SHOW OPENER PROMO

Ric Flair '88 talks about the numerous times earlier this year where he challenged Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and failed. Those failures turned “The Nature Boy”, the face synonymous with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, into a joke.

However, last week, Ric proved why he's the greatest of all-time when he beat one of the greatest of all time in Stone Cold Steve Austin. Flair proclaims that last week the Ric Flair that is synonymous with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship finally returned. Iron sharpens iron and Flair thanks Austin for helping “Naitch” rise to another level.

When it comes to the reigning WCW World Heavyweight Champion Triple H '01 and the former champion Sting '91, Flair says that he has to weigh his Evolution brotherhood with Triple H against the big respect he has for Sting in his undying fight to defend WCW, Flair's WCW.

LAST WEEK ON NITRO: Goldberg defeated X-Pac to retain the WCW United States Championship!

INTERVIEW Kurt Angle '01 makes it clear that he's not a part of the WCW roster. With Angle winning an Olympic gold medal with a broken neck, all United States Championships belong to Kurt simply by right. So he demanded that Mr. McMahon allow Angle to simply take what belongs to him, the WCW United States Championship. If that means snapping Goldberg's ankle then so be it.

Finish: Angle Slam

Post-Match: Angle attacks his opponent at ringside and rams him into the steel steps.

SHOW CLOSER PROMO

After beating Sting '91 for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship two weeks ago on Nitro, Triple H '01 talks about what that championship has meant to him for all these years before he begins talking about how Nitro needs a Superstar and a Legend like “The Game” to help it compete with the WWE Legends brand and to keep the nWo in check. While Triple H isn't a card carrying member of the faction, he sure as hell runs The Kliq.

Sting '91 interrupts and talks about how Stone Cold Steve Austin came over from the WWE Legends brand earlier this year to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, successfully defend it ten times and hold it for 232 days. Sting will be damned if he allows Triple H to repeat that history.

So since Sting knows that Triple H respects the legacy of WCW and since thy're in that Starrcade time of year, Sting challenges Triple H to a No Holds Barred Rematch for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship next week on Nitro!

Triple H '01 vs Sting '91

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: Triple H '01
