The Gathering (Part 3)

The cameras panned the arena, showing a sold out crowd at the BiLo Center in Greenville, SC. Gary Michael Cappetta took the mic in the center of the ring and spoke to the capacity crowd.

"Welcome to WCW Clash of Champions: The Gathering!, live on the USA Network. And now, let's go to down to ringside with 'Living Legend' Larry Zbyszko, Tony Schiavone and Good old JR, Jim Ross."

"Welcome to WCW Clash of Champions: The Gathering", Tony Schiavone started off. "It's been ten years in the making and I honestly didn't think we'd ever have this night. How about you, Larry?"

"It was inevitiable", Zbyszko replied. "The true legends always return and although WCW ended on a down note ten long years ago, just like the phoenix rises from the dead, so do the stars and legends that were World Championship Wrestling."

"I know I'm glad to be here", Jim Ross added. "I spent a long time working for WCW before I left to go to the WWE and I've got a lot of memories from those days. Truly some of the most memorable and history making moments in our great sport."

"Right you are, Jim", Schiavone remarked. "And now, let's head to the ring with Mean Gene Okerlund."

"Thank you, gentlemen", Gene said. "And please allow me to introduce my guests at this time... please welcome The Horsemen!"

The crowd goes crazy as the Horsemen's theme plays out and here comes the Horsemen. Arn Anderson, Tully Blancard, Dean Malenko, Barry Windham, James J. Dillon, Steve "Mongo" McMichael and "The Perfect 10" Baby Doll.

Arn takes the mic from Mean Gene and starts to talk...

"When you talk about World Championship Wrestling, you have to talk about this", he said as he held four fingers in the air. "No matter who was part of our group, we walked the walk, talked the talk and made sure that you got the best we had to offer, each and every night."

The fans started cheering and chanting "We Want Flair"....

Arm gave them a second to calm down and started speaking again.

"I wish he was here too", Arn said. "But legalities and contractual matters prevent Ric from being here and being part of all this."

Some of the fans started booing. Arn raised up a hand to silence them. "Legalities prevent Ric from physically being here", Arn said with a smile, but there's nothing that prevents me from calling Ric on the phone while I'm here in this ring."

The fans cheered as Arn pulled out his cellphone and hit a button. A few seconds later, Ric Flair's voice echoed throughout the arena.

"Woooooo!", Ric cut loose. "Double A and the Horsemen! Styling and profiling like the good old days and paying tribute to Jim Crockett, Ted Turner and WCW. Wooooo!"

"Ric, I know you've got something to say to the WCW fans watching tonight", Arn said into his phone.

"Wooooo! WCW was the evolution of professional wrestling. Every night, we walked that walk, we bled, we sweat and we payed the price. And partied harder than anyone. And so many greats came along. I see Mongo and Malenko in the ring, Tully, the Perfect Ten, Baby Doll, looking so fine. Wooo! Barry Windham, James J. Dillon, and Double A, the Enforcer. And there was Ole, Sid, Luger, Liz, wooooo!, Woman oh Woman won't you marry me now, Hennig, Pillman and Benoit."

Some boos started at the mention of Benoit's name.

Flair ignored them as he continued with a long, rambling promo, as only Ric Flair can do, before finally finishing up with a big "Woooooo!"

After finishing his rant, Ric wished Arn and the other Horsemen the best of luck and ended his call with a loud "Wooooooo!"

Arn was just smirking as Gene Okerlund went on about what a coup that was and how legal was going to have a fit. And then the music hit and here comes Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and Vincent... the nWo.

The nWo climbs into the ring and gets some mics. Nash talks about how cute it was for Arn to have Ric Flair call in. Arn agreed with a nod. Then Nash started getting nasty about how the Horsemen was what was wrong with WCW and jokes about how Arn raided the old folks home to get all of the former Horsemen together.

Arn let Nash ramble for a bit and then finally cut him off.

"The Horsemen were the dominant force for the NWA, WCW and wresling in general for a long time. Yeah, we took a lot from this business,but we gave back too and helped men become stars and stars become legends. What the hell did the nWo ever do except for kiss up to Bischoff and Hogan and destroy WCW with political games and ass-kissing."

More words exchanged and it's started to get heated when finally, Scott Hall speaks...

"Hey yo! Listen, the Horsemen were big names and legends in WCW. And the nWo... hey, we were just too sweet. So how about a match tonight? The three of us, The Bad Guy, Big Sexy and Syxx-Pac against any three of you Horsemen. That is, if you have three of you that can still climb into the ring without breaking a hip?"

The Horsemen gather over in the far side of the ring and agree - it's on for later tonight. Nash, Hall and Waltman versus Tully Blancard, Barry Windham and Dean Malenko.

Nash starts to talk more junk, but Gene Okerlund tells them that we have to go to commerical and to wait until later in the night.

As we go to commercial, we see a tribute, played to the song "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, in recognition of some of the former WCW stars that are no longer with us such as The Public Enemy, Rick Rude, Road Warrior Hawk, Louie Spicolli, The Wall, Miss Elizabeth, Curt Hennig, Bobby Duncum Jr., Wahoo McDaniel, Gordon Solie, Chris Candido, Mike Awesome, The Renegade, Woman, Referee Mark Curtis, Brian Pillman, Joey Maggs, El Gigante, John Tenta, Bam Bam Bigelow and Eddie Guerrero.

We come back from commerical and Fabulous Freebird Michael P.S. Hayes & Missy Hyatt are standing by the ring with a microphone. They're going to introduce the participants for a special "Battle Bowl Battle Royal"... it's an 21 man over-the top rope event.

Twenty-One Man Over The Top Rope Battle Bowl Battle Royal - Winner Gets Special WCW Battle Bowl Trophy...

Sgt. Craig Pittman, Kurasawa, Billy Kidman, Konnan, Brad Armstrong, Bill Mulkey, Randy Mulkey, Stevie Ray, Rick Steiner, Lord Steven Regal, Van Hammer, The Artist, Hacksaw Duggan, Maestro. Lash Leroux, Chavo Guerrero. Glacier, Jamie Noble, Psicosis, Ernest "The Cat" Miller & The Giant (Big Show)

Craziness and chaos reign as all the men first go after the Big Show, who is being billed as "The Giant". He fights off the crowd and manages to eliminate Glacier and The Artist in the process. Konnan is the next to go as Hacksaw Duggan takes him out with a clothesline. Van Hammer tosses out Brad Armstrong, only to be tossed out by Lord Steven Regal. Kurasawa is the next to go as The Giant tosses him out to the floor. Sgt. Craig Pittman is eliminated by Stevie Ray and Chavo Guerrero, who then turn on each other and end up both getting knocked out to the floor as Jame Noble charges into the two of them. The Mulkey Brothers and Lash Leroux eliminate the Giant, much to the delight of the Mulkeymaniacs in the audience. Rick Steiner is eliminated by Psicosis. Kidman nails Steve Regal with a dropkick that sends him to the floor. Regal grabs Ernest Miller on the way out and both men are eliminated. Hacksaw Duggan is the next to be tossed by the Mulkey Brothers. Jamie Noble tosses out Lash Leroux, but in turn, is tossed out by Psicosis. We're down to four people with the Mulkeys, Billy Kidman and Psicosis. Kidman tries to flip Randy Mulkey out of the ring, but Bill Mulkey saves his brother and they turn the tide, eliminating Kidman. Now it's two versus one as Psicosis weaves and dodges the two cult icons from WCW Saturday Night legend. In an amazing mood, Psicosis manages to get both Mulkey's up against the rope and with a flying crossbody, takes both of the Mulkey Brothers, as well as himself to the floor. And all three men's feet touch the floor at the same time, so there is no winner. Confusion reigns as we go to commercial..

We come back from commerical and "Mean" Gene has a guest who can help rectify this confusing situation.

Here comes Juventud Guerrera from the back. "The Juice" saw what happened and why not have a tag match right now between Mulkeys versus Juvi and Psicosis for the possession of the Battle Bowl Ring and to decide who wins the Battle Royal. The Mulkeys agree and we go straight into another match - an inpromptu tag match.

Bill & Randy Mulkey versus Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis

Fast paced action quickly became the rule of the day as both teams squared off and traded move for move with neither team able to gain a significant advantage. The fans were cheering "Mulkeys" and it was obvious that the two jobbers from the glory days of WCW had quite a cult-like following. Finally, Juvi managed to get Randy up for the Juvi-Driver and covered him for the pin, but the referee was distracted by Bill Mulkey and didn't see the pin attempt until it was two late. The Mulkeys fought back and managed to get the advantage and it looked like they were prepared to put Juvi away for the pin, but Psicosis grabbed the referee from the outside of the ring, distracting him from seeing what was going on. Here comes La Parka with a chair and from the outside of the ring, he blasts Randy Mulkey with the chair across the head. Psicosis releases the referee, who turns around to see Juvi grab up Randy with a Juvi-Driver and cover for the pin.

Winners: Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis w/ La Parka

We go backstage where "Mean" Gene is with "Cactus Jack" Mick Foley. Foley starts to talk about his memories of WCW and how Cactus Jack got his start on the way to becoming a hardcore legend in WCW. Kevin Sullivan interrupts and yells at Foley for being a coward and for "running away" from WCW. Words are exchanged and Sullivan says that he's not the only one to feel that way. Another man feels that way. Here comes Abdullah the Butcher attacking Cactus Jack. We see a vicious beatdown on Cactus by Sullivan and Abdullah. Referees and wrestling officials come in to break up the brawl as we head to a commercial.

We come back from the commercial and "Mean" Gene is with Mick Foley, who's face is covered with the crimson mask. Mick says that he wasn't planning on wrestling tonight, but if Kevin Sullivan and Abdullah the Butcher want to pick a fight with Cactus Jack, then so be it. Later tonight, it'll be a South Carolina Street Fight with Sullivan and Abby versus Cactus Jack and a partner of his choice. And the streets will run red. Bang Bang!.

We go back to Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko who tell us that later tonight, it'll be the Horsemen versus The nWo. And in the main event, it'll be the man called Vader talking on Goldberg. And Diamond Dallas Page, the phenom of WCW, has issued an open challenge and will take on any WCW star who wants to "feel the bang!" And now, we're headed to the ring for a "Four Corners" tag match.

The Boogie Knights (Alex Wright & Disco Inferno) w/ Tokoyo Magnum vs The Powers of Pain (Barbarian & Warlord) w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Three Count (Shane Helms & Evan Karagias) w/ Tank Abbott vs The West Hollywood Blondes (Lenny Lane & Lodi)

All the teams did their seperate entrances and Disco Inferno got on the mic and talked about how everyone only showed up to see the Disco Inferno and Alex Wright dance. Shane Helms took exception and said that the reason everyone was here was because of Three Count and he, along with Karagias, did their dance routine, along with Tank Abbott. Lenny and Lodi applauded both teams efforts and threw out a little innuendo about how everyone was going to have a "gay old time", Barbarian and Warlord just stayed quiet until Jimmy Hart gave them a signal and then they just attacked and the match was on. More chaos and craziness because with eight wrestlers, plus three men on the outside, it was definitely OINGO BOINGO time. Finally, Disco manages to catch Shane Helms with the Chart Buster to get the pin and pick up the win for his team.

Winners: Boogie Knights (Disco Inferno & Alex Wright) w/ Tokyo Magnum

As Disco, Alex and Tokyo danced in the ring to celebrate their victory,we go backstage where Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey, Stan Lane & Bobby Eaton) were standing with Bob Caudle for a special interview. Jim Cornette started off with a rant and a ramble as only Jim Cornette can do - about the history of WCW, the history of the Midnight Express, and what it took to pull this show together and what WCW means to him personally. And here comes "Above Average" Mike Sanders, accompanied by Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli, Sean O'Haire, Shawn Stasiak, Chuck Palumbo and Mark Jindrak, the group known as "The Natural Born Thrillers".

"What the hell do you want?", Cornette snapped at the newcomers.

Sanders laughed at Cornette and started to talk about how he was just an old, outdated idiot and the Midnight Express were jokes. No one cares about them anymore. When poeple think about great teams and excellence in WCW, they think about the Natural Born Thrillers.

Cornette grabbed the mic from Sanders and told him to shut the hell up. If they want to say something, they need to earn the right to do it and the Thrillers haven't earned anything except for an ass-beating. Sanders looked at his guys and smiled. "There's six of us and four of you, old man. You wanna do this?" Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, the Rock & Roll Express, stepped into the picture. "Looks like six on six", Ricky said firmly. Sanders backed off a bit and said, "we'll see you clowns in the ring", as The Thrillers exited the area.

We go to the ring and the Nitro Girls are dancing to take us into commercial.

(Commerical time)

We come back and Scott "Flash" Norton and Buff Bagwell are in the ring. "It's time for Vicious & Delicious", Bagwell gloated. "Anyone in the back want to step up and face us and have a career defining moment?"

Music hits and here comes Lance Storm walking to the ring. He gets the mic and introduces himself. He's from "Calgary (dramatic pause) Alberta, Canada", and if they want a match, he's here to give them one. And then he introduces his partner, "Lion Heart" Chris Jericho. The crowd erupts as Jericho comes to the ring. The ref calls for the bell and we have a match.

"Vicious & Delicious" Scott Norton & Buff Bagwell versus Chris Jericho & Lance Storm

Lots of good tag team wrestling, Buff is on his game and plays to the crowd as he works over Storm, but Jericho tags in and takes control. Norton gets in and uses the power moves to just toss Jericho and Storm around the ring. Lance manages to duck a clothesline by Norton and snags an ankle lock on the bigger man. Buff breaks up the potential submission, but gets hit by Jericho with a bulldog. More great action, and in the end, Buff attempts his "Buff-Buster" neckbreaker, but gets caught by Jericho who locks in the "Walls of Jericho". Buff taps out to end a great tag team match.

Winners: Chris Jericho & Lance Storm

(We go to commercial)

We come back and the Nitro Girls are in the ring dancing. Here comes Booker T to the ring. He heard that Diamond Dallas Page is claiming to be the "phenom" of WCW and has issued an open challenge. Well, Booker was the last "real" WCW Champion and is a five time WCW Champion. And if Page wants to get it on, he's more than ready. Now, can you dig that, sucka!

The music hits as "Self High Five" echoes throughout the arena. Here comes Diamond Dallas Page, accompanied by Kimberly. He gets in the ring and walks up to Booker. "Don't sing it... bring it!", Dallas says. "He didn't say that! Tell me he didn't say that", Booker sighed loudly. And the fists start flying as a referee jumps in the ring and calls for a bell.

"Diamond" Dallas Page w/ Kimberly Page versus Booker T

Both men are primed and in great wrestling shape and start off with some great wrestling, mixed with brawling and punches. Booker manages to catch DDP with a spin-kick, but rather than pinning him, goes for the spineroonie, to a great pop. But that allows Page time to recover and he levels Booker with a jawbreaker that sends Booker reeling to the outside. Page goes after Booker, but gets slammed into the ringpost. Booker tries to go after Page, but Kimberly gets in the way. Here comes Sharmell from the back and she pulls Kimberly out of the way. Booker rolls DDP into the ring, but is slow to get back in the ring as he's distracted by the two women cat-fighting. He finally gets back into the ring, where DDP is playing possum and catches him with the Diamond Cutter. DDP covers and gets the pin.

Winner: Diamond Dallas Page

DDP celebrates in the ring as we take a video package look at the history of the WCW World Championship with all of the Champions noted.

(commerical)

We come back from commerical and see Cactus Jack in the back and grinning that toothless grin of his. Cactus says that he found a partner and Sullivan and Abdullah are in for a bloody & crazy good time. Bang Bang! And we head to the ring.

Ten Man Tag Team Match
The Rock & Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) and The Midnight Express (Stan Lane, Dennis Condrey, Bobby Eaton) w/ Jim Cornette
versus
The Natural Born Thrillers (Johnny Stamboli, Sean O'Haire, Mark Jindrak, Shawn Stasiak, Chuck Palumbo) w/ "Above Average" Mike Sanders

As one might expect, it's total chaos and confusion as the referee loses control early in the match and it's OINGO BOINGO time. The Midnights and Rock & Rollers work well together and keep the early advantage with speed and wrestling moves, but the strength and power of the Thrillers and the huge size advantge eventually takes over. O'Haire & Stasiak manage to catch Dennis Condrey with a double-team move and O'Haire covers to get the pin.

Winners: The Natural Born Thrillers w/ Mike Sanders

The Thrillers are in the ring celebrating, but Mike Sanders gets the mic and starts bad-mouthing Cornette and Midnights and Rock & Rollers, calling them old men and talking more trash. Robert Gibson grabs a chair, and the others follow suit as the Midnight Express and Rock & Roll Express head back in the ring, chairs in hand, and clear the ring of the Natural Born Thrillers, with the exception of Mike Sanders, who is surrounded in the center of the ring. Jimmy Cornette takes the tennis racket he always carries and slams Sanders across the head and back. Sanders goes down and Stan Lane tosses him to the outside and waiting arms of his fellow Thrillers. A special mixed mash of the Midnight Express theme and The Rock & Roll Express's theme fills the arena as the two teams and Cornette embrace and celebrate in the ring.

(commercial)

The Nitro Girls are dancing in the ring as we go to former WCW announcer Chris Cruise, who conducts a brief interview with "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and his son, Dustin "The Natural" Rhodes. As Cruise talks to the Rhodes family, we see David Flair, Krowbar and Dafney run by in the background, laughing and screaming and it looks like they're playing tag. We go to the ring for the next match and here come The Horsemen...

Tully Blancard, Barry Windham & Dean Malenko w/ Arn Anderson & Baby Doll (The Horsemen) versus Kevin Nash, Scott Hall & Syxx-Pac w/ Vincent (nWo)

It's chaos and pandemonium as Windham and Hall immediately start things off by brawling and it goes down from there. Great team work and lots of tags from both sides of the ring. The nWo just concentrates on pounding away at anyone they can get close too, while Windham, Malenko and Blancard are using the classic "Anderson" strategy of concentrating on the left arm of their opponents and trying to wear their opponents down. A flying clothesline by Windham takes Hall to the floor as we go for a commerical break.

(commerical)

Back from commercial and former nWo members Masa Chono, Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton have joined Vincent at ringside. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Arn Anderson and Baby Doll have been joined by Steve "Mongo" McMichael, James J. Dillon & "The Total Package" Lex Luger. The chaos in the ring continues as both teams struggle to gain an advantage and hold on to it. Men on both sides are taking shots from outside the ring as well. It finally breaks down as Mongo & Norton get to brawling outside the ring and the referee is trying to break it up.

From the back, here comes Sid Vicious running and sliding into the ring. Nash has Malenko in the corner and is working him over. Vicious grabs Nash from behind and lifts him high into the air for a huge powerbomb. Sid then places Malenko on top of Nash and exits the ring as the referee slides back into the ring. He sees Dean covering Nash and makes the three count.

Winners: The Horsemen

The Horsemen gather in the ring and clear the ring of the nWo members and start to celebrate. Arn Anderson, Mongo McMichael, Barry Windham, Lex Luger, Dean Malenko, Tully Blancard, James J. Dillon, Baby Doll and Sid Vicious are all in the ring. Arn and Sid eye each other for a second and Sid whispers something to Double-A. Arn says something back and they shake hands. All of the Horsemen and their associates raise their hands in the air with the classic "Four Finger" salute of excellence.

And a voice comes from the huge Nitron screen at the top of the ramp. It's Ole Anderson, liva via satellite. He congratulates the Horsemen for maintaining the standard of excellence that he and Gene started with the Minnesota Wrecking Crew and then comments that of all his accomplishments in this buisness, his two most proud moments are teaming with Gene and when he, Tully, Arn, Ric and JJ founded the Horsemen. Ole apologizes for not being there, but he didn't want to get arrested for busting Vince McMahon in his damn mouth. But he's proud of Arn, WCW and the Horsemen and he's thankful he was such a part of it all. Ole holds up four fingers and gives that evil smile and laugh he was so famous for as we go to commercial.

(commercial)

Kevin Sullivan and Abdullah the Butcher are in the ring and they've got plunder. They're pacing and waiting for Cactus Jack to come out. Mick Foley comes out on the ramp and he has a mic. He didn't come to fight tonight, but they want to do it old-school and see if Cactus Jack still has what it takes, then so be it. It's no rules and anything goes in an South Caroliona Street Fight... and Cactus Jack's partner is... here comes Terry Funk running down the ramp-way and we've got a brawl.

Atlanta Street Fight
Cactus Jack & Terry Funk vs. Kevin Sullivan & Abdullah The Butcher

It's exactly what you expect. Lots of plunder and weapons and lots of blood everywhere. A total pier-six brawl. Cactus & Funk win when Cactus blasts Sullivan over the head with a kitchen sink to get the pin.

Winners: Cactus Jack & Terry Funk

(commercial)

We come back and Schiavone, Zbyszko and Jim Ross review the craziness that has been happening all night. And it's not over yet. Still to come is The Man they call Vader taking on Goldberg. The sound of glass shattering fills the arena and here comes Stone Cold Steve Austin to the ring. He grabs the mic and starts to cut a classic "Stone Cold" promo, but stops... His time in WCW wasn't about kicking ass and drinking beer. It was about being one of the most stunning up & up & coming superstars in wrestling and making a name. And he had a helluva start in WCW, teaming with Pillman, being part of the 'Dangerous Alliance' and having Col. Parker as his manager.

And here comes Col. Parker and his "Stud Stable" of Bunkhouse Buck & Dick Slater to the ring. Parker is really up his character and goes into a rant about how he made Steve Austin into a superstar and molded him into a legend and then when Austin went to the WWE, he forgot his friends and mentor. Austin listens to Parker ranting and raving, with Buck & Slater noding in agreement. Austin just listens and you can tell he's getting annoyed. More music hits - the sounds of 'Pomp & Circumstance' and here comes Macho Man Randy Savage to the ring. The place goes nuts!

Macho cuts a promo about how it's the first time he's been back on national TV in a long time and how it's the first time he's been in the ring with Steve Austin. The two men go eye to eye and have the staredown. Macho backs off - it's cool. He's the Macho Man and Austin is Stone Cold and Col. Parker looks like he should be selling friend chicken. Parker orders Slater and Buck to attack Austin and the Macho Man. Not a good move as Macho sends Slater flying to the floor outside the ring. Austin gives Buck a stunner. And Col. Parker is left alone with Steve Austin & Randy Savage.

Col. Parker starts to beg off, but Austin gives him a big stunner in the center of the ring. Macho goes to the top and here comes the flying elbow on Col. Parker. Slater is back in and rolls Parker to the outside where he crumbles to the floor. Macho and Austin are in the ring and stare each other down again. Austin signals for a beer. He gives one to Macho and they drink beer in the ring and do a toast and salute to Brian Pillman and Miss Elizabeth.

(commercial)

Back from commercial and Bret "The Hitman" Hart is in the ring. He's only spent a couple of years in WCW, but those were some times that he'll never forget, for both bad and good reasons, but mainly the good. He (surprisingly) sends a shout out to Ric Flair and Sting and wishes that they could be here. Hart is going to introduce the next match.

Vader w/ Harley Race versus Bill Goldberg

Vader has slimmed down from his last time on national tv and is a solid 440lbs of hard muscle and attitude. Goldberg looks pumped up and intense as he comes to the ring with his vintage entrance, complete with security and fireworks. Vader charges Goldberg immediately at the bell and it's on. Vader takes the early advantage by just tryng to power and bully his way over Goldberg, but Goldberg covers up and keeps trying to pick his spot and wear Vader down. Just total power moves and brawling by both men. Goldberg manages to hit a spear from out of the corner. Vader is stunned, so Goldberg strains, but manages to lift him up for a jackhammer suplex. Cover for a very close two count as Vader manages to roll a shoulder up.

Goldberg is frustrated and pulls Vader up to attempt another jackhammer suplex. Vader blocks it and scores with a suplex of his own. Vader drags Goldberg to the corner and then mounts the ropes. Splash time. Cover for a two count. Vader slams Goldberg again and goes up to the top for a huge 450 splash. Goldberg moves at the last second and Vader eats canvas. Both men are down.

As both men slowly rise, they start throwing punches and fists. A kick by Goldberg and he scores with the spear. A cover and another two count. Goldberg is frustrated and goes to pick up Vader and set him up for another jackhammer suplex. Vader grabs the legs and uses, of all things, a small package roll-up. The referee is there and drops down to count three. Vader wins.

Winner: Vader w/ Harley Race

As Harley raises Vader's arm in victory, Goldberg walks over and glares at Vader and Race. They shake hands in a show of sportsmanship and Race gets on the mic. This whole night has been about the legends and history that was... is WCW. I want everyone from the back to get their asses out here to this ring now. Race points at the announcers and tells them to come to the ring. The locker rooms empty as all of the wrestlers and officials - The Horsemen, The nWo, Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express, The Rock & Roll Express, The Natural Born Thrillers, The Luchadores, The Cruiserweights, Cactus Jack & Terry Funk, Steve Austin, Macho Man, The Nitro Girls, etc. all fill the ring. Austin gets on the mic and starts calling for beer. We have a giant, major league WCW Beer Bash as the credits start to roll and the show ends.


(Not) The End... (See the Epilogue in Part 4)
