Hulk Hogan starts the show with NBA star Dennis Rodman. They plan to be as bad as they want to be...later...
A white limousine pulls up, and out comes "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and his Family, who are now dressed similarly to Piper.
Steve "Mongo" McMichael and Jeff Jarrett finally manager to get along and not sabotage each other as they beat High Voltage (Rage and Kaos).
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who shows up with his Family. Piper says he's never seen so many pretty women at one place at one time, and when he was a kid, spring break meant the last spring in his mattress is gone, and that's how he has six kids. Piper says that Howard Stern is afraid to have him on his show because he gave a few guys a break, and says that Stern is "hung like a pimple." He also mentions Dennis Rodman, and tells him it's a kilt, not a skirt. He says Rodman has tattooed parts while he has metal parts. He also criticizes the WWF for saying they have no "one-hip" wrestlers at their pay-per-views, and admits they are right, saying they have no one hip at their pay-per-views, which is why everyone watches WCW's instead. When he was in the WWF and beat Goldust, he had one hip. (He also screams "Uncensored!" in-between jokes.) He says his Family has more guts inside of them than anyone else, and that he is no a fair-weather friend and that he will not walk away from them because of the critics. All of a sudden, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair makes an entrance, and he brings the rest of The Four Horsemen ("The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Jeff Jarrett, Debra McMichael) with him. Anderson says his Family must think a lot of him for letting them take the beating to enter the Family, and says they have a lot of heart, but tells them that this is a job for professionals, not amateurs. Anderson tells Piper that he offered the services of the Horsemen once before, before his first match against "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan at Halloween Havoc. He says the New World Order has gotten to all of them, and that the rule of thumb that you bash an intruder in your home with whatever you can when he breaks in still holds true. He says that they have had a lot of problems, and that maybe Piper could be the rallying point for the Horsemen, and that maybe the Horsemen could be the ones to help them pull this off. Before Piper can answer, Flair gets on the microphone and says he wants to stand at his side one more time. He came to tell Piper that he has broken the rule that they always live by: never overmatch yourself. He says that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan will come back and return with greater numbers in the form of The New World Order. Flair tells Hogan that "the stupid little man" wants back in the game, and he wants to stand with the Hot Rod as he offers The Horsemen to him for Uncensored. Flair hands Piper his jacket, and asks if he is with the Horsemen. Piper puts the jacket on, and says that the Family will have his back as he accepts The Horsemen's services.
We hear pre-recorded comments from "Squire" David Taylor, who tells Prince Iaukea that he saw how he beat "Lord" Steven Regal, and that tonight, he will get a lesson in the finer art of wrestling. Shortly after we hear Taylor's comments, the Monday Nitro Hummer limo shows up, as does the New World Order. Suddenly, another person in the nWo is laid out, and it happens to be Michael Wallstreet.
Prince Iaukea retains the WCW World Television Championship against "Squire" David Taylor.
Dean Malenko guests on commentary for the next match to show what "the true Eddie Guerrero" is all about, and says Eddie is jealous of him, that Eddie is not a true champion and that Eddie will not reach the heights of the Cruiserweight division that he has. He understands accidents do happen, but still thinks that Eddie tried to steal his belt and is a man who will do anything to get a win.
Eddie Guerrero beats Joe Gomez after he pushes Theodore Long off the apron. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Eddie after the match, and Eddie says that he is not the one who is saying he is a "new and improved wrestler" who punches, kicks and chokes uncharacteristically. When he asks who the one who doesn't seem like himself, Okerlund says it's Eddie. Eddie then states that he is sick and tired of his friends and family and everyone else in WCW of thinking he's changing. He is also sick and tired of Malenko blaming him for his attitude, and tells him that his problems are all on him. He says Malenko told him his gameplan, and if Malenko thinks he'll give his away, all Eddie can say is that he'll see him on Sunday at Uncensored.
Diamond Dallas Page beats Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Page after the match, and says the crowd's appreciation for him is impressive. Page says the fans know who the real deal is, and calls out "Macho Man' Randy Savage. Suddenly, the power goes out, and Page cannot even be heard as the lights have went dark. Okerlund and Page conduct the rest of interview as if nothing is happening.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Chris Jericho! Jeff Jarrett! Eddie Guerrero! Prince Iaukea! An interview with "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair!
"Mean" Gene Okerlund continues his interview with Diamond Dallas Page. Page calls out "Macho Man" Randy Savage again, saying Savage has snapped again and telling Savage he hasn't forgotten him. He says Savage will remember his name, and remember him as DDP.
We hear pre-recorded comments from Rey Mysterio, Jr., who says that it's just him and Prince Iaukea at Uncensored. Everyone doubted him in the beginning, but he's becoming a big star, and he wants the Television title. When he gets the title, he dares "Lord" Steven Regal to take it away from him.
Rey Mysterio, Jr. beats Galaxy.
Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Miss WCW Monday Nitro, who is supposed to be accompanied by MTV VJ John Sencio. Sencio shows up first, and introduces Miss WCW Monday Nitro Pamela Rogers to the ring. He also announces that The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Syxx will be the torturers on MTV's Fame or Shame next week on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd during MTV Spring Break.
The Giant, Lex Luger and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Road Block and The Amazing French-Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet). It is announced that the WCW vs. nWo match at Uncensored will start out as a Triangle Match, and that more members will show up as time passes until all twelve men are in the ring. If WCW wins, the nWo must relinquish all championship belts back to WCW and cannot wrestle in a WCW-sanctioned event for the next 36 months. If "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and The Four Horsemen win, Piper gets a cage match against "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan in the future. If nWo wins, they get to vie for any championship at any time. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews the winning team after the match. Luger says that The Horsemen are a band of cutthroats with their own personal agenda, and asks Piper not to trust them. He says that The Giant and The Steiner Brothers are the reason why WCW will win at Uncensored, as he knows where they are coming from and know they can take it home. The Giant says that WCW can't lose with the four of them, and tells the nWo "Don't sing it, bring it." Rick Steiner says he's never been right before the car accident, and says that this dog will hunt. Scott Steiner tells The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) that they're coming for them. Luger says there has been a foul, repugnant smell from the nWo within the last year, and that victory will be indeed sweet as Okerlund puts it.
The Ultimate Dragon beats Juventud Guerrera.
Scotty Riggs beats Chris Jericho by disqualification when Buff Bagwell rushes into the ring and whacks Riggs in the back with a leather belt. Jericho takes the belt away from Bagwell, and he and Bagwell briefly fight before the latter man retreats.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Madusa. Madusa is sick and tired of other women saying they are #1 contender for the Women' title and can kick her butt, as well as managers wanting a piece of her. She says she's been there and done that five years ago, and says she will fight and beat Akira Hokuto for the WCW Women's Championship anywhere, anytime. She also asks Luna Vachon why she isn't here tonight.
Lee Marshall calls from Savannah, Georgia - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
The Taskmaster and Hardbody Harrison wrestle to a double count-out, and once again Jacqueline gives The Taskmaster's opponent the beating of his life before The Taskmaster beats up Harrison outside of the ring before they both throw him in the pool near the ring. This is also the first match refereed by Randy Anderson following the suspension of Eric Bischoff, confirming that Randy Anderson is now back and re-hired by WCW. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jimmy Hart, Jacqueline and The Taskmaster after the match. Jimmy Hart says that when he's ringside next to them, he feels as safe as the inside of Fort Knox. He says the women of WCW are too afraid to leave the locker room as Jacqueline is armed and dangerous and because she and Taskmaster are too legit to quit. Jacqueline says there are a lot of women who are winter dressing, but she isn't because she's the real deal. Taskmaster calls "Rowdy" Roddy Piper the smartest man he's ever met as he's heading to a battle against the nWo unprepared, and tells Piper that thanks to him, The Four Horsemen have something to focus on. He wants them all at full strength, including "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Woman. He tells Piper and the Horsemen not to have any excuses on Sunday night.
The New World Order shows up. Once again, Sting brings up the rear. Eric Bischoff says that everywhere they've been, they've been partying. "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan says "The Real Hot Rod" Dennis Rodman is a member of the New World Order. We see footage of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan announcing that Rodman will be at Uncensored and Rodman says that the nWo is the new team of the future. We go back to the live broadcast, where Hogan says this will put a whole new twist on Uncensored as the most uncensored man in the world will be with them, as WCW won't know what to do. They then give Sting his colors, which they have forgotten to do until now. Hogan places the shirt on Sting, who does not react. The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) tell The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) that they know they're good, but The Outsiders are better. They tell Lex Luger and The Giant that they beat them at SuperBrawl VII, and if they want more, don't sing it, bring it. "Macho Man" Randy Savage and the rest of the nWo mock Diamond Dallas Page, saying he is a nobody and is definitely not the Macho Man. Hogan says there is no doubt in the world of professional wrestling that the nWo "is tits." Next week, nothing will have changed a bit.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock), and Grunge asks who The Four Horsemen think they are, as he calls them "show ponies" and says that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has a long, hard road ahead of him this Sunday. After Johnny Grunge mocks The Horsemen, Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) attack them to end the show.

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. Scott Hall confirms there was an automobile accident involving them and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), but if they think they're going to pin the accident on them, they're wrong. Hall pulls out a video tape with footage of the accident, proving their supposed innocence. The Outsiders and Syxx then have a war of words with Zbyzsko, and Zbyzsko refuses to back down.
The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) are seen in the crowd before the next match, as are Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) and Sister Sherri.
Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) beat The Amazing French Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet). It is announced that the Four Corners match is now a #1 contenders Triangle Match for the WCW World Tag Team Championships.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Diamond Dallas Page. Page says he just entered the arena and has no idea who attacked Big Bubba at the top of the show, and denies any involvement in the incident.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Jeff Jarrett vs. Konnan! Rey Mysterio, Jr. vs. Villano IV! Ice Train vs. Super Calo!
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Lord' Steven Regal before the next match. Regal insists he would wrestle anyone in the world anywhere with the Television title, and he has done just that. 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. Theodore Long, Johnny Grunge, Eddie Guerrero, and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock rush out to congratulate Prince Iaukea, while Regal argues with referee Randy Anderson and gets physical with him only for Anderson to push back.
Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.
Randy Anderson beats Nick Patrick after referee Jimmy Jett hands him a foreign object before the match. An angry Eric Bischoff confronts both Anderson and Jett, and fires Jett while denying Anderson his job back.
Lee Marshall calls from San Francisco, California - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner is seen in the crowd with his grandson.
"The Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Road Block after Road Block confronts Woman only to get slapped in the face.
We see footage of the accident involving The Outsiders (Kevin Hall and Scott Hall), Syxx and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner). The threesome follow The Steiner Brothers, then decide to mess with them by ramming them from behind. 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.)
The Taskmaster beats Doc Dean thanks to the help of Jacqueline, who absolutely puts a hurting on Doc Dean outside of the ring. Jacqueline drops elbows on Doc Dean after the match.
Eddie Guerrero beats Konnan by disqualification and retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship when The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) attack Eddie. Chris Jericho shows up and fights off The Faces of Fear, then bumps into Eddie, whom he faces for the title this Sunday.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Woman, Debra McMichael). 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.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 10, 1997
Before the next match, Dean Malenko calls out Syxx, telling him he knows that he stole the WCW Cruiserweight Championship from him, and that he extends to him an open invitation to a wrestling lesson and a lesson in respect.
Dean Malenko beats Eddie Guerrero by count-out. During the match, Syxx shows up with the WCW Cruiserweight Championship around his waist, hitting Dave Penzer while trying to take away Eddie Guerrero's United States title. Eddie Guerrero goes after Syxx and gets it back, but Syxx escapes into the stands and Eddie Guerrero can't get back in the ring in time. Eddie offers his hand, but Dean Malenko slaps it away.
Diamond Dallas Page shows immediately after the opening bout with a chair. He takes the chair with him on the way to the ring and sits down. He says it's obvious he has a target in the middle of his forehead. He's never been accused to being the smartest guy, and says he might be doing the stupidest thing he's ever done. He says he is tired of running and if something is going to happen, then it might as well happen right now. Sting and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are suddenly spotted coming out from the stands and heading to the ring. Sting tosses his bat to Savage, and Savage taps Page's bat with the chair as he and Sting circle page. Page gets out of the chair after a few taps, and Sting pushes Page back with the bat after Savage tosses it back to him before teasing attacking him with the bat. Sting then hands the bat to Page and turns his back, as does Savage, and the two of them dare Page to attack them. Page does nothing, and Savage takes the bat from him before as he and Sting leave.
Konnan quickly beats Bobby Eaton.
Before Lex Luger can take on Ron Powers, Eric Bischoff gets in his way and keeps him from competing tonight due to Luger's hand being broken and in a cast from last week's attack from The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall). Bischoff tells him to give him a doctor's release before he leaves the country, or else Luger will be out of action for four to six weeks - and miss SuperBrawl VII - and that Bischoff could fire him. Lex Luger leaves angry, and The Giant shows up as Eric Bischoff talks about how he has to protect the wrestles from themselves. Eric Bischoff runs to the back as soon as he notices him, then The Giant takes Lex Luger's place in the match.
The Giant beats Ron Powers. Mike Tenay interviews The Giant after the match, who says that The Outsiders are dealing with a true, fire-breathing, walking 7'4", 475 lb. giant, not a regular man. He is not concerned about having a partner for the World Tag Team Championship match, as he has a partner in Lex Luger as he opened the door for him when nobody else would, as everyone else was scared and intimidated and considered him untrustworthy. He says Luger has the heart and intensity, and he has to ask Luger one question, and when he gets his answer, "we'll see." Luger shows up, and The Giant asks him if he would let anything stop him from championship gold after all they have both been through. Luger says no. The Giant then says that at SuperBrawl VII, when it's him alone vs. Hall and Nash and he beats him like he owns them, he will walk out of San Francisco with the WCW World Tag Team Championships, and one of them will go to Luger when he does.

He has brought them here to show them the pain Bischoff has put them through, and asks Bischoff to give him his job back. Bischoff says he should have given this more thought, and asks his children to tell his dad that he's still fired and to get on with his life as Nash and Hall make fun of him. Bischoff tells him to deal with adversity, but decides to give him a taste of adversity and prove that he has a heart and the ability to play on a level playing field by putting Anderson in the ring in a match with Nick Patrick. His wife Christy tells him not to do this after what the doctors have told him, but Randy says that he's wrestled cancer and that he will wrestle Nick Patrick. Eric Bischoff gives Nash and Hall an opportunity to wrestle tonight, and they pretend to leave as The Extreme (Devon Storm and Ace Darling) show up for another match. Syxx distracts The Extreme while Nash and Hall attack them from behind. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko returns to commentary.
The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) beat The Extreme (Devon Storm and Ace Darling) with a Torture Rack on Storm.

Hugh Morrus beats "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright.
"The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Steve "Mongo" McMichael beat Jeff Jarrett and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. when Debra McMichael keeps Jeff Jarrett out of the ring. It becoms apparent that Debra has feeling for Jarrett as "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson show up as Mike Tenay is about to interview The Four Horsemen. When Mike Tenay calls him the voice of reason in The Horsemen, Anderson says that he is the most unreasonable man you will ever meet. He says that everyone is preparing for war in WCW, and that while Jarrett may have caught Debra's eye, the last guy to do so woke up in six weeks with a flea collar around his neck and sandbags holding his feet up as he asks "How many of them were there?" He tells The Taskmaster that he has lost his soul and his will to win, and that it's time to bury the body. Flair states that today, The Horsemen are in town, and whether you like it or you don't, learn to love it as The Four Horsemen are the best thing going today. Benoit tells The Taskmaster that they have the same personalities and ideologies, and if he wants to play his head games, they'll play them and play them to win. Mongo makes fun of the Jacksonville Jaguars, calling them "expansion wimps," before confronting Debra about what she was doing with Jarrett. Debra says she wants to see Jarrett as a Horseman, and that she wouldn't do anything to hurt Mongo as he still loves him. She also says that she was so devastated about what happen last week as she couldn't go shopping that week and that it was like she couldn't focus. Mongo tells Jarrett she has a one-in-a-million chance of beating him, and that if he does, he's a Horseman. Debra calls The Taskmaster and Jacquelion a "fastidious" couple, as she's fast and he's hideous.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper shows up, and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan watches via satellite from the nWo Studios in Hollywood, California. He says he did not come here to talk to Hogan via satellite while he hides in Hollywood, and that he is here because Hogan said he wanted to fight. He made a promise to his son Colt that he was going to quit wrestling and be the father to Colt that he never had as he missed watching half of his kids grow up, but then "that bald headed geek" Hogan had to go and ruin it. He told Colt he was sorry for what he was going to do, and Colt simply told him "Go get him, Dad." That gave him a license to kill, and Hogan is the target. Hogan says he's more pathetic than he realized, and insists that he beat Piper at Starrcade as he accuses Piper of cowardice for his action last week. Hogan says he has no time to drop his schedule as he has multi-million dollar contracts and people waiting in line to get in the ring with him. He tells Piper that he won't be able to hide behind his children at SuperBrawl VII. Piper tells Hogan to shut up, as he is going to murder him at San Francisco and that the difference between him and Dennis Rodman when he is done with him is that Hogan won't jump.
Dean Malenko beats Eddie Guerrero by count-out. During the match, Syxx shows up with the WCW Cruiserweight Championship around his waist, hitting Dave Penzer while trying to take away Eddie Guerrero's United States title. Eddie Guerrero goes after Syxx and gets it back, but Syxx escapes into the stands and Eddie Guerrero can't get back in the ring in time. Eddie offers his hand, but Dean Malenko slaps it away.
Diamond Dallas Page shows immediately after the opening bout with a chair. He takes the chair with him on the way to the ring and sits down. He says it's obvious he has a target in the middle of his forehead. He's never been accused to being the smartest guy, and says he might be doing the stupidest thing he's ever done. He says he is tired of running and if something is going to happen, then it might as well happen right now. Sting and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are suddenly spotted coming out from the stands and heading to the ring. Sting tosses his bat to Savage, and Savage taps Page's bat with the chair as he and Sting circle page. Page gets out of the chair after a few taps, and Sting pushes Page back with the bat after Savage tosses it back to him before teasing attacking him with the bat. Sting then hands the bat to Page and turns his back, as does Savage, and the two of them dare Page to attack them. Page does nothing, and Savage takes the bat from him before as he and Sting leave.

However, the fake Sting is seen first (with updated face paint to match that of the real Sting), and the real Sting in then shown also coming out of the stands. The fake Sting allows the real one into the ring, and makes it look like the real Sting is in cahoots with the fake one.

Hogan then tells Vincent to drag Piper out of the back before he starts to talk about "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, saying that Flair is a great guy but has lost everything and now has a shoulder injury.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for June 3, 1996
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Shark. He has not cut the other half of his hair because he relives the embarrassment of what happened when Big Bubba - who is in the ring with Shark's hair - cut his air to remind himself that he's not a shark, a fish, or an Avalanche, but a man - a 500 pound man named John Tenta.

Badd, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Dave Sullivan, "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright, Jerry Sags, Brian Knobbs, Mr. J.L.).

Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are back in Venice Beach, California...and Macho Man is dressed in black just like Hogan. They're going for The Dungeon of Doom, but Savage asks how much more has to be sacrificed. While Hulk stays in the dark side, Macho Man plans to go to the light side and see who's friend and who's foe.
The Taskmaster beats The Renegade as Jimmy Hart aggravates his former client Renegade with his microphone, telling him that he could have been the next Hulk Hogan if he had only listened to him.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jimmy Hart, The Taskmaster and The Giant. Hart says he was taking care of business while Hogan was making "B-grade movies" because he had the power of attorney to do it, and when Hogan wanted to step in the ring against The Giant, he signed the contract for it because of said power of attorney. He says that Hogan failed to realize one thing: when the contract was made, it was stipulated that if Hogan lost by disqualification at Fall Brawl, The Giant would become the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The Taskmaster says he also signed that contract, and says it wasn't his or The Giant's fault that Hogan got disqualified. "Mean" Gene Okerlund brings out Nick Lambros, who is part of the legal department and an attorney in connection with the Championship Committee. He says that Hart is partially correct, but The Giant is not the World Champion. He has been on the phone with WCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel, who has confirmed that because of the dubious nature of the disqualification, the title will be held up, and it will be awarded to the winner of the three-ring batlle royal at World War 3 on November 26th.

After the match, Savage goes for an elbow drop from the top rope on both men, but The Taskmaster rolls out of the way. As he does this, The Giant shows up and hits a choke slam on Savage. A few men from the back - including "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright - try to stop The Giant, but to no avail. Lex Luger shows up to give Savage the what for when The Giant grabs Luger and destroys him.
Meng beats Lex Luger after hitting Luger with a spike, unbeknownst to the referee. During the match, it is announced that Hulk Hogan will be on Nitro next week.
Next week: The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs)! Dean Malenko!
