HEENAN: Yeah, Tyrant takes on Kurt Hawk for the WCW Television title and in the main event we have Mr. Creed vs. Scythe vs. Vic “the Stick” Ross for the coveted WCW World Heavyweight title.
TENAY: Plus we have Zeleos and this masked man who has been with him the past few weeks against the Sabbat, Assamite and Tzminsce in a grudge match brought on by the events at Sin.
HEENAN: Zeleos can’t leave well enough alone. He won his match at Sin but he just can’t be satisfied with that.
TENAY: My God Heenan, those two injured his knee.
HEENAN: Yeah right! You’ve seen Zeleos the past few weeks. His knee seems fine to me. Anyway the first match is about to get started.

They begin kicking him viciously when Scythe and Talon run to the ring to make the save. The nWo leaves laughing as Scythe and Talon tend to White.
TENAY: There they go again getting involved in somebody else’s match. These nWo members are nothing but bullies.
HEENAN: Saige White had it coming, Tenay. Don’t you realize when you’re nWo you’re nWo for life?

The lights go out and the eerie music hits the PA as Assamite and Tzminsce walk to the ring. They climb in and wait.

They pull Assamite and Tzminsce out as Zeleos and the masked man stand in the ring. Zeleos grabs a mic.
ZELEOS: You see boys, you two do not know the meaning of the word vicious. We didn’t care about winning this match tonight. We just wanted to beat the living hell out of you two and I guess mission accomplished. I got something else to tell you two. We ain’t done yet. You two better be watching your back every time you step foot in any arena.
As for my partner here, I guess it’s time I introduce him to you all. See, I went to Jake Wade shortly after Sin and asked for a few things. Now most everybody here knows Jake and me don’t see eye to eye about a most things. Hell, we have tried to hurt each other more times than not, but in the end Jake realized I’m good for this company and what’s good for this company is good for him so he decided to give me what I wanted. First off, I wanted you two losers in a match which as you can see he granted me. Then I asked for a partner. Now I know I could have gone and got Scythe or even your brother Tziminsce, but I wanted someone special. I wanted someone who could give a beating as good as me and there was really only one man for the job. I asked Wade to help me get him here and he did it. So without further adieu, let me introduce you all to my mystery partner and the toughest son of a bitch alive!
Suddenly the masked man rips off the mask revealing none other than the Nitro GM himself, Jake Wade. Zeleos hands him the mic and he speaks.
JAKE: Surprised huh? Hell so was I when Zeleos asked me to help him. But seeing as how he’s finally dropped this freak gimmick he had I felt I could let bygones be bygones, plus ever since I retired I been iching for another fight and who better to beat the sh#t out of than two freaks. Now I know a lot of you people are thrilled I’m in the ring again, but don’t get your hopes up. This is a one time thing only. I just had to get that rush one more time. Sorry it had to come at ya’lls expense boys, but you had it coming. Now if you don’t mind, I’m gonna go open a bottle of Jack Daniels and watch the main event. He looks at Zeleos and the two shake hands and leave the ring.
TENAY: I would have never in a million years seen that coming! Jake Wade and Zeleos on the same side of a fight can only mean the world’s coming to an end.
HEENAN: I know he’s the boss but Wade should have stayed out of this. He belongs behind the desk not in the ring.
TENAY: Fans stay tuned after this commercial break for the World title match.
The lights go out and the nWo’s theme once again hits the PA. Creed comes to the ring accompanied by Tyrant and James Pain. Creed climbs in as Pain and Tyrant take their places ringside. The music changes and we hear Scythe and the Fear Factory’s theme as they come to the ring. Scythe climbs in and he and Creed stare at each other as the nWo exchanges words with Saige White.

Just as quick Kurt and Cristos are there to make the save. Vic rolls back in as Creed and Scythe are once again trading punches. Suddenly outside the ring the fan seated ringside comes over the barrier and he and Pain are going at it. He suplexes Pain over the barrier and the two go fighting through the crowd.

Scythe goes for the cover on Vic but Kurt climbs the ropes and hits a Bird of Prey on Scythe. The ref immediately sends Kurt to the back for interfering in the match. As this is happening Vic hits a Corner Pocket Driver on Creed. He goes for the cover, but Creed gets a foot on the bottom rope. Then at the top of the ramp we see Pain and the mystery fan still trading punches. Vic kicks Scythe as he stands and drags Creed to the middle of the ring. He starts to hit another Corner Pocket Driver on Creed, but Scythe takes out his knee with a chop block. Scythe whips Vic to the ropes and catches him in a power slam. Scythe goes for another cover, but Vic kicks out at two. Creed hits another Pride Killer on Scythe. As he covers Talon grabs his leg and pulls him off.
