WCW's Final Year

WWF Raw Show starts immediately with the opening theme, package and pyro, live from the Raleigh Entertainment & Sports Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. J.R. and the King welcome us to the show before Kurt's music hits and out he comes, wasting no time getting on the mic. He says the question on everyone's mind is "Why Kurt, why set aside your quest for championship gold and concentrate on Big Show?" He says the answer is simple: The Big Show is a big ass, he doesn't like or appreciate big asses, which he uses to segway into his opponent for tonight, Rikishi. He says if maybe if Rikishi's parents would've practiced abstinence we wouldn't be exposed to that awful, repulsive rectum that he carries with him today, it's true, it's true. He hands the mic to Lilian as Rikishi makes his way out. Kurt Angle vs Rikishi Pre-Match Notes & Thoughts ; J.R. informs us X-Pac isn't there tonight due to a death in the family. Kurt wastes no time...

WCW Nitro Our opening package gives us a brief recap of last week's Nitro, ending with that bizarre cliffhanger of Bret with a chair, and we go to our opening video... Or not, because we cut to Vampiro and Sting fighting in the back, live from the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York.Sting thrown through a door as Vamp lays in with kicks and punches, only to be thrown into walls and equipment cases, then a ladder and some random pipes lying around. Sting starts to walk away through a curtain but Vamp cracks him in the back with a pipe. It was a fairly decent brawl but they just cut it short there. We go out to the arena where Mark Madden, Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone welcome us to the show on commentary. Tony tells us we'll see exclusive footage of what happened after Nitro went off the air last week as we start the show with a match.
