Your land is gone,
And given me,
And here I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.

What's this you say?
You feel a right to remain?
Then stay,

And I will bury you…

Netcop Nitro – March 13 / 2000

[We open with a video package of last week’s show, as Jeff Jarrett plays mind games with Tank Abbott and Sid Vicious, Billy Kidman gains a new attitude, Booker gains the US title, Buff gains a new friend in Evan Karagias, and Jarrett realizes his dream and wins his first World title, defeating Sid to end the show.]

Live from Providence, Rhode Island, it’s WCW Nitro!

[We open with an odd viewpoint – The Kid-Cam™ -- as it points outside Ric Flair’s locker room. We see Torrie Wilson come into the picture, looking over a note sent in a heart-shaped card. She seems unimpressed to be there. She knocks on the door, and Ric Flair answers, wearing his best Armani suit. Soft music can be heard in the background.]

Flair: I got your note, darlin’. I knew you’d eventually come around and want a piece of the Nature Boy.

Torrie: You’re the one who sent me the note!

[Flair seems confused]

Flair: It doesn’t matter, lovely lady. The night is young, and Space Mountain is – WHOO! – open for business. [He suavely pulls out a bottle of champagne from an unseen ice bucket behind the door.] Care for a drink?

Torrie: [Rolls her eyes] I guess. But you’d better be a gentleman.

Flair: I’m nothing but…

[Torrie walks into the dressing room, and the door closes. We hear Curt Hennig chuckle.]

Hennig: And…CLEAR! Okay, Vamp, leave the camera back in Kidman’s dressing room. I think he’ll be VERY interested to see it.

[Fade to black, into Nitro opening. The usual generic music has been replaced with the first portion of Metallica’s "Fuel".]

[Announcers Scott Hudson and Mark Madden are shocked and appalled at the tactics Hennig is using to recruit people for his side. And speaking of shocking and appalling…]

[Three Count, noticably lacking Evan Karagias, are in the ring with new personal security manager Ralphus. He is wearing pants two sizes too big and has a large clock hanging around his neck.]

Shannon: Yo, we admit that we got our booties kicked by the Mamalukes last week, but we was distracted by all the honeys screaming our names, yo!

Shane: Yo, this week we gots us some security, so all you ladies gots to stay behind them barricades, yo.

Shannon: Yo, we needs to make a point, and we gonna get that title shizot against the Mamalukes at Uncensored by taking on the #1 team in the WCW, yo.

Shane: Yo, bring ‘em out, yo.

Opening match: Shane Helms & Shannon Moore v. Chuck Palumbo & Sonny Siaki. Scott Hudson points that, indeed, Palumbo and Siaki were the last team to receive a shot at the titles on WCW Saturday Night, so Three Count do have a point. Three Count hits their usual range of highspots to hold Siaki in the corner to start. Palumbo manages to tag in and hit a powerslam on Shannon for two, but gets caught with a missile dropkick from Shane to put him down. Shane tosses Palumbo to the floor and Shannon follows with a tope con hilo. They toss him back in and look to have things well in hand, but the impossible happens, and a female actually rushes the ring! In this case, Leia Meow, last seen with the Varsity Club, who has exchanged her Syracuse sweater…for a "Ralphus" one. Ralphus seems flattered to have his first groupie, and the fans in the front row start chanting his name as Leia is all over him. Meanwhile, Shane finishes Chuck Palumbo with a twisting legdrop from the top rope at about 4 minutes in. Ralphus pretends to be holding Leia back from mobbing Three Count as they all head back to the dressing room. As they leave, the camera zooms in on Disco Inferno, wearing a bad-looking moustache and sunglasses to disguise himself, sitting in the front and taking notes.

[We cut to the back as Buff Bagwell and Evan Karagias arrive together]

Buff: Okay, tonight I’m taking Booker on for the US title, so I need you to watch my back.

Evan: Right.

Buff: You got a match tonight?

Evan: I think I’m fighting Norman Smiley.

Buff: Okay. Well, just don’t let him do that "butt dancing" thing to you, people might think that you’re…hey, Lane and Idol!

[Buff stops to chat with them]

Lane: Hear the news, Buff? Scotty Riggs got fired today. They didn’t even let him get his gear out of his locker before they kicked him out.

Buff: That’s rough. So, you guys met…uh…Evan? Where’d he get to in such a hurry? [Shrugs, as we head to commercial…]

[Commercial break]

[We return with Riki Rachtman and new US champion Booker.]

Riki: Booker, last week you defeated Kidman to earn the #1 contender’s spot for Jeff Jarrett’s title, and then Jarrett simply handed you the title. That has to disappoint you.

Booker: That doesn’t even begin to cover it. I wanted to pin that punk in the ring and EARN the title, not have it handed to me on a platter, like when my brother was given my TV title a couple of years back. That’s not a win, and I’m not a real champion, or even a real man, without beating Jarrett.

Riki: Well, you can at least make a start by successfully defending the title against Buff tonight.

[Booker slowly allows himself a smile]

Booker: Yeah, that’s what it’s about, Riki. Tonight I’m gonna prove myself to the world at HIS expense. Now, can you dig that, sucka?

Riki: Uh, we’ve just been informed that there’s been an altercation…at the sound truck? [He starts running for the area.]

[We cut to the sound truck where a confused sound tech is left scratching his head and holding a cassette in his hand. Riki gets to the area.]

Riki: What’s going on?

Tech: The strangest thing…I was cueing up the music for the next match, and one of the wrestlers ran up to me and shoved his cassette into my hand and threatened to hurt me if I didn’t play it. I mean, what do I care, I’m a just a sound guys, right?

Riki: What’s the music?

[He shows him.]

Riki: I….see.

[Shakes his head as we cut to the ring.]

Norman Smiley v. Evan Karagias. Norman, as usual, is over with the crowd. Buff enters first, and after he does his posing, Evan makes his entrance…to what is a well-worn, obviously homemade, but still sadly recognizable theme song: "American Males". Buff gets a very shell-shocked look on his face, as Evan comes out wearing Scotty Riggs’ old tights and clapping his hands to the music. Norman is busy laughing his head off. Mat-based start as Norman is having trouble keeping his mind on the match, but Evan emulates Riggs’ high dropkick to the face and that’s enough to snap Smiley back to reality very quickly. Karagias manages to keep Smiley off-balance with the basic moves that he knows (hiptosses, slams, and dropkicks) as Buff plays cheerleader on the outside. However, at a crucial point Evan stops to do Riggs’ crane stance to impress Buff, and the few seconds with his back to Smiley is all that is needed for Norman to hook the Norman Conquest for the submission after only two minutes. Buff Bagwell buries his face in his hands, then quickly makes an aside to the camera:

Buff: I hope he’s got a REALLY hot sister.

[Norman starts doing the Big Wiggle to his music, but suddenly, "Stars and Stripes Forever" starts playing, and TV champion Hacksaw Duggan comes out, microphone in hand.]

Duggan: I just want everyone to know that I’m proud to be an American, and I’m glad that a couple of nice, wholesome young people like Buff and Evan would show the red, white and blue and reform the American Males, tough guy!

Norman: [Holding his hands in the air in a frustrated manner] Hey, I’m trying to dance here!

[Duggan starts striding to the ring]

Duggan: You should be saluting Old Glory instead of doing that fancy-dan wiggling!

Norman: I’m British, you moron!

Duggan: Yeah, well I retired one no-good Britishman last week, and I’m up for another one!

[Commercial break]

[We return with YOUR Uncensored 2000 Control Center, with Mike Tenay]

Mike: Well, we’ve only got a few matches confirmed, but this year’s edition of Superbrawl is shaping up to be the best in years. We’re not yet sure of the main event – we know that Jeff Jarrett will be defending the WCW World title, but his opponent has yet to be determined. Booker should also be defending the US title, and again we’re not sure against who yet. What we DO know so far is this…

- Just confirmed, Hacksaw Jim Duggan will defend his World Television title against "Screamin" Norman Smiley.

- Ric Flair will face Curt Hennig in a cage match to determine, once and for all, the owner of the Four Horsemen name.

- The Mamalukes have been repeatedly challenged, and have answered: They will defend their WCW World tag team titles against Three Count: Shannon Moore and Shane Helms. Will the addition of Ralphus be enough to turn the tide for Three Count?

- Chavo Guerrero, Jr. will defend the WCW Cruiserweight title against #1 contender Kaz Hayashi. What role will Psychosis and Juventud Guerrera play in this, and are we indeed seeing a reformation of the Latino World Order?

- In a special challenge match, Kanyon will face Bam Bam Bigelow.

That’s all we know for sure right now, but the US title match between Booker and Buff should clear up some questions for the PPV, as the winner will undoubtedly have to face the challenge of one Billy Kidman. With YOUR Uncensored Control Center, I’m Mike Tenay.

[Commercial break]

[Nitro girls dance.]

Chavo Guerrero, Jr. & Psychosis v. Kaz Hayashi & La Parka. Sign in crowd: "The Dream Team Reunited". Kaz and Parka’s mysterious voices cut a promo before the match as Chavo makes "crazy person" gestures at them. The Juice notes that he has finally come back to Dusty Rhodes Island. Chavo and Psychosis double-team Kaz in the corner with a vicious series of kicks. [Crowd chants "LWO!", which Chavo encourages]. Kaz fights them off and reels off a series of high-flying moves, sending Psychosis to the floor to get consoled by The Juice. Kaz brings in La Parka, who dances to a big pop. Kaz & Parka dominate Chavo for the next few minutes, getting a series of two-counts on the Cruiserweight champion, before he finally gets frustrated and low-blows Kaz. He tosses him into his own corner and fires off chops. Kaz is the face-in-peril as the LWO works on his neck. He takes an astounding amount of punishment in the form of elaborate double-teams until about the 10-minute mark, when Kaz hits a fluke legsweep and a brawl erupts. Parka comes in (illegally) and cleans house, and then calls for his trademark chair. Kaz tosses it to him, and Parka tosses it right back, nailing Kaz in the face and knocking him out cold! Parka yells out "LWO!" and stomps Kaz for good measure. Chavo drags Kaz to the heel corner, hits the tornado DDT, then tags in Psychosis, who finishes things with the guillotine legdrop for the pin. The LWO stomps on Kaz for a bit, before the referees break things up.

[Commercial break]

[We return to the ring, as Team Package is preparing to talk.]

Flair: Curt Hennig, I don’t know where you get off trying to turn all the talent in WCW against me, pal, but around here we have a little concept called "earning your spot" and another one called "young punks learning to keep their mouths shut"! [Whirls around] Shut up, fatboy! [Whirls back to the camera] I was wrestling Dusty Rhodes for the World title when your old man was changing your dirty diapers, you punk! I was defending that title, HEADLINING, in front of 50,000 or 60,000 people EVERY SINGLE NIGHT when you were jerking the curtain in Minnesota and trying to figure out the proper direction to put your jockstrap on! So now you come out here and accuse me – THE NATURE BOY – the man who MADE your career and made the careers of half the people who’ve ever wrestled in this jerkwater town [pauses to get the boos from the crowd], of holding you BACK? Well, buddy, if I didn’t hold you back, this company would go bankrupt tomorrow without me to save it every three years while you tanked the World title.

Luger: Yeah. [Liz applauds for effect.]

Flair: And ANOTHER thing…[turns around, distracted]…what do you want, punk? [Kidman is now standing behind him, holding the incriminating Kid-Cam, while breathing heavily and visibly shaking]

[Kidman lets out a war cry and dives at Flair savagely, catching him off-guard. Hennig and Vampiro charge the ring to take care of Luger while Kidman pounds on Flair. Torrie and Liz tease a catfight, but the refs pull them apart in time. Kidman and Flair refuse to be broken up, so one of the refs shrugs, gets the extra people out of the ring, and starts the match.]

Ric Flair v. Billy Kidman. Flair manages to get Kidman in the corner and chops away, but Kidman continues to fight dirty, attacking with fast right hands and a knee to the gut. He nails Flair low, then tosses him over the top rope. Flair staggers to his feet, and Kidman quickly nails him with a vicious baseball slide that sends him crashing into the railing. Flair is busted open. Kidman tosses him back into the ring and works on the cut, even resorting to biting him. Torrie seems somewhat turned on by the savageness displayed by her man. Kidman comes off the ropes with a running stomp, but Flair catches his foot in mid-air, and holds on, then chops him so hard that it rips his shirt. Kidman retorts with an enzuigiri to put Flair on the mat, then tears the shirt off completely, looks at it with almost disgust, and tosses it away into the crowd. Flair takes the opportunity to clip Kidman’s left knee, dropping him to the mat in pain. Flair viciously works the knee for the next few minutes, leading to a figure-four attempt. Kidman shoves him off mid-move, and Flair hits the floor, nearly landing in Torrie’s lap. He offers a "whoo", and she slaps him. Kidman comes barrelling across the ring and hits a dive through the ropes, and they both go crashing down the aisle. Flair is up first, but Kidman pops up and starts hammering him with forearms to drive him back to the ring. He tosses Flair back in and jumps to the top rope to try a springboard, but his knee gives way and he falls to the mat. Flair announces that now, indeed, we go to school, and slaps on the figure-four. The ref keeps checking Flair’s increasingly-bloody cut instead of counting Kidman down, missing a pinfall opportunity as Kidman clearly passes out from the pain after a couple of minutes in the hold. Seeing the chance, Torrie pulls Kidman’s hands to the ropes, causing the break. Flair is pissed, and argues the call with the ref. They get into a shoving match, and the ref shoves Flair backwards into a Kidman bulldog for a two count. The bloodied and woozy Flair takes a blind swing at Kidman and misses, and Kidman hits the Face Jam for two, then drags Flair to the corner and heads up top for the Shooting Star Press…then changes his mind, and instead hits a flying elbow, which is good enough for the pin at the 10-minute mark. Kidman grabs Torrie and heads back to the dressing room as the referee attends to Flair.

[We cut back to Riki Rachtman, with Curt Hennig and Vampiro]

Riki: Is there some sort of conspiracy here?

Hennig: We’re just taking what’s ours, Rachtman.

[Kidman comes into the room. Hennig and Vampiro high-five him.]

Vampiro: I know people don’t understand why I picked Curt to help me, but desperate times make for desperate people. I saw someone who could help me, and he can help Kidman, too. And he just showed what a pathetic old man Flair is, making him bleed and pinning him right in the center. We’re the future, and they’re the past, and we’re gonna prove it at Uncensored! Luger – you’re all mine, and there’s not gonna be any cheap wins that night. One of us is going to bleed, I can promise you that.

Kidman: I just want to add that someone, I forget who, made a big speech about "passing the torch" a few months back. Well, I made sure the torch wasn’t just passed – it was ripped from their hands! Flair, done deal. Beaten. Bloodied. You DON’T try to touch my woman, and you especially don’t videotape yourself trying it, because that makes you #1 on my hit list. And at Uncensored, it doesn’t matter who’s the US champion – Booker or Buff – because on March 19, I’m finally taking what’s rightfully mine.

Hennig: You know, I bet some people are wondering why I’d even want to fight Flair for a name he hasn’t used in a couple of years. Well, it’s the principle. Because it always seemed like when things were the worst for Flair, he’d pull together those last bits of his pride and reform the Horsemen again to remind himself of what he USED to be. Well, my goal to simple: Remove that one last bit of pride he has by taking the thing that no one else could take from him: The Horsemen name. As an added bonus, tonight I get that bleached-blond World champion, Jeff Jarrett, and I can go into Uncensored as the World champion and REALLY show up Flair. And, I bet I know what you’re thinking, Riki.

Riki: What’s that?

Hennig: You’re thinking – "Don’t they need FOUR people for the Horsemen once they win?" [Pauses, then starts chuckling to himself] All I can say is…you ain’t seen nothing yet.

[The three men hold up the four fingers, as we fade to commercial.]

[Commercial break]

[We return in Jeff Jarrett’s office, as the Harris Boyz stand guard as per usual.]

Big Ron: [Checking earpiece] Security says we’ve got another visitor.

Jarrett: Well, don’t just stand there…

[Ric Flair comes crashing through the door.]

Jarrett: …send him in. Ric, always a pleasure. What can I do for you…Kleenex?

[Heavy D. offers him some tissue to wipe the blood currently dripping from his forehead.]

Flair: [Still out of breath] Where…the hell…were you?

Jarrett: Pardon?

Flair: You heard me. We had a deal, pal. I paid you some good hard cash to make sure crap like this [points at forehead] didn’t go down!

Jarrett: Well, see, it’s funny you should mention that, because I don’t recall ever SIGNING any contracts of any sort…

Flair: You lying bastard!

Jarrett: I didn’t lie. I’m simply waiting to see what position is of the best interest to me. Much like I got Nash "positioned" into that mental hospital following his little Batman delusion a couple of weeks ago, giving me full rights to the office. So, unless you can, shall we say, convince me a little more…

[Flair starts breathing even heavier.]

Flair: I’ll have it on your desk in 20 minutes, but…

Jarrett: Small bills, please.

Flair: …BUT…if you try this again, so help me god, I will break both of your legs in the middle of the ring and spit on your unconscious body. And just to make sure, I’ve convinced a friend to come along with me. [Flair leaves the room, leaving the door open.]

Jarrett: Dammit, doesn’t anyone in this place have manners? Get the door, Big Ron.

Heavy D: I’m Heavy D, boss.

Jarrett: Do I look like I care? Just shut the damn door.

[Heavy D shrugs and goes to shut the door, only to have a fist slam into his face faster than what is normally within human ability, and he drops to the ground as if dead.]

Jarrett: Oh, crap…

[Tank Abbott throws the door open, and pushes the cameraman outside.]

Tank: You know that quitting thing last week? I lied…

[He slams the door shut as the cameraman drops his equipment and runs for his life, and we hear the sounds of a fight from behind the door.]

[Commercial break]

US title match: Booker v. Buff. Buff seems more focused for this match, because it’s his big chance to finally prove himself. They lock up, and Booker throws Buff out of the ring. Back in, Booker takes Buff down with a right, then a flying clothesline. Booker hits Buff with a faceslam and a DDT for two. Side suplex gets two. Booker whips Buff into the turnbuckle, and Buff avoids a blind charge and follows with a powerslam for two. Buff nails him with a vertical suplex and poses. Buff whips him into the ropes, and Booker misses with a clothesline. Bagwell goes for a hiptoss, but Booker blocks it, then Booker goes for a spinebuster, but Buff counters it with a kneelift. Buff hits a dropkick. Crowd is torn on who to cheer for. Buff goes into an armdrag, then chops away. Irish whip, but Booker rebounds with a flying forearm for two. Booker goes for a side suplex, but Buff blocks it and gets a swinging neckbreaker. He follows with a fireman's carry takedown, but Booker blocks it and gets a right hand in and a scissor kick. Irish whip and an elbow to the head get two. Buff comes back with his own for two. They have a brief staredown and Buff poses, pissing off Booker. Booker runs into the ropes and hits Buff with a flying forearm for two.

Booker comes off the ropes again, but both get hit with a double clothesline. Fan sentiment seems to be swinging back to Booker. Booker with the irish whip, but Buff hits a clothesline and an elbowdrop. Booker bails, and Buff chases, suplexing him on the floor. Back in, Buff prances around a bit, and gets dropkicked and scissor-kicked for two. Elbowdrop gets two. Buff recovers and a slugfest erupts, jacking up the crowd. Booker goes for another scissor kick, but Buff moves. Buff goes into a headlock on Booker, as we take a…

[Commercial break]

We return as Buff slams Booker, but he breakdances up and powerslams Buff for two. Booker uses a side suplex and flying forearm for two. Buff ducks a clothesline and we get a double-reverse on an irish whip. Booker tries a knee to the mid-section, but Buff hits a schoolboy rollup for two. Splash only gets one. Clothesline is no-sold by Booker, and he gets

a gorilla press, then throws Buff out of the ring. He whips Buff into the STEEL guardrail. Buff side-steps a dropkick and Booker lands on his ass. Back in, Buff goes for a slam, but Booker counters it with a small package for two. Booker hits a Rock Bottom on Buff, and looks to finish with the Harlem Hangover, but the ref is bumped as Booker comes down! Booker revives the referee, allowing Bagwell the opportunity to revive. Booker goes for a flying clothesline, but Buff ducks, then hiptosses him. Buff goes for a backdrop suplex, but Booker blocks it and nails a standing dropkick. He adds a stomp for good measure. Buff makes one last comeback, kicking and punching, but Booker hits a kick to the gut of his own. He misses a dropkick, and Bagwell gets an inverted atomic drop to leave Booker staggered. Buff sets up for the Blockbuster, but Booker counters it with a back body drop on the way down. Buff hits a clothesline and a small package for two. Slugfest erupts again as the intensity really starts to get nasty. Booker clotheslines him out of the ring, then tosses him back in. They continue hammering each other, and quickly Buff’s strengths are apparent as he is beating Booker down to his knees. With one last burst of adrenaline, he drives a knee into Booker’s mid-section and jumps to the second rope, hitting the Blockbuster! He makes the stupid mistake of stopping to pose for the chanting crowd, who quickly scream at him, but too late: Booker breakdances up, hits the Harlem sidekick, and gets the hard-fought pin to retain the US title at about the 10-minute mark. The crowd gives both men a standing ovation, and the two embrace after the match.

[Jeff Jarrett’s music plays over the PA as he makes an unexpected entrance]

Jarrett: Hey, slapnuts…I just wanted to remind you that even though you beat Buff Bagwell, you still never beat ME for that title. So I’m offering you a unique proposition for Uncensored: I’ll give you the opportunity to do what you couldn’t do last week: Beat me. You see, I’m offering you a title v. title match for Uncensored, winner takes all. If you win, you not only can call yourself a rightful US champion, but also the World heavyweight champion. But if *I* win…and I will…then you’ll have to live with the knowledge that your big opportunity as US champ only came about because *I* allowed it, and nothing more. But I wouldn’t want to step on any toes, so let’s just say you’ll have to get by Billy Kidman first, as was already signed. So what do you say, slappy?

Booker: That sounds real good for you. But how come you’re getting Kidman to do your dirty work?

Jarrett: That’s for me to know, and you to shut the hell up about.

Booker: Yeah, well that deal still sounds pretty good for you…why don’t YOU face some suitable competition before you face me?

Jarrett: [Laughs] There ain’t any competition around here, I’ve taken care of it all. Haven’t you heard – Don’t piss me off!

Booker: Well, what about him?

Jarrett: Who? [Turns around and sees Tank Abbott glaring at him, but only for a second as Tank unloads with a left hand that knocks Jarrett clean out. Security manages to mob Abbott again and drag him back to the dressing room. Scott Hudson excitedly announces that "I think we have some competition for him!" as we hit our last commercial of the evening.]

[Commercial break]

WCW World title match: Jeff Jarrett v. Curt Hennig. Hennig is being seconded by Vampiro, who tosses the woozy Jarrett into the ring. They lock up. Curt Hennig takes Jeff Jarrett down with a neck snap, then picks him up and hits a piledriver for two. Jarrett rolls to the corner to try and recover, but Hennig pulls him out and nails him with a right and a hiptoss. Hennig quickly goes for a Boston crab to work on the back, but Jarrett blocks it and maneuvers himself up and into a suplex. Hennig gets up and Jarrett dropkicks him,then rolls out to take a breather. Vampiro tosses him back in, and Hennig gets a sleeper from behind. Jarrett struggles free and slams Hennig back-first into the turnbuckles to break. Jarrett goes for his own sleeper, but Hennig breaks free with a jawbreaker. A slugfest erupts, won by Hennig. He follows with a kneelift, and an elbow to the head. He whips Jarrett off the ropes, but puts his head down and takes a swinging neckbreaker for two. Elbowdrop gets another two for Jarrett. Hennig punches away to come back, and they start hammering each other with rights. Jarrett gets a knee to the midsection and hits tries a piledriver, but Hennig backdrops out. Hennig rallies again with some right hands, but comes off the ropes with a blind charge and gets levelled with a clothesline. Jeff Jarrett hits Hennig with a DDT for two. Jarrett controls further, bulldogging Hennig and hitting a fistdrop from the second rope for two. Jarrett goes for another sleeper, and this time nearly puts Hennig out before he rallies. Jarrett releases the hold, dropkicks him in the back of the head to stagger him, and hits a running elbow to the head for two. He picks him up and delivers a neckbreaker for two. Hennig backdrops out of another piledriver, and pulls down the strap to cue the comeback. He takes Jarrett down with a snapmare and hits the running necksnap, then kicks him in the head. He uses a cross-corner whip to send Jarrett into the turnbuckles back-first, then the crowd erupts as he signals for the Hennigplex. Ric Flair charges out, head bandaged, and gets in Vampiro’s face. They brawl, and while the ref is distracted by them, Hennig hits his finisher to no avail. He stops to grab the ref, and Jarrett comes diving in with a chop block on Hennig’s knee, and slaps on the figure-four as the referee turns around to count the submission at the 8-minute mark. Flair stalks off again, with a final "Whoo" as we run out of time for the week.

We finish with an Uncensored promo: Montage of WCW stars airs as we hear…

"Given one chance to finally prove himself to the world, new US Champion Booker faces upstart Billy Kidman, while the power-mad Jeff Jarrett is forced to confront the rage of Tank Abbott [quick shots of Abbott knocking out competitors with one punch]. Can Booker survive two stern tests in one night and emerge with both titles, or is Jarrett indeed the Chosen One? Find out, as Western Union presents WCW Uncensored, live, March 19!"
