Dok Hendrix interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. Hart says he would love to change the face of WrestleMania 13, and after he wins the WWF Championship for a fifth time, The Undertaker will be upset. He tells Sycho sid he is big, powerful and impressive, but he has only lucked out in the two times he has stepped in the ring with him. Hart calls steel cage matches his specialty, and that Sid will be excellently executed. As for his match with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he is content with the fact that Ken Shamrock will call the match down the middle, then he calls "Stone Cold" a hyena that will step into the ring with a lion that will rip him to shreds, and hopes he doesn't snap his legs in half like a pretzel as Austin will be sorry he ever crossed his path. He says that Shamrock is a man to respect, and that Austin has everyone half-believing that he can win against him, but we will all see at WrestleMania 13.

Before the next match, Savio Vega tells Ahmed Johnson he should be a part of The Nation of Domination, as Savio Vega has made him into a prouder and more successful man, and reminds him of the title shots he never got before telling him that he never got them because he is Black, and that if he was white with blonde hair and blue eyes, he would have gotten them. He tells Ahmed that he is nothing, and says the Nation could get him a title shot and make him a champion one more time. All he has to do is raise his fist in unity with him and The Nation. Ahmed raises his right fist, then smashes it right into Savio Vega's chest, starting the match.
Ahmed Johnson beats Savio Vega by disqualification after Ahmed attacks the rest of The Nation of Domination during the match and The Nation respond in kind with a beatdown of their own. Faarooq whips Ahmed with a leather strap.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley says that Chyna, the "Bionic Woman," works for him and not the WWF. Helmsley calls Chyna his personal assistant who takes care of his needs on the road, and that is all we need to know. He gives Rocky Maivia credit for smartening him up, and says that he is a new Hunter Hearst Helmsley. He says that he's been given everything he wanted, and that now is the time to take what he wants, and Rocky Maivia will pay the price for it.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats Rocky Maivia by disqualification when Goldust shows up and attacks Helmsley right after Helmsley hits The Pedigree on Rocky. Goldust clears the ring, but runs right into Chyna when he turns around. Goldust rears back, but Marlena runs into the ring and jumps on Chyna's back. Officials get both women separated, and a strap on Marlena's dress breaks in the fracas.

Before the next match, Faarooq says it's one thing to wrestle "dead men like The Undertaker, colored boys like Ahmed Johnson and white boys like ["The Heartbreak Kid"] Shawn Michaels," but he draws the line at Goldust, whom he calls "a damn fairy." Goldust takes offense to that and goes right after Faarooq as he tries to leave, starting their match.
Faarooq beats Goldust when Crush shoves Goldust's foot off the bottom rope during the pinfall.
Dok Hendrix interviews Sycho Sid in the ring. He says Bret "The Hit Man" Hart may be the Excellence of Execution, but he will beat him eight days out of the week, including twice on Saturday. He then focuses on The Undertaker, saying he smelled fear when 'Taker spoke to him, his words stuttering and his eyes going in and out of focus. He says that 'Taker fears he cannot measure up to him, and that 'Taker will rest in peace after WrestleMania 13 as he is the master and the ruler of the world in the game they play.
Before the next match, The Undertaker tells Sycho Sid not to take Bret "The Hit Man" Hart lightly, as he can take any man out. If that happens, he will not get his chance at the WWF Championship. He has heard Sid's words, and that he is showing fear as he stuttered on them. Should Sid make it to WrestleMania 13, he will lose the fight in a battle that he cannot win, and he will rest in peace.

Dean Malenko beats Eddie Guerrero in a no-disqualification match to win the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. During the match, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Nash) and Syxx are kneeling behind someone that they have just attacked, and it is quickly confirmed that the man lying prone is Rick Steiner. Later on in the match, Rick Steiner is placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital on an ambulance. Near the end, Syxx shows up with his video camera to steal the United States Heavyweight Champiosnhip, but Eddie catches him and stops him by dodging his video camera and takes the belt away from him. Eddie tries to use the belt as a weapon, but Malenko smacks Eddie with the video camera and gets the win.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund announces that a WCW Superstar is gone, and that we can find out who it is and why on the WCW Hotline. He then interviews "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, who says that every day of his life is uncensored, and today is no different. He has to go through eight other men to get "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan in a cage, but he's going through it because he lives metal, he eats metal and he's got metal in his hip. He says that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson are both gone, as is Rick Steiner. Jeff Jarrett, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Debra McMichael and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit show up, and say that they are backing up Piper. Jarrett says that Dennis Rodman, Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are the marked men, and promise to work together as a unit to back him up. Mongo says he remembers Lex Luger letting him down at War Games, and remembers Hall and Nash hitting hitting him with the spray paint can and branding him, and says he's going to show Chicago who the real icon is. Piper then looks at Benoit and says that Benoit supposedly has veins of cice, but he needs someone who is warmed up and ready for fightin' and bitin' and showing a little razzmatazz. Benoit says there's only one reason Piper became an icon: he made the right decisions. Piper says he can't trust him, and if they're rebels, he likes them. He flips the camera off while trying to put the four fingers up.
Mike Tenay guest on commentary for the next match.
The Ultimate Dragon beats Psychosis.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund plugs the WCW Hotline again, then interviews Diamond Dallas Page. Page says the fans know his name, even if "Macho Man" Randy Savage doesn't. He is here for one reason: to acknowledge the fact that ever since Savage knocked him out from behind, he has refused to even acknowledge his existence. He tells "Macho Man" is he's enough of a savage, htells Savage to snap into a Diamond Cutter. Savage finally shows up with Miss Elizabeth at the commentary table, and apologizes for misjudging him, saying that DDP is cool and that he has respect for him. Savage talks about how he and Elizabeth went through the airport and picked up a magazine of celebrity Playboy nudes, and reveals that his wife Kimberly is the centerfold in the magazine. We see the centerfold with "nWo" covering the naughty bits, and we then see a distraught Kimberly - whom we have not seen in some time - with "nWo" spray painted all over her. When Page tends to her, Savage lays out Page from behind with the spray paint can and spray paints "nWo" on his back as repeatedly tells DDP he is the man. Savage then says he will piledrive Page, and Kimberly lays down on DDP to protect him. Savage and Elizabeth spray paint Kimberly's back, and Elizabeth tells Kimberly should be thrilled as the nWo loves her. Savage insists that DDP is the man and that Kimberly likes him a lot before he and Elizabeth leave.
Glacier beats Mortis when James Vanderburg's attempt to hold Glacier down so Mortis can kick Glacier's head off backfires when Glacier rolls out of the way. Mortis attacks Glacier from behind, then Vandenberg calls out a second man to attack Glacier. The second man takes his mask off, pushes the referee out of the way, gets in the ring and easily lays waste to Glacier. We then find out that this man is none other than former WWF Superstar Adam Bomb.

Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) beat Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) after Jeff Jarrett and Steve "Mongo" McMichael - Public Enemy's original opponents before they got involved in the main event - show up and Mongo hits Rocco Rock in the back with the steel Halliburton briefcase.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Scott Steiner, The Giant and Lex Luger. Scott Steiner says that tonight is the first time he has seen his brother Rick Steiner laid out like he was, but he knows his brother and knows that he will be back. He tells the New World Order that they've given him more reason to kick their butts tonight. He tells "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and The Four Horsemen to stay out of his way as he is on a mission. The Giant says it's time for a giant to do a little spring cleaning and clean house in WCW. He knows Rick Steiner well, and says that New World Order will be suplexed, racked and choke slammed left and right. Luger says this is more than just a wrestling match; this is society and anti-establishment trashed spewed by the nWo, as the nWo have trashed them in different ways. He says that the nWo has no honor as honor and tradition are on the line, and that adversity has brought the three of them together. They have never been more prepared for a wrestling match in their careers, and that words are done and that actions much happen.
Mike Tenay guests on commentary for the next match.

During the match, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is eliminated when Dennis Rodman pulls the top rope down. Hogan pins Luger after the previously-eliminated Savage gets in the ring as the referee is distracted by an eliminated Kevin Nash to spray paint into Luger's eyes. Hogan is the last man standing, and as per match stipulations, the New World Order can vie for any WCW championship anytime and anywhere. Dennis Rodman slaps a downed Luger after the match. Sting rappels down from the rafters after the match, and when The New World Order gets in the ring, Sting attacks them all with the bat and lays them out, revealing that he is not a member of the nWo after all. Hogan tells Sting to put the bat down, and Sting does just that as he dares Sting to get in the ring. Hogan gets in the ring, but he fares no better than his nWo compatriots as the show comes to an end.

The team of Doug Furnas and Philip LaFon and The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) wrestle to a double count-out. Referees have to pull both teams apart after the match.
Owen Hart and The British Bulldog show up. Owen says a lot of people have been talking about his match with The Bulldog for the European Championship. He admits that Bulldog beat him for the title fair and square, and says he could have beaten him to win the title if he wanted to. He tells Bulldog they have to focus on the future and their WWF tag team title match against Mankind and Vader, who don't have what they have in the form of teamwork. Owen says Mankind is unpredictable and that Vader is a mountain of a man, but they don't have what they have. Bulldog says he beat Owen fair and square, and the people know it. He says there is no animosity between himself and Owen, and that they are the best tag team champs going to day. They don't care about Mankind or Vader, as they will beat them, and admits they can't make them look any uglier than they already are. Bulldog promises he and Owen will walk out with the tag titles at WrestleMania 13.

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.

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.
Sycho Sid shows up to start tonight's show in an interview conducted by Jim Ross. Sid is reluctant to join forces with The Undertaker, as he thinks that something suspicious is going on and that there is a trap involving The Undertaker, Paul Bearer, Mankind and Vader. He tells 'Taker he will become yet another victory as WWF Champion, and tells him to stay in the cemetery as that where he will put him "once and for good" at WrestleMania 13. The Undertaker shows up and tells Sid that if he's scared, he should say he's scared. He tells Sid his logic doesn't make any sense, because if anything happens to him tonight, he doesn't get to bring the belt back home to the creatures. If something happens to him, that leaves Sid the WWF Champion. He then declines to be Sid's partner tonight, and elects to handle Mankind and Vader himself. He tells Sid to enjoy his last few days as WWF Champion and relax, because he doesn't need a plot to beat Sid and that Sid will rest in peace after WrestleMania 13. All of a sudden, Paul Bearer appears with Mankind and Vader, and says that both Sid and 'Taker have felt the wrath of Mankind and Vader and that they are both cowards. Mankind and Vader fight both Sid and 'Taker, and Sid and 'Taker then stare each other down after a misunderstanding when 'Taker thinks Sid has hit him during the brouhaha.
Before Rocky Maivia faces Tony Roy, The Sultan shows up with The Iron Sheik and Bob Backlund, who are holding an announcer hostage. The Iron Sheik and Bob Backlund tell Rocky Maivia that The Sultan will take the Intercontinental title from him at WrestleMania 13. Backlund continues to yell into the microphone throughout the match.
Rocky Maivia beats Tony Roy. After the match, The Sultan rushes into the ring and brawls with Maivia, and Maivia comes out on top.

Suddenly, Rocky Maivia sees Tony Atlas, his father's former tag team partner, and they shake hands before they both head to the back.
Heavy Metal, Pentagon and Pierroth beat Octagon, Latin Lover and Hector Garza. During the match, the "Bionic Woman" who challenged Bret "The Hit Man" Hart last week is seen being escorted out of the arena by security, with the crowd chanting "Let her stay!" as she is carried out of the stands. Also, Brian Pillman, who has not been seen on WWF programming in months, says he's ready for action and that he'll be ready on this weekend's Shotgun Saturday Night to do and say whatever he wants. It is also announced that Hunter Hearst Helmsley, who is scheduled for an interview, has left the building.
Ahmed Johnson beats Roy Raymond. It is not long after the match begins, however, that The Nation of Domination show up and make their presence known in an attempt to distract Ahmed. It doesn't work, and Ahmed hits the Pearl River Plunge on Raymond to send a message to Faarooq. After the match, Faarooq tells Ahmed he still does not know what the streets are like, and that his people will let him down once again at WrestleMania 13 and that he will show up alone. Ahmed says he's not scared, as none of his people have ever scared him. Ahmed tells Faarooq he has a gift for him: the two baddest, meanest men he could find - The Road Warriors (Animal and Hawk), who head to the ring from the crowd after Ahmed says he will bring the whole city of Chicago with him. Hawk says they're ready, and tells The Nation of Domination that when they get down with them, they will look like a sweaty, fly-covered pile of raw sweatsocks. Animal tells the Nation to take heed of the power of the WWF fans, and that they will beat them in a six-man war at WrestleMania 13. Ahmed says that everyone in The Nation - including "the black boys" - are turning white because they're scared as they know they're going down.
Jim Ross congratulates The British Bulldog and Owen Hart for putting up a great fight for the new European title. Owen Hart is more focused on The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw), and tells Jim Ross to stop stirring up trouble when he asks Owen if he is jealous of The Bulldog. When the Blackjacks show up, they mock Owen and Bulldog, and says that they would be tag champs if the titles were on the line. When Bradshaw implies that Owen is kissing up to The Bulldog, Owen goes after him, starting their match.
The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) beat Owen Hart and The British Bulldog by disqualification when The British Bulldog refuses to leave the ring as Owen Hart has the Sharpshooter cinched in. During the match, Vader says that at WrestleMania 13, Owen Hart and The British Bulldog aren't good enough, strong enough or bad enough to retain the tag titles against him. He feels no pain, and Mankind loves receiving pain and much as he loves giving it. He says Owen and Bulldog will be playing the pain game when it becomes Vader Time at WrestleMania 13. Also, a Sable sighting you will not believing as well as some recruiting news as well as the usual Ross Report on Option 6 will be on the WWF Superstar Line. Tazz tells Vince McMahon that if he wants to hire a joke-teller to sit next to him and make wisecracks, that's his business. Paul E. Dangerously, on the other hand, hires extreme athletes like himself, and warns Jerry "The King" Lawler that if he makes one more wisecrack about him, he'll give him the opportunity to say it to his face.
Tazz and Bill Alfonso show up, with Tazz wanting a piece of Jerry "The King" Lalwer. Lawler goes at it with Tazz, and Sabu shows up to hit Lawler with a tope con suicide off a steel chair only to crash right into the table with the ring bell on it. Tazz has to be held back by some ECW wrestlers as others from the ECW fold - including Paul E. Dangerously - check on Sabu. Leif Cassidy shows up for his match as the ECW guys carry Sabu to the back.
Miguel Perez beats Leif Cassidy with a victory roll in his Raw debut. During the match, Paul E. Dangerously says he'll constrain his guys while Vince McMahon constrians "his comedian" Jerry "The King" Lawler. He says that the time for inter-promotional cooperation is over, and Dangerously tells Lawler to bring his friends while he brings his, because if Lawler gets out of line just once during their debate, his friends will show him up close how extreme they can be.
Sycho Sid says he doesn't react, he reacts reaction. This week, he has the tag team match against Mankind and Vader, and next week he gets Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in a steel cage match. After that, he faces The Undertaker and keeps right on going.
Ken Shamrock is in the back...
The intro replays, signifying the start of the second hour.
Jim Ross welcomes Ken Shamrock to the WWF. It has been confirmed that Shamrock will be the special guest referee for Bret "The Hit Man" Hart vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a submission match at WrestleMania 13. JR asks what kind of official Shamrock will be. Shamrock thanks the fans and says that it is an honor to be a part of WrestleMania 13 and be the special guest referee for this match. He says that he will be a fair referee regardless of whether the competitors like it or not, and that he will not be intimidated. Suddenly, Austin is seen on the brand-new TitanTron, telling him to shut up and consider it an honor that he doesn't stomp his guts in right now. He says it's a load of B.S. that Bret Hart gets all the title shots out of nowhere and that he has received another title shot before WrestleMania. Austin hopes Hart wins the WWF Championship so the WWF Championship will be on the line in their match, and says that even Shamrock knows that the WWF Championship should be around his waist. He tells Hart he can come in the ring with the Sharpshooter, but he's never given up on anything in his life and that he won't start at WrestleMania, as his time has come. He says he would rather knock Shamrock's lights out after he makes Bret Hart quit. Shamrock says he's not here to fight, but if Austin wants to go at it with him, he's not going anywhere. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up, interrupting Austin's appearance on the TitanTron, and steps into the ring. Hart says it was a great feeling to win the WWF title for a fourth time, but he had it ripped off the following night, and it seems to him that nobody in the WWF is doing too much about it. He doesn't care if anyone is saying that he's "crying again," but he has had it with the lack of justice. He has announced that WWF President Gorilla Monsoon has given him a little credit, and has given him a steel cage match against Sycho Sid for the WWF Championship next Monday night, and says that people can believe what they want to believe, but says Sycho Sid isn't as good and was never good as him and that he will win the WWF Championship for a fifth time next week. He also says he feels sorry for The Undertaker as he's got his hopes up, but says Austin will get his title shot at WrestleMania. He then says there is nobody in the WWF that knows submission wrestling better than he does, and tells Austin to bring everything he's got because nobody wants that fight more than him and that he will give him a title shot. He tells Austin he will be sorry he ever crossed his path. Hart then says everyone from "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels to Sycho Sid to Austin to the referees to Gorilla Monsoon to Vince McMahon have all screwed him over. As for Shamrock, he likes him and he is cool with him, as he knows his reputation, but makes it clear that he's been screwed by everybody and if Shamrock does the same, it will be a big mistake. Shamrock tells Hart there's only one thing to know about him: he's not a marriage counselor and that he's not here to hear about his problem. He is a referee, and that's what he came here to do. Austin finally shows up on the entrance ramp, flipping Hart the bird on both hands before leaving.
The Honky Tonk Man shows up before the next match, and says it's been a while since he played Worcester, Massachusetts, and that he didn't get the reception he needed the last time he was here, and is therefore not singing and dancing for them. Honky then guests on commentary for the next match as well as the rest of the show.
Billy Gunn, now back from injury, beats "The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya. It is announced that Hunter Hearst Helmsley has returned to the arena, and is now available for an interview once again. Also, Sunny is in the back, announcing her new segment on Shotgun Saturday Night called "Undercover With Sunny," which covers the hottest gossip going in the WWF.
Mankind tells Paul Bearer he has a much better grasp of reality than people think, and realizes he doesn't need urns and he doesn't need his mother. He says that the World Wrestling Federation wants people to believe he crawled out of a boiler room, and that he has prepared for his entire life for this moment and that he has the scars to prove it. As the WWF makes a big deal out of Sycho Sid and The Undertaker, he and Vader are a team. He tells The Undertaker he knows him well, and tells Sycho Sid that he will know him well soon. The show cuts to a commercial break before Mankind is finished speaking.
Goldust beats Tim McNeany. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is spotted early in the match watching the match from the entrance ramp, and the "Bionic Woman" is back and standing at Hunter's side. Hunter leaves, and the "Bionic Woman" continues to watch the rest of the match from a distance. After the match, she disrobes, and we find out just how muscular she is. Goldust brings Marlena to the ring as this woman approaches, and it proves to be a set-up as Hunter Hearst Helmsley attacks Goldust from behind from the top rope. Hunter and the mystery woman attack Goldust, and Marlena leaps on top of the "Bionic Woman" and tries to choke her out. Both women have to be separated by officials, and the "Bionic Woman" overpowers officials to get back at Marlena. Marlena punches her in the face, and the two women try to go at it once again. The "Bionic Woman" throws an official (who happens to be Harvey Wippleman, of all people) into two others, showcasing her formidable strength, before leaving the ring with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
It is time for "The Great Debate" between Jerry "The King" Lawler and Paul E. Dangerously. When asked if Extreme Championship Wrestling should even exist, Lawler (who won the coin toss to dictate who speaks first) says the real question is whether or not ECW does exist, as ECW is getting more exposure now than he has ever been seen by in his entire life, as his promotion is "a bunch of misfits, thugs and has-beens that couldn't catch on with any legitimate organization." The Eliminators (John Kronus and Perry Saturn) show up as if on stand-by to beat up Lawler. Lawler says they all migrated to Philadelphia and decided to beat each other with extreme weapons so people could see them. Lawler makes fun of the show that takes place in a bingo hall once a month, and when the WWF goes to Pittsburgh, they put 22,000 people in seats as opposed to ECW's 1,100 people. Paul E. tells Lawler to shut up as Lawler keeps talking, and tells Lawler that the 22,000 people that WWF puts in seats are not a testament to anything that Lawler has done in his life, and the fact that they've earned the respect of their 1,100 by putting their bodies on the lines to give them their money's worth. The Sandman, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Beulah McGillicutty show up as Paul Heyman says that this has allowed them their first national pay-per-view in Barely Legal on April 13th. The Sandman wants to cane Lawler, but Paul E. tells him not to do it just yet. Lawler tells Paul E. he should be thanking his lucky stars that WWF is allowing him to even plug his pay-per-view event, even though he will never know why Vince McMahon is allowing him to. At this point, Lawler says he is "shooting" with Paul E. when Paul E. asks if he is "shooting" with him, and Paul E. tells Lawler that his own son don't call themselves "Lawler" as they are "ashamed of his ass," while saying that Extreme Championship Wrestling has earned everything that it has gotten and that they have given the people their money's worth. Lawler calls Paul E. "a 35-year-old loser who still lives in his mother's basement," and that if it weren't for his "mom and dad who finance this bunch of crap," he wouldn't be anything. He says Paul E. is not an athlete, and if he wants to "shoot" with him, then why is he hanging around the guys in ECW. He hangs around them because they want to give people their money's worth, be on pay-per-view and be extreme. Paul E. calls ECW "the Howard Stern of wrestling," and that they're hardcore and proud of it. Dreamer tells Lawler that if he wants to start a war, then he should get every one of his guys and he can show him how to start a war right now. The podium falls apart as Dreamer leans into it. Sandman chugs beer and pusts the can on his forehead and Paul E. has to hold Dreamer back. Lawler brings out "his friends" as Sandman lies in wait. Heyman gives Lawler two free punches on whoever he wants, but when Lawler's "friends" don't show up, Paul E. tells Lawler "Get your ass out of the ring, or we'll get it out for you." Heyman and Lawler continue to argue as the show cuts to a commercial break.
Mankind and Vader beat Sycho Sid and The Undertaker after Sid and 'Taker refuse to get along for the match. After the match, Sycho Sid stops Vader's Vader Bomb on 'Taker cold, and 'Taker knocks Vader out of the ring before going after Sycho Sid in the back.
Bret "The Hit Man" Hart says next week, he and Sid will decide who the real king of the WWF is.

The Dungeon of Doom (Konnan and Hugh Morrus) beat The Four Horsemen (Jeff Jarrett and Steve "Mongo" McMichael) when Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) show up and try to take the steel Halliburton briefcase from Debra McMichael. Jarrett fights them off, but when he grabs the briefcase, he accidentally whacks Mongo in the forehead with it, allowing Konnan the pinfall. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson show up to see what's going on, and "Mean" Gene Okerlund also joins them for an interview. Anderson wants an explanation from Jarrett, and he soon gets the ire of Flair and Mongo as he says the loss was an accident. Debra says that The Horsemen need to pull together, as she does not want to be on a losing team. Jarrett says that he will prove that The Four Horsemen are still on top and will continue to do so with him as a member.
Diamond Dallas Page beats Rick Fuller. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Page after the match, who says the crowd knows who the real deal is. He says "Macho Man" Randy Savage snapped, and if Savage if that much of a savage, he can snap into a Diamond Cutter.
Juventud Guerrera beats Ray Mendoza, Jr.
Jimmy Hart, The Taskmaster and Jacqueline invade the commentary table. Jimmy Hart says that he, The Taskmaster and Jacqueline made good on their prediction at SuperBrawl VII. Jacqueline says The Omni at Atlanta, Georgia is her house, as she boasts she can beat anybody, man or woman, with the only exception being The Taskmaster. The Taskmaster tells "The Crippler" Chris Benoit that he'll never be the man he was once or the man he is today as he and Jacqueline are too legit to quit.
Baseball legend Hank Aaron and is seen in the crowd.
Dean Malenko beats Mike Enos with an small package. After the match, Malenko grabs the microphone and says he hopes Eddie Guerrero was paying attention, as this is what the new and improved Malenko is about. He is a great wrestler and mat technician, but the thing he will be best at is running through Eddie Guerrero and anybody who gets in his way. He tells Guerrero he got a taste of what he can do, and he can't wait to kick him all over the ring.
This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Lex Luger! Diamond Dallas Page! Prince Iaukea! "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan!
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Eric Bischoff at the entrance ramp. Bischoff thanks Lex Luger for the challenge, and says the New World Order would be more than happy to put the gold up against WCW's future at Uncensored. If it wasn't for him and the New World Order, the people wouldn't be here, and they owe him a debt of gratitude. As he speaks, Dr. Harvey Schiller shows up from behind, and tells him they need to talk. Harvey Schiller tells him that just because he has a contract and is executive vice-president, he is not in total control of World Championship Wrestling and cannot fire referees anytime he wants or take titles anyway from anybody at will. Schiller immediately suspends Bischoff, and that he has no financial responsibilities and can sign no more contract, and doesn't even want to know that he's answering a telephone or that there is any truth to the rumor that he was "in a men's room at a WCW event." Bischoff chases Schiller to the back.
Eddie Guerrero retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against The Ultimate Dragon despite The Ultimate Dragon being caught up in the ropes. "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Guerrero after the match, and Guerrero tells Dean Malenko that his intentions were good, but the situation turned out sour. He's tried to apologize and explain the situation, but nothing has worked, and he is sick and tired of Malenko not accepting his apology or blaming him for his attitude. Malenko shows up, and says he refuses to give the audience a "snow job" about himself, and tells Guerrero he lost his respect. Okerlund gets out of dodge as both men continue to argue.
Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.
Scotty Riggs beats Michael Wallstreet after Buff Bagwell interferes. He and Wallstreet attack Riggs, but Riggs comes back with a chair and forces Bagwell to flee the ring. after During the match, it is mentioned that Dr. Harvey Schiller and the WCW Executive Committee are reviewing contracts that Eric Bischoff has handled. The match between World Championship Wrestling and The New World Order will take place at Uncensored as planned, and that the Executive Committee has asked "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to come back and set up a five-man team for that match. After the match, it is announced that Piper is in the building.
Lee Marshall calls from Panama City, Florida - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper shows up. He says that one problem "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan doesn't have is insomnia, as "two times we meet, two times he sleeps." He makes fun of The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall), and calls the fans his second family. He confirms what he said in Irish Gaelic when he was put in an ambulance back in December, then changes the focus of the conversation to the WCW/nWo battle at Uncensored, and says that he will let the fans decide who will be his third family - his tag team partners at Uncensored - by giving them the thumbs up or the thumbs down. He reveals his "I.C.O.N." shirt (which Piper is short for "I cower over nothing") then tells the hopefuls to come on down for their tryouts. An unknown guy in blue jeans and boots takes on Piper, but Piper runs roughshod over him and he gets the thumbs down. (The first man is played by Lorenzo, who is infamous for running out of wrestling after a match with Fit Finley back when Finley was still The Belfast Bruiser.) After they shake hands and leave, another guy in denim shorts show up and eggs Piper on, but Piper puts the sleeper on him. Not surprisingly, the second guy gets the thumbs down from the crowd, as well. (The second man is played by WCW Power Plant trainee Horshu, who would later become Luther Reigns in WWE.) A third man in blue jeans shows up, but he is attacked by a man in red trunks and boxing gloves. (The third man is WCW Power Plant trainee Dave Tolbert.) Piper has boxing gloves of his own, and puts them on as the other guy dances around. The boxer puts quite a fight and proves to be quite tenacious, and it ends in a stalemate. He gets the thumbs down from the crowd, but Piper gives him a thumbs up personally, then tells the crowd they're being a little too harsh and that they might as well do it one more time. This time around, the boxing gloves come off and go at it bare-fisted for a little while, then the boxer leaves. (The boxer is played by Craig Malley, a stunt coordinator that Piper met on the set of the movie Immortal Combat, also known as Resort to Kill.) All of a sudden, another guy, this time a martial artist, takes on Piper. He gets the seal of approval from Piper. (The martial artist is Layton Morrison, a karate expert and film stunt coordinator with a film credit in The Boondock Saints.) All of a sudden, John Tenta shows up in WCW for the first time in months. Tenta takes him on, and the martial artist and the boxer fight Tenta. Tenta become the third member, and Piper says he has created "The Family." He tells Hogan that if he wants a way, he's got one, and that nWo will soon stand for "No Way Out."
We hear pre-recorded comments from Prince Iaukea. Prince Iaukea states that while growing up on the island, he never thought he'd make it to World Championship Wrestling. Now he's here, and he's won the World Television title. He says there is a lot of controversy over his first two wins - especially against Rey Mysterio, Jr. at SuperBrawl VII - and tells Rey Mysterio, Jr. that he's given him another shot at the title at Uncensored.
Rey Mysterio, Jr. beats Mr. J.L.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Madusa, who says that she has been with WCW for more than a year and has sat dormant because Eric Bischoff was more interested in himself and the New World Order than herself, and that Bischoff should have been fired. Madusa goes on to say that she will beat Akira Hokuta for the WCW Women's Championship, and yet she sees Luna Vachon saying she's number one contender. The commentary table is just as confused as the fans when Luna Vachon suddenly rushes out from backstage and attacks Madusa from behind, making for an interesting debut.
The New World Order - even Eric Bischoff - shows up with the real Sting. Sting hangs out in the very back, and walks slowly to stay there. When he gets in the ring, he stays in the corner. Bischoff says Dr. Harvey Schiller can't fire him, and he knows it, as he's "friends with Ted." "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan says Bischoff not has a personal relationship with Ted Turner, but they're in business negotiations with The New World Order. He tells Schiller to take a hike and that he is out of his league when it comes to business practices. Hogan then states that whoever "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has for a team, his team is better. "Macho Man" Randy Savage tells Bischoff he has protection, and tells Piper that he needs a psychiatrist really badly, as Piper is no icon after Hogan "beat him twice." As for Uncensored, Hogan decides he will just turn The New World Order loose that night, and says that Sting will sting everyone on Piper's team while putting the rest of the New World Order on a pedestal. He says that when you go nWo, you go nWo for life. Kevin Nash says the nWo squad is too sweet, then Hogan poses for the crowd.
THe Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) vs. Lex Luger and The Giant comes to an end thanks to the New World Order. During the match, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sting show up in the crowd and make their way to the ring. Piper shows up with "The Family," and both groups of men keep The New World Order at bay until the end of the show. Sting stands back and watches this play out.
Before the opening match, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart says he has no choice but to stay focused in his match against Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and he says that Helmsley will be sorry he was in the ring with him tonight, as he hopes that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is watching from home as he will do to him what he will do to Helmsley tonight. Also, a Bret Hart teddy beat is thrown into the ring, and Helmsley kicks it into the audience. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen walking into the WWF Studios in Stamford, Connecticut.

Dangerously is interviewed via telephone. He thanks Vince for letting him showcase his talent before he scoffs at Lawler's opinion, saying that it is amazing that he would speak for all the wrestlers when his employer won't buy him a ticket to Berlin, Germany. He says that the next time Lawler challenges them, it may not be just at Raw, but it may also be at Madison Square Garden or in Philadephia, Pennsylvania.
