December 15, 1997

The announcers tell us we're live from Charlotte, North Carolina which is the home of some famous wrestler who has been out of action since Fall Brawl when Curt Hennig slammed the cage door repeatedly on his head. And indeed instead of an nWo opening interview, we have Gene Okerlund in the middle of the ring and he introduces Charlotte's own...Arn Anderson. Arn works the crowd and promises that Hennig is going to pay for what he did at the end of the War Games match. And then he introduces...Ric Flair! The hometown crowd goes crazy as Flair comes out and struts and gives some "Whooo!" Flair finally gets a mic and says it took some time for his body to heal, but he's back and ready for payback. He wants Hennig tonight! And then he calls out Rowdy Roddy Piper. Piper welcomes Flair back. Flair has heard Piper needs a tag partner at Starrcade to take on the Outsiders and Flair agrees to be that partner.

Rick Rude distracted the referee allowing The Outsiders to come down and powerbomb Flair outside the ring. Arn Anderson tries to stop them but gets pummelled as well. Rick Rude leaves the referee alone to count out Flair. Piper tries to make the save but gets ambushed by Syxx. DDP is next and he gives Syxx a Diamond Cutter, but then numbers take their toll. Hogan comes out as well but then the lights go out. When they come on again, Sting is standing on top of the big metal WCW logo. He points his bat at Hogan as the show goes off the air.
