TONIGHT ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF NITRO: On a special
PPV-lenth show, former WCW cruiserweight Eddie Guerrero returns to
challenge to the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Stone Cold Steve
Austin! However, Guerrero is shockingly ambushed by “The Eighth
Wonder of the World” himself, André
The Giant, with Bobby “The Brain” Heenan in tow who exclaims that
he's not here in WCW to call the action, he's here to create it and
that starts with the superior giant making himself known as the most
indomitable force in the history of WCW by making an example of Eddie
Guerrero later tonight!
ALSO TONIGHT ON NITRO:
Mr. McMahon goes over all of the WCW competitors who've tried and
failed to beat Stone Cold Steve Austin to “bring back” the WCW
World Heavyweight Championship back to WCW. Vince is here to give the
people what they want. By the end of the night the WCW World
Heavyweight Championship will be around the waist of someone from
WCW, the OWNER of WCW, Mr. McMahon!
