Nitro comes on the air with footage of the World Wrestling Federation invading Thunder.  We then go to the announce table and a shot of Scott Hudson.

Hudson:  Welcome to Nitro everyone.  Tonight is the biggest night EVER in this business.  First allow me to introduce you to my newest partner, the greatest announcer of all time, Good Ol' JR himself Jim Ross. 

JR:  Scott it is great to be here.  Tonight we have matches involving stars from all three companies.  Including six title matches.

JR:  Also Kid Kash, Scotty Taylor, Chris Jericho, Bill DeMott, Tazz, Shawn Michaels and more in action.

Hudson:  Lets just get to the ring.  Tank Abbott is already in the ring and here comes the legendary Jake Roberts.

In a match that fans just didn't care about and could really cared less about Jake Roberts picked up the win.  Abbott went for his big right but Jake ducked, kicked Tank in the gut and hit the DDT for the win.

Hudson:  We are getting word that we are going to have a huge announcement here tonight.  

JR:  All we are being told is that the owners of all three companies will be in the ring together tonight.  

Hudson:  This could be huge.  When you put three explosive elements like that in the ring at the same time you are just asking for an explosion. 

JR:  I see that XPW Star Kevin Nash is in the ring and here comes WCW Star Scott Norton for our next match.

Scott Norton was seconded by Rick Rude and Curt Hennig, the Minnesota Mafia, while Nash came out with the Natural Born Thrillers, Shawn Stasiak, Mike Sanders, Mark Jindrak, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo.  This match was short as the men on the outside exploded into a brawl.  During this time Scott Hall came out and hit Nash in the back with a chair setting up the win for Norton.  Officials ran out and separated the two brawling groups. 

Scott Norton pinned Kevin Nash with the Powerbomb in 0:02:42.

In our first title match Psicosis retained his XPW TV Title over the WWF's K-Kwik.  This match was a high flying match with a lot of high risk moves.  Kwik went for his 450 but Psicosis moved.  Psicosis then went for his top rope legdrop but Kwik moved.  The end came when Kwik missed a flying senton.  Psicosis went to the top and hit a flying spinning leg lariat and made the cover for the win.

Hudson:  Our next match is a rematch from Thunder.  Perry Saturn won the WCW TV Title on Thunder with some controversy. 

JR:  After a lot of interference Saturn got the win as the time limit expired.  The groggy official said Saturn won the title.  However Paul Heyman has ordered a rematch and that is next.

Disqo won his TV title back in a hard fought match.  Early on Saturn was in charge with a series of martial art blows.  Saturn got a near fall with a brainbuster.  Disqo fought back when he hit a swinging Neckbreaker.  Disqo went for the Last Dance but was distracted by Kronus, Saturn's partner.  Disqo turned around right into a superkick from Saturn.  Saturn went for the Death Valley Driver but Disqo fought out and hit a lariat that stunned Saturn.  A three count later Disqo was a TV Champion once again.  After the match however Kronus attacked DI.  DI once again got hit with Total Elimination before the Eliminators left the ring.

(Disqo won the WCW TV Title.)

Hudson:  A new WCW TV Champion as Disqo takes back the title I feel he never lost.  

JR:  While I am not a WCW fan I agree.  Just like in baseball a tie should go to the champion.  But Disqo got the title back and that is what is important. 

Hudson:  I understand right now we have an interview with the Dudley's.  Let's go to Michael Cole.

Cole:  Thanks Scott.  Buh Buh, D-Von, tonight you could restart a feud from your ECW days as tonight you face the team of Sabu and Rob Van Dam.

Buh Buh:  Would you just shut the hell up Cole.  Tonight the Dudley's prove why we are the top team in all of wrestling today.  

D-Von:  Sabu and RVD must of forgot the Dudley Commandments.  Thou shall not steal.  Thou shall not kill.  And thou shall not F-----Mess with the Dudley's. 

Cole:  Lets go to the ring.

This match was short as RVD stunned Buh Buh with a flying legdrop.  He also hooked the trunks and put his feet on the ropes.  After the match RVD was posing for the crowd and got attacked by the Dudley's.  He was given a 3D and put through a table by a superbomb from Buh Buh.

Team XPW (Rob Van Dam and Sabu) defeated The Dudley Boys when RVD pinned Buh Buh Ray after a flying legdrop in 0:01:37.

The big man Bill DeMott continues on the losing streak he has been on as of late.  Y2J worked over DeMott's back with a series of backbreakers.  Jericho then went for the Lionsault but DeMott moved.  DeMott then went to work.  DeMott hit a huge powerbomb and went to the top for his Moonsault.  Jericho however moved and then locked in the Walls of Jericho for the submission win.

Hudson:  DeMott is a big man but just can't seem to get a win as of late.

JR:  Bill is a great talent but is on a losing streak.  Perhaps a change of scene would help.  The WWF would be glad to help.

Hudson:  Everyone knows you are in charge of talent for the WWF so just watch it JR.

'NO CHANCE' plays as Vince McMahon heads toward the ring.

JR:  This must be what we heard about earlier Scott.

'THIS IS EXTREME' plays as Paul E. comes out followed by 'Space Odyssey 2001' for Ric Flair.  Then out comes a man we haven't seen for some months Gene Bennett.

Bennett:  I am sure all three of you are wondering why you have been called out here.  Well I have been watching the invasions and had an idea.  So I went to the executive boards of all three companies and we have come to the following solution.  At Starrcade, live December 30th, the three companies will merge in one major company by the name of the Global Wrestling Federation.  The main event of Starrcade will see the World Champions of all three companies face off.  Also the Tag Team Champions will face off, the TV titles from WCW and XPW will be joined with the Intercontinental.  The Lightweight and Cruiserweight titles will be joined as well. 

McMahon:  Hold it right there.  How can a companies merge?  How can those two men work under me?

Flair:  Work under you?  THERE IS NO CHANCE IN HELL I WILL WORK FOR YOU AGAIN!

Heyman:  I wouldn't work for either one of you two old pieces of sh---

Bennett:  Hold it.  I also wanted to announce another match.  To find out who will have executive control over the company it will be Vince McMahon verse Ric Flair verse a star of Paul E.'s choosing.  Since both Vince and Ric are wrestlers we found that only fair.  Thank you very much. 

The three owners watch Bennett leave as we go to break.

Kidman retained his title after he was attacked by WWF's Lightweight Champion Jyushin Lyger.  Kidman and Storm both being from XPW attacked Lyger who quickly escaped to the back.

Kurt Angle defeated the youngster Joey Matthews.  Matthews got a lot of offense in including a near fall after a flying body press.  Angle however recovered and went to work on Matthews.  Angle hit the Olympic Slam followed by a moonsault for the win.  After the match we see Disqo come out just to watch Kurt.  The two exchange words but that's all.

JR:  Looks like Disqo is doing some scouting for the end of the month at Starrcade.

Hudson:  Well that is smart on Disqo's part but he has a long time to retain that title before that match will take place.  We still have six big matches tonight including two big title matches.  Plus Spike Dudley and Shawn Michaels which should be a slobberknocker---is that right JR?

JR:  Your learning fast.  Now lets go to the ring where Kanyon is taking on Syxx.

Kanyon picked up a win over the highflying youngster Syxx.  Syxx took charge early with a series of kicks.  Syxx went for the Buzzkiller but Kanyon countered into a jawbreaker.  He then hit a powerslam for the win.

Hudson:  What in the hell was that?  Is that how the WWF is going to win titles JR.

JR:  Don't get into my face Hudson.  This is war we are at right now.  It is survival of the fittest and its not the WWF's fault that WCW and ECW aren't getting along yet.

Hudson:  Well you remember that because that might come back to bit your big old Oklahoma ass.

JR:  When we come back folks it will be Eddie Guerrero taking on Raven for the XPW World Title.

Raven and Eddie tore the ring up and showed that they are two of the top stars in the business today.  Early on Eddie used his high risk moves to keep Raven down.  Eddie got a near fall with a flying cross body and another with a springboard dropkick.  Raven came back with a drop toe hold into a chair on the floor.  Raven then went to work with a series of slams and elbows.  Raven went for the Raven Effect but Eddie countered into a northern lights for a near fall.  Eddie hit a brainbuster and went to the top for the Frog Splash but Raven moved.  Raven quickly hit the Raven Effect for the win.
