THE WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP YEAR IN REVIEW: This season of Nitro began during WWE's Stone Cold Steve Austin's dominant reign as the champion in a reign that would last 232 days and amass ten successful title defenses driving back legendary challengers such as Ric Flair, Sting, Goldberg, Randy Savage, Kevin Nash and even Mr. McMahon.

The man who would finally take down “The Texas Rattlesnake” would be a man who has been evaded by world championships, Scott Hall. However, the clock would soon strike midnight for “The Bad Guy” as he would lose to “The Nature Boy” who would finally be the one to bring the WCW World Heavyweight Championship back to WCW. Flair then made sure to keep the title in WCW by driving back challenges from both members of The Outsiders! However, Flair would soon lose the title to the man who currently holds it, Sting '91.

LAST WEEK ON NITRO: The WCW World Tag Team Champions, The Outsiders arrived at Nitro last week with seven successful title defenses. However, they have never beaten The Hart Foundation. The Outsiders would close out Nitro with a victory against Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart to retain the WCW World Tag Team Championship!

TONIGHT ON NITRO: The WCW World Tag Team Champions, The Outsiders will find out who will be their next challengers as “Latino Heat” Eddie Guerrero and “The Master of the 619” Rey Mysterio face “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair '91 and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper in a #1 contender's match for the WCW World Tag Team Championship!

SHOW OPENER PROMO

Ric Flair '88 hopes that Sting '91 was paying attention last week when he pinned Sting's partner, Dusty Rhodes after knocking him out with his patented, legendary knee drop. Because Sting is going to have a heck of a time trying to stop “The Nature Boy” when they face off for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in two weeks on Nitro!

LAST WEEK ON NITRO: With Goldberg now at six successful title defenses, Sting '99 stepped up to be next man to challenge the WCW United States Champion! The title match will take place next week on Nitro!

NEXT: The Ultimate Warrior and “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes both have their sights set to be the one to take down Goldberg and win the WCW United States Championship.

SHOW CLOSER PROMO

Hollywood Hulk Hogan talks about beating Kevin Nash a few weeks ago on Nitro in a match where Nash was looking to take down “The Hulkster” and take the torch as the leader of the nWo. With this win, Hogan now has his sights set on the winner of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship match between Sting '91 and Ric Flair '88.

Randy Savage appears and tells Hogan that he should take his eyes off of the upcoming title match and focus on “The Macho Man” that stands before him. Kevin Nash couldn't take the nWo torch from Hogan but “Macho Man” is tired of always being considered number two after Hogan and wants a match with “The Hulkster” so he can beat him and take the torch as THE GUY.
