Nitro comes on the air with footage of Hollywood Hogan screwing Goldberg of his World Title.  We then go to the arena when suddenly Voodoo Child plays as Hollywood comes to the ring. Hogan:  Shut the hell all you inbreed jackasses.  You are all probably wondering why Hollywood why?  Well that's simple.  Does everyone remember July Ninth Two Thousand?  Do you?  That was Bash at the Beach, the day that Vince Russo screwed Hollywood.  And Jeff Jarrett was involved, so why bring it up and why help Jeff?  Well that's because it wasn't Jeff's idea.  He knew that I was right and should have won, but Russo didn't agree.  Well we all know where Russo is now right?  You don't?  Well neither does he!  Allow me to introduce to you the man that I picked to become the first WCW Champion under my reign, JEFF JARRETT! Jeff Jarrett comes out to a chorus of boo's.  He comes up and shakes hands with the Commish Hollywood. Jarrett:  Thank you Mr. Hogan.  Now all you people shut up.  You know I came to WCW with Vince Russo not because I liked that jackass, but because he promised me the title.  Now he didn't tell me that I would have to screw a legend like Mr. Hogan.  I am sorry again Mr. Hogan.  But what Vince Russo didn't know is that we had a plan.  We were planning screwing Russo at Starrcade weren't we Hollywood. Hogan:  That's right Jeff, and don't worry about it Jeff, the reason I picked you as my champion is because I knew that you are an honorable man.  Suddenly Nitro's music plays.  A man in a suit walks out.  Hogan and Jarrett both look confused. Hogan:  Who the hell are you? Man:  Mr. Hogan, please allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Gene Bennett.  I have been sent here by Time-Warner to fix WCW.  Hogan:  What do you mean fix? Man:  I mean to stop stuff from happening like when you screwed Bill Goldberg.  So tonight we will see a rematch of Bill Goldberg and Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett gets pissed and tries to leave the ring, but Hogan stops him. Hogan:  Gene, if you want the match Goldberg has to do something tonight, but mind you it will be a big risk.  Gene:  How big? Hogan:  Simple, Goldberg will face US Champion Mikey Whipwreck.  If he wins he gets the US Title and a match with Jarrett.  However, if he loses he leaves WCW.  Its your call Geno. Gene:  I can't make that discussion, I can't risk the man's career. Goldberg's music suddenly hits.  He walks out and Gene hands him the mic. Goldberg:  Hogan, you got your match.  And tonight, after I am done with Whipwreck, Hogan, YOUR NEXT!! We go to break with Goldberg leaving and Hogan laughing. After the break we see Just Joe awaiting Rikishi. Rikishi pinned Just Joe with the Banzai Drop in 0:01:51.

Awesome:  Tanaka, this is on your head you son of a bitch! With that Awesome picked up Alex Wright and hit an Awesome Bomb that landed on both Joe and Rikishi.  We go to break with EMT's looking on the four men. After the break we see Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay behind the announce table. Tony:  What a show so far, we hear that Jeff Jarrett and Hollywood were planning on screwing Vince Russo at the show last night, only Russo isn't here so it was Goldberg that took it. Mike:  We also see Time-Warner send in a young man to 'clean up' WCW, only he got Goldberg into a retirement match.  And we saw Mike Awesome go into another rage.  Tony, what else will we see tonight? Tony:  Mike, this is Nitro, who knows.  What I do know is that the TV Champion Gangrel will defend against The Foreign Connection's own Fit Finlay.  Kronik will face Lo Down and of course the US Title match that Goldberg accepted from Hollywood.  What a show we have, lets get to the ring. We hear Staying Alive as the Full Blooded Italians come to the ring.  Then we hear sirens play as Scott Steiner and Rhino come out on the ramp way. Steiner:  YOU TWO ABSOLUTELY SUCK!!  All you had to do is win one match and you couldn't do that. Mamaluke:  Hold it right there Steiner, you were the first man pinned in your match last night, so how about you shut up! Steiner:  Boy, for that I am going to bring this monster Rhino to the ring and we are going to kill you two! Rhino and Steiner charge the ring and the match begins. The F.B.I defeated Scott Steiner and Rhino when L. Guido pinned Rhino after the Spiked Kiss of Death in 0:09:08.

After the break we go to Mean Gene with Chris Kanyon. Gene:  Chris Kanyon, you just mad a grave mistake in my opinion.   Kanyon:  Mean Gene, you are wrong.  I am going to teach him about respect.  He thinks he can go around here telling everyone what to do and stalking peoples family.  We don't even have any idea what he has done with Sting's family.  Hell my family could be next.  So Undertaker, you get in the ring with me and you will FEEL THE BANG!! Gene:  Tony, back to you. Tony:  Thanks Gene, Mike, what about what Kanyon just said? Mike:  I don't know, but someone has to stop the Undertaker.  Wait a minute, what is Spike Dudley's music playing for? We see Spike Dudley come to the ring.  He grabs the mic. Spike:  Mike Awesome, last night it was security.  Tonight it was Just Joe and Rikishi.  Now I don't like either one, but this has to stop.  Now get your ass in the ring so I can stop it!

Awesome:  Tanaka, I warned you.  Now I already sent four men to the hospital, and I didn't hear anything from you.  So now I send one to the graveyard.  You have two choices, get out here or watch this boy die! Awesome waits a minute and then climbs the turnbuckle.  He picks him up on his shoulder and drops him through the tables.  Security rushes the ring with EMT's in tow.  We then see Hollywood Hogan come out.  He puts his are around Mike, whispers in his ear and they leave together.

Sting:  Don't give me that crap.  You just tell me where my damn family is. Minister:  Hey now, watch it.  Don't get pushy.  Before you see them, you are going to have to do a few things for me and The Master. Sting:  I don't give a damn what Mark wants.  I just want my family back and for them to be safe. Minister:  I am not talking about this Mark guy.  I am talking about The Undertaker. Sting:  Undertaker, Mark, same guy. Minister:  You are wrong there Steve, you are wrong.  Mark is dead, has been for over ten years.  The Undertaker is the one that is in charge, and of you now too. Sting:  Fine, I will do what he wants, but if there is one hair hurt on her head, Minister:  Just come with me Steve. Back at the arena. Tony:  These guys are sick.
