10 min time limit

Pre-Match: For the first time in... what feels like forever, they actually fixed their audio and you can hear Penzer doing the introductions.

Yang and Knoble start the match with a quick exchange, Knoble gets elevated to the apron, then a neckbreaker over the ropes by Yang. Noble gets caught with a headscissor, then Elix comes in and nails Yang with a spin kick. Elix sent off the ropes only to dive onto Knoble on the floor with a corkscrew crossbody.

(4:57) I don't know why this was a Four Corners match when they did away with that immediately. But this was a good opener.

Out comes Flair, flanked by Animal with a contract in hand. Flair takes a shot at the Ravens, says he'd buy the team just to kick them out of the NFL. Flair turns his attention to other things, starting with Cat. He calls Cat a detriment, says he tried to help Cat and show him the way of life for a champion, but he wouldn't play along. He says he's got a long list of people to face Cat and promises we'll have a new commissioner in no time.

Now onto Nash. He says Nash got lucky last week beating Bagwell, then at Thunder Nash and Page show up drunk which pisses him off of all people. He says this is his company and they have to show up ready to go if they wanna work there. Flair's proof is Page and Nash "laying on the job" after they were attacked in the locker room on Thunder. He's going to make sure Steiner has a worthy opponent, so he's making Nash qualify again for his title shot tonight, he just has to beat Totally Buff tonight in a handicap match, and he gets no match if there's any interference. 

Nash is seen pissed in the locker room as Flair moves onto the contract. He says he's brought another huge player, one of the big names and he's here, and all they have to do is sign the contract to be part of his WCW.

Out comes Flair with the contract. Flair reminds us this is his company and will make it the #1 wrestling company in the world, and to do that, he needs to keep bringing in big name talent, mainstream personalities, so as promised, the newest member to join his WCW, Dustin Rhodes. I vaguely remember him being around right at the start of the Russo run and getting fired or something, but for the life of me don't remember why. He unfortunately gets a very lukewarm reaction.

Flair promised Dustin he'd make him a rich man if he came to Baltimore, there's enough money in the contract to make him a made man the rest of his life. He just has to sign it and show he's on Flair's team, ready to be a mainline player. Dustin remarks how he liked the jet Flair sent him.  He looks over the contract and paces around a bit, then gets Flair to do one of his struts and says he's sizing Flair up, wondering if the contract will fit up his ass where it belongs, because Flair sucks.

They go face to face and Dustin threatens to smack his big nose off his face. Flair says Dustin'll be a dead man if he lays a hand on him. Dustin grabs hold of Flair and Flair tries to talk sense into him. Dustin finally backs off as Flair brings out Animal and they start going at it. Flair keeps trying to low blow Dustin, Dustin gets shots in, then falls down before Flair can deliver. Flair and Animal corner him and Dustin starts to fight back, knocking their heads together. 

Flair finally holds Dustin back to let Animal knock him down, Flair finally gets a low blow in. Out comes Dusty now to a good pop. Bionic Elbow to Flair and some rights, and another elbow, then some shots and an elbow for Animal. Dusty with mounted rights in the corner on Flair, then another elbow by Dusty. Flair yells something incoherent. 

Dusty says that Flair's been holding back other athletes for months now with his busom buddies, says Flair can't fire him either since he doesn't work there. He says Flair's been sidestepping Dustin, and says the new owners won't be here anymore. He says they're in hallowed grounds, grounds that he kicked Flair's ass in night after night. He says hell's coming and he's coming with it. He says he'll kick Animal's ass too and says they have a fight coming tonight. So they fight again into commercial. Wasn't sold on this segment when it started but quickly turned around.

Lance Storm (w/ Major Guns) vs Crowbar (w/ Daffney)

Pre-Match: Lance wants to be serious for a minute. He says it's a new day thanks to Flair, he's out to tell Flair that he has Team Canada's full support. For everyone else, he's going to put on a Canadian wrestling clinic because he's from Calgary, he was born to wrestle and bred to win.

He says it's a shame he didn't beat up Dustin first before ripping what is the contract Flair brought out on Nitro.

Then onto Nash. He sees the confidence in Nash's eyes, the arrogance in his walk, and must think he can beat Steiner, but he says he has Nash where he wants him.

Clark sent into the guard rail on the floor and Animal appears in the crowd, hits Clark in the back of the head with a chair. Adams sent off the ropes by Adams, avoids a slam but caught with a full nelson slam, cover but Luger saves it. 

Adams sent off the ropes and hits a double DDT. Adams tries a chokeslam but it's stopped by Buff. Clark is busted open. Adams dropped on the top rope throat first, belly to back suplex by Luger on Adams. Blockbuster by Buff gets the win. (6:21) Not good.

Cut to Flair, Jarrett and Steiner arriving at the jail, but they're told DDP made bail less than an hour ago. Steiner threatens the guard and they go in anyways. Page left an envelope for them in an open cell, it says he gets even. They get locked in by one of the guards to end the show.
