Debra McMichael shows up during the match, and Steve "Mongo" McMichael shows up to confront Debra. Debra tells Jericho not to hurt Jarrett, but Mongo hits Jarrett in the back with the steel Halliburton briefcase as he has Jericho in the Figure Four Leg Lock.
"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan shows up with Eric Bischoff, Miss Elizabeth, and Ted DiBiase, with the rest of the New World Order just behind him at the entrance ramp. Hogan says that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is crazy to get back in the ring with him and "get his brains beat out again." He continues to call Piper a liar and a coward as Sting and "Macho Man" Randy Savage appear at the entrance ramp. Bischoff tells Hogan that Piper can't even carry his boots to the ring. Hogan says he put Tampa and Venice Beach, Florida on the map and that he is the man. Sting approaches the ring, but "Macho Man" says something inaudible to Sting as if to say "not yet," and they both leave. Hogan says he will ride Piper like the dog that he is, and insists he be called just "Hollywood" Hogan from now on.
Rey Mysterio, Jr. beats Super Calo. During the match, it is announced that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is preparing for his match against "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan in Alcatraz Prison, and that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) were injured in an auto accident after WCW Pro and will not be able to compete in SuperBrawl VII. The camera then cuts to Big Bubba being placed in an ambulance on a stretcher outside of the arena.
Steve "Mongo" McMichael beats Hugh Morrus after Debra McMichael sneaks the steel Halliburton briefcase into the ring and distracts the ref so Mongo can use the briefcase to protect himself from a No Laughing Matter from Morrus.
We see a video package of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
Before the next match, Dean Malenko leaves Syxx with a message: 10 minutes from the arena is where his father took Syxx under his wing and trained him to become a professional wrestler. At SuperBrawl VII, Syxx will get a lesson from him not to mess with other people's property.
Dean Malenko beats Robbie Brookside with the Texas Cloverleaf. After the match, Syxx shows up with the WCW Cruiserweight Championship around his waist, and tells Malenko that he never liked him and that any respect and gratitude he had for his dad died with his dad. He says that Malenko ducked him since he showed up in WCW, and if he had to steal the Cruiserweight title to get a shot, so be it. Syxx then tells Malenko that he's "got [his] respect and gratitude right here," and Malenko goes after him.
The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Syxx show up, and say that "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko are Tony Schiavone are gossiping like women at a hair salon.

Super Calo beats Pat Tanaka in his Nitro debut by reversing a top rope superplex into a pinfall. During the match, an nWo street team with stacks of flyers is seen outside of the arena.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Rick Steiner backstage. Steiner is convinced he had Lex Luger beaten even though their match last week never started, and Lex Luger says he's focused this week in singles competition with him tonight as he's ready for War Games, which is good for him and bad for Rick. Rick Steiner is confused as to what is going on the entire time.
In another announcement paid for by the New World Order, Hall, Nash and The Giant hawk the official New World Order T-shirt, with all proceeds going to "The Ric Flair Retirement Fund."
Before the next match, The Amazing French Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet) sing "O Canada," much to the dismay of the crowd.

Steve "Mongo" McMichael and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit show up, and they are convinced from Sting's absence that they're going to lose. Lex Luger says Sting is in the building. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson says he's already booked a hospital room in Winston-Salem, as he knows everyone on their team is going to get hurt. He also tells "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan that he should have used battery acid instead of a bat on him, as he came back from a trip to the hospital to confront him the very next week.
Juventud Guerrera beats Joe Gomez. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews referee Nick Patrick about the disqualification during last week's match between The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and the team of Sting and Lex Luger. Patrick insists Luger intentionally hit him due to a vendetta against him from "all the lies [Okerlund's] been spreading about me" and asks why Luger hasn't been suspended from WCW. Okerlund says that Patrick has been in too many controversial calls for this to be coincidence, but Patrick says that Okerlund is stirring the pot and that the fans are pointing fingers at him, and insists that he is WCW all the way. After the interview, we see that The New World Order (Hall, Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, The Giant) are posting nWo flyers on cars in the parking lot as it rains outside while Ted DiBiase is talking to someone who is inside the limousine, raising the possibility of a sixth man in the nWo.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Diamond Dallas Page vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Rick Steiner vs. Kurasawa! Lex Luger! Scott "Flash" Norton! "The Crippler" Chris Benoit! The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs)!
Rick Steiner beats Lex Luger by count-out. During the match, pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour. Also during the match, referee Nick Patrick motions Luger to the back, telling him that something has happened to Sting out back. We find out that Sting is talking to Ted DiBiase (even though it's obviously a recording), and when Lex Luger asks where Sting is, Sting comes out of the limo in black and white and attacks Luger along with the rest of The New World Order (DiBiase, Hall, Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan).

During the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael) and Lex Luger. Anderson is shocked with the recent turn of events concerning Sting, considering that Sting has been the only constant in the last ten years. Luger can't even give answers to Anderson, but he wants in on War Games even more and heads out of the building to find answer from Sting. Flair says the confusion is over, and tells The New World Order (Hall, Nash, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, The Giant, Sting) that they're going to town on Sunday. Anderson says this will be a fight to the death - the nWo's, not theirs. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Dungeon of Doom (Jimmy Hart, The Taskmaster, Big Bubba, Meng, Barbarian, Hugh MOrrus, Maxx, Konnan). Jimmy Hart is sick of everyone getting in his face concerning The Giant, and says when The Giant turned traitor and joined The New World Order, it was the beginning of the end for him and he just didn't know it yet. Big Bubba still wants to know if Glacier is going to show up and get a piece of him. Konnan is tired of the nWo and their public service announcements, and challenge them to come to the ring right now. The Taskmaster tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage to do them a favor and clear his debt with them by taking out John Tenta if he feels he owes them a debt for helping him to the back last week, and to watch his back at War Games. He also says you can't trust anyone around here, and if Sting will turn, who else will?
We see another paid announcement from The New World Order. They brag about the money they have and the fact that they have the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. DiBiase also has plans for the nWo: time on the WCW's programming as well as an "nWo tag team tournament" with "nWo Tag Team Championships."
John Tenta beats "Macho Man" Randy Savage by count-out after Theodore Long asks "Macho Man" Randy Savage to come to the back, saying that The New World Order are back.

Despite all the rain, the WCW wrestlers spray paint "WCW" on the abandoned limo with the yellow spray paint. As Eric Bischoff speaks, The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael) show up. Anderson calls out Hogan for turning his back on WCW and turning Sting against the company and promises to take Sting's head off. Flair tells Hogan that he will not leave town alive after War Games.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Rick Steiner backstage. Steiner is convinced he had Lex Luger beaten even though their match last week never started, and Lex Luger says he's focused this week in singles competition with him tonight as he's ready for War Games, which is good for him and bad for Rick.
