The opening contest after a replay of the events that happened 24 hours ago was The Bullet Club squaring off against The Legion of Doom, getting the best of them at World War but LOD was equally pissed off. Devitt watched from the floor with Serena, watching the Club taking a beating as LOD ruled the ring. It took the Club five minutes to turn it around, able to divide and conquor, Animal on the floor as Serena got in his face, Animal pushing her on her ass as Devitt rose up and cracked the chair over his back.
The ref tossed the match out as the Club started to beat upon LOD, Devitt letting them dismantle them and had Anderson finish them with a double cutter. Devitt slowly entered as the club tossed LOD to the floor, getting a mic.
"Last night, your, IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion, entered World War and shot down Hulkamania, A Noah Legend, a Luchador Legend and your current champion, Taka Michonoku. Taka, last night, my bullet grazed your cheek and you were out, in fact it's come to my attention you're still not awake, but mark my words, this Saturday will be the Rey de Reyes Tournament and the winner, gets to face you at Starrcade. I am making a promise, that I, will be seeing you in Texas for the Cruiserweight Championship...and just to prove how serious I am....as of 9:47 this morning...this...Championship Belt...has been sanctioned."
He would drop the mic, making his way to the back having Serena carry the belt for him, Anderson acting as the body guard as the Club led the way.
"Well ladies and Gentlemen that's news to us, this Saturday is the Rey de Reyes Tournament featuring all the cruiserweights of the NWA in one bit match, we have even more matches lined up tonight and tonight we will hear from Ric Flair and the World War winner Sting leading into their match at Starrcade V."

Old rivalry, hell, the rivalry of the year it seemed as Chono was up against Barry Windham whom was trying to get redemption for screwing up World War, going right after Chono. In fact this was more of a brawl and now that Windham's hand was healed he was at full strength.
Chono and Windham actually busting each other over the mouth and eye hardway, the ref having to break it up a little bit as Windham had control, slowly turning this into a wrestling match as Chono had to get stiff to fight him off, dropping him with a powerbomb, nailing him with shoulder blocks and went for the ChonoTrigger but Windham backdropped him, Windham reaching into his tights having a pair of knucks but Chono rolled him up for the victory.
Windham immediately rose up, punching Chono over the head with the knucks, hitting at him having enough of this guy, wanting to destroy him as he took the U.S. Title, raising it up to blast him over the head when he was turned around and attacked by Hayabusa whom kicked him out of the ring.
Windham went to re enter but the refs held him back, Windham saying he wanted his Jap ass next week as he was pulled to the back, Busa holding the title belt and looked over to Chono, handing it over to him, Chono pulling it...but Busa didn't let go. He would look to Chono then the title and let go, leaving as quietly as he came, Chono looking on holding his head a bit as Nitro would cut to a break.

Darkness, light...it surrounds me as I walk down the path, forever judged by those whom rever me, as their savior. They say..Justice is blind, right and wrong is not black nor white but many shades of grey. The spoils of war do not go to the man whom lies cheats and steals but to the one whom bears fruit of his labors. Loyalty removed, greed replaced, you surround yourself with the Sins of men and carry the symbol of which all of use strive for.
Ric Flair, I am the Aspect of Justice, I bear the colors of light and shadow and not walk the path of redemption but blind, no. I've watched you, warned you, and condemn you to a fate where you shall be humbled before those whom once chanted your name.
Justice has been silent far too long, the seeds of impurity have grown far too long and I ask forgiveness to those I have let down. I have walked the path thorns and crashed through the walls of defeat, but never again, shall I rest, until the day I put things right.
Flair, I am no Angel, no Devil, Machine, Icon nor The Omnipitant...for I am a man, the one whom is going to return the NWA to it's roots, bring back the purity of what it once was. Your Horsemen shall fold, your name shall be baptised, and Justice shall be brought and it shall be delivered, do not call me a hero, do not claim me as an Icon, call me, by my name......Sting.

Holy shit, a Fatal Four Way featuring Bret, Kenta, Vader and Kane? Talk about epic here as these men went to it, Kenta mixing it up with Bret while Vader and Kane tore the house down. All four of them seemed to have their own advantage, Vader the size, Kane the Strength, Kenta the striking game and Bret the techniqual whom was the punching bag through this whole thing, Kane obviously exhausted from last night was easily disposed of on the floor.
Kenta and Vader had a little mini match of their own, Vader winning in the end as Bret caught him from behind, able to take the big man down trying for a Sharpshooter but he was pushed to the floor, Vader rising up into the mits of Kane whom couldn't lift him, Vader taking complete control of the bout, dropping him with a powerbomb.
He rose up going for the Vaderbomb but Kenta got under him, dropping Vader with a powerbomb from the rope, Kenta going for the pin but Kane booted him out of the ring, looking for a chokeslam but Vader dropped him with a belly to belly, kicking him to the floor as Bret went after him getting splashed in the corner then dropped with a clothesline.
Vader went for the Vaderbomb and missed, Bret dropping him with a dropkick and lowbridged him to the outside, Kenta picking Bret up for the Burning Hammer, Bret quickly climbing on his shoulders catching him in a victory roll for the victory.
Bret rose up on his knees, Kane entering the ring with a steel chair but he was jumped by Richie Steamboat. He would punch away at Kane as Sullivan grabbed him by the ankle, dragging him to the floor, Kane getting a hold of Richie as his father, Ricky, came down, armed with a steel chair and cracked it over Kane's back, defending his son as Kane and Sullivan would back peddal away. The Steamboat's standing tall ready for a fight, Ricky making sure Bret was okay giving him a small handshake on that one as we cut away.
We cut away to the parking lot where Ric Flair had arrived, dressed in a million dollar suit and tie, the world title over his shoulder with sun glasses to boot, trying to hide the black eye that he got last night, giving his driver a hundred to park the car, heading to the arena.
[Play Out]
Horsemen against Harlem Heat and tonight it was going to have a finish, no more dodging or cutting corners and Heat were on the sole offensive tonight, they weren't leaving anything to chance. Sherri on the outside barking out orders trying to keep her men focused as Dillion ensured his men this would be a cake walk if they followed instructions.
Heat had the full on advantage for eight minutes, Tully and Arn respectively just getting beaten down at every pass, Dillion having to get on the apron trying to force a distraction giving the Horsemen a chance to score a low blow and take control.
The match carried on as Tully was enjoying this way too much, dropping Booker with suplexes and pile drivers, pulling out a twenty from his tights and tossed it at Sherri to get him some water, going back to punishing Booker as he was sent to the floor. Tully would move around towards Sherri, Big Stevie preventing that as Arn took him out, Tully telling Sherri he'd love to have her at his mansion scrubbing floors, Booker pulling him into the ring and started to beat the hell out of him.
Arn and Stevie on the outside going to a brawl, Tully hitting Booker low and rolled to the outside as Dillion and Sherri got into it, Blanchard grabbing her by the hair yelling at her to never put her hands on J.J., Sherri cracking him over the mouth as Heat responded by jumping him, again, getting this match tossed out.
Officials flew down to stop this melee before it got worse, The Horsemen retreating to the back with their tag team championships in tact as they were stopped by Kevin Kelly.
"Excuse me if I can get a word for a second, Horsemen, again, another no finish, these fans and myself are getting a bit tired-"
"It doesn't matter what you're getting tired of, Tully Blanchard and myself put on the highest quality matches on the road, on Nitro, everywhere and these people need to show us the proper respect. You put your hands on our manager and you've crossed more than a line there and Harlem Heat again, found out that cheaters never prosper and when they're ready to fight like men, we'll be waiting."
"You see Sherri I thought you'd fit nicely on my mantle at Blanchard Estates, I offered you prime time real estate in my mansion where you'd be dressing in the finest clothes and serving me the finest wine. But apparently you enjoy living in the ghetto sleeping in a one bedroom shack ontop of those two dogs squandering your life. But you know what, women like you are a dime a dozen and I've paid for cheaper women that look better than you. Your loss sister and as far as Harlem Heat, it's not a race thing, it's a fact, those that work harder, smarter get results and people like you, God just gave up on."
They would pull away heading to their locker room, Kevin just shaking his head as we move back to the ring.
[Play Out]
C.M. Punk against Alberto Del Rio, both of them pretty banged up from their matches last night though it was easy to see both of them just were exhausted, their moves not having the impact they should have had but still put on one hell of a fight, Punk able to drop Del Rio with the GTS for the victory.
He held his back after that 11 minute match, Del Rio moving to the back as his stitches had reopened up during the bout, Punk getting a mic.
"I apologize for the crudeness of my words, but I am in pain after going 71 minutes and forced to wrestle a match out here tonight. Last night, I came within inches of winning World War, going to Starrcade and facing off against Ric Flair for the World Title thus making this whole story arc make sense...but...I lost..all because of one man who I know is in the back doing interviews all day while I'm forced to wrestle and that's John Morrison. John, you cost me everything last night, accident or not, I have no choice but to kick your ass. I don't care if it's here on Nitro, tomorrow, I don't even care if we do it on Monday Night Raw as the opener, Morrison I'm paying you back in spades from one wrestler to another."
[Play Out]
"Whoa, what's all the hostility Punk? Don't tell me you're turning what happened last night into something it's not. It was every man for himself and last time I checked you tried to eliminate me yourself, my foot caught your face before you got the chance to do the same thing, I'm sorry I crushed your dreams but in case you forgot, I didn't win it either-"
"No no no stop right there Morrison because that's the difference between you and me. You lose a match and you roll it off your shoulders, I lose a match and I take it personally. You call yourself a Rockstar, a Rebel to these people. I am a wrestler and the Voice of these people. I have had the worst year of my career and you've been World Champion, I'm happy for that but what pisses me off is that you should be having a match tonight and Eric Bishoff is playing damage control trying to save face and keep you off TV-"
"What do you mean keep me off TV? Punk I came here tonight to wrestle and I was told to do those interviews not because of Eric Bishoff but because I was instructed to. The day after I lost my title I wanted to be back but I was tossed aside and told no, you got yourself suspended when a little cruiserweight Prince Devitt beat you for the third time and instead of being an adult about it you fired venom from the mouth so don't turn this around on me like it's my fault that 2013 was the Year of the Rockstar and the year the last match you won was against Joey Mercury on All*Star Wrestling."
"Whoa whoa hold on, before you start spitting out Venom your mouth can't handle. Look Morrison, I like you, don't get me wrong I think you're great but while you were World Champion, Samoa Joe was having A+ matches and Stone Cold Steve Austin was raising Hell in ROH, all you were doing was on cruise control fighting against, Joey Mercury that C+ player and Christopher Daniels whom no one believed in and I won't deny you didn't have some epic title matches and you're a great guy in the ring but when it came to carrying the ball we weren't talking about Morrison's Title reign we were talking about everything else and you were in the right place at the right time. I'm a Pro Wrestler, I take defeat very seriously and if my stock goes down for facing you in a match so be it, but these fans know, eventually, we're going to have to settle this."
"Any time anywhere Punk, you name the venue and I'll prove to you
[Play Out Bishoff]
"Wine wine bitch and moan that's all I hear in that ring right now. Both of you are lucky to be in the ring righ tnow as you two have been the two biggest pains in the ass all year. CM Punk losing left and right and Morrison being a World Champion that I had to build and promote from the ground up. Both of you were given a shot, you both blew it, if I had my way you'd be outta here while the professionals wrestle and not air their grievances on air. But it seems you two want to fight and you're certainly not going to do it on Monday Night Raw and you're not going to do it for free. So if you two want, you two can face off at Starrcade V.......and to make this interesting because I'm tired of both of you, whomever loses their match, will no longer have a job here in the NWA. One week boys, think it over."
Whoa, what a bombshell that was, Punk and Morrison ready to retort but knew Bishoff wasn't in the mood. A career ending match at Starrcade V? Punk shot the venom and Morrison shot it back, looking to each other in the ring now not sure if they wanted to do this or not, Bishoff obviously being the one to pull the strings here as Nitro would cut to a break.
[Play Out]
"Wooo, your World Champion is here and I come alone, standing before you in retort to my match at Starrcade V. You see I, am the greatest champion of all time. I dress in this suit and tie that cost me $550,000, wear alligator shoes that cost mroe than the admission to get in here combined, I wear a rolex watch that costs more than your cars, these sunglasses will set you back a mortgage payment, cufflinks get a shot of these that would feed a 3rd World Country, Wooo I am Styled and Profiled to the 10's and Ric Flair holds the richest prize in the World and that's this, the World Heavyweight Championship and so, they call me and tell me to voice my opinion on my opponent at Starrcade V, a man whom I have been up and down the road with through time and back.
Ha, let me break it down, you see you people look at me, and you say God, that man is a champion, that man is life, I want to be like Ric Flair just for a second so I know what it's like to be a winner. You look at a man like Sting you and see that he covers his face in shame of himself, he wears that long trench coat that carries the weight of the world on his shoulders because he wants to be a martyr. Who would want to be Sting or emulate himself after Sting? He went from a Surf Rocker to a Clown in horrible make up and the only reason why he did is because his gimmick was getting old so he watched a movie and transformed himself into something relevant. I've always been Ric Flair, I've always styled and profiled and these people never got tired of it, I am the 17 Time Champion and I dont' care what Sting is, you want to persecute me and act like you're an Angel or something, I'll beat you into the ground. I've been to the top of the mountain and lowest ditch on earth and Ric Flair has always and will always win, I'm not afraid of you Sting and mark my words at Starrcade V I'm going to beat you outta this business once and foreall. You want to hide behind shadows and make a promo on me instead of coming out here like a man and telling it to my face? I'm Ric Flair, The Greatest of the Great, The Best of the Best, I will fight this entire arena to prove it and make every woman scream out for mercy if I have to. Don't talk to me about Samoa Joe, Steve Austin or even Keiji Mutoh because they couldn't carry my jockstrap, go 60-80 minutes, they couldn't style or profile, they're candles will burn out but mine will burn forever! Sting you come out here right now, ha..ha...and I'll fight you right now yeah!"
[Play Out]
Sting slowly made his way down to the ring, officials actually trying to restrain him knowing Champion and Challenge were not allowed to touch, Sting moving into the ring and went face to face with Flair whom put the bad mouth on him, giving Sting a push as Sting fired back with a right hand. Justice was being served and Flair was dropped down but the Horsemen spilled into the ring and started to beat upon him, kicking and stomping on him with Tire Irons, making sure to nearly blungen him over the head, removing his jacket and just stomped on him in a gang war.
Flair got a steel chair, tossing his jacket and shirt away and cracked it over Sting's head, mounting him and started to punch at him, blood all over his fists as officials had pulled the Horsemen out of the ring, leaving Stig a beaten bloody mess of a heep in the ring. Flair fixing his watch heading up the ramp as he and the Horsemen rose their fingers up, Sting using the ropes to pull himself up, lacerated from ear to ear, a message sent that he wasn't facing Flair, he was facing an army and Monday Nitro would fade to black.
New Japan Pro
The show was centered around the Rey de Reyes match however on scene for the evening was Sara Del Rey whom said finally she was getting a reliable opponent at Starrcade and it would be an honor destroying Trish Stratus.
Trish did have a match against Winter whom was very upset that she didn't win the battle royale, having a ten minute battle with Trish whom in the end scored the win with the Stratusfaction, pointing at the banner saying Trish was back.
It was time for the Rey de Reyes Tournament which featured, Joey Mercury, Owen Hart, Tiger Mask, Ultimo Dragon, Prince Devitt, La Sombra, Kazarian, Helms, Eddie G, Benoit, Cody Rhodes, and Richie Steamboat.
The match carried out to 42 minutes with Devitt being the most arrogant of them all, eliminating the most men being Rhodes, Mask and Sombra before being tossed to the floor, Owen shocking the world as he got out Ultimo Dragon, Owen being eliminated by Benoit, Benoit quickly rolled up by Eddie, Steamboat getting out Mercury, Kazarian taking out Helms and Steamboat as it came down to two.
Devitt and Kazarian were the last two men in the match, Devitt ordering the club back stage through the whole thing and had a ten minute classic, Kazarian dropping him with the Kaz Krash Buster, almost getting the pinfall there, Devitt feining a knee injury catching Kaz off guard with a dropkick to his knee, finishing him off with the Silver Bullet and scored the victory.
Acting like he had the biggest cock in the world he would strut around the ring with his title belt, pointing at the Banner and shot the gun at it, saying that it wasn't Destiny or Fate, it was truth and he was now officially, coming after Taka as New Japan Pro came to a close.
Week 2
"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Monday Nitro, what a show we have in store for you tonight as the #1 Contendership for the Tag Team Championship featuring the Bullet Club and Harlem Heat, Keiji Mutoh defends the IWGP Championship Tonight and Barry Windham faces Hayabusa and also we'll get the answer to the career vs. career match, and with the sound of that lets get Nitro started."
[Play Out]
What an opener here tonight as Keiji Mutoh was defending against Kenta Kobashi and this was one match that completely made the rest of the roster cry knowing they couldn't follow it. Kenta was stiff, stiffer than usual as he really wanted that championship gold, actually getting Keiji over the mouth, chopping over his chest with hard shots, tossing him around the ring, lifting him up for the Burning Hammer but Keiji slid behind him, catching him with a wheel kick following up with the Shining Wizard for the victory.
Keiji was exhausted, busted over the mouth getting his title belt and placed it over his shoulder, the match clocking in at 21 minutes and change, Kenta holding his jaw and would raise his hand in honor, giving a light bow and left the ring, Keiji taking a moment before exiting himself.
[Play Out]
Hayabusa against Barry Windham whom was ready to just tear him apart, Busa using his speed to avoid him for the first few minutes, leaping over, through and around the ropes to crash and splash on him, Windham losing his temper kicking the stairs and the apron, having to refocus trying to wear Busa down with rest holds.
Windham finally caught a break able to catch Busa in mid air, slamming him down with a fallaway slam, now using his size and strength to completely kill him. In the corner he would toss him and ram him, picking him up and slammed him with authority, playing around with him, calling him a weakling before taking his head off over the ropes to the floor.
Windham would continue with the offense, charging in but made one mistake, Busa dropkicking his knee sending him sailing headfirst into the barricade, Busa following up with a dropsault on the side of the skull, rolling into the ring where Dillion went after him, this gave Windham a chance to recover and grab a chair, swinging but missed, Busa dropkicking it in his head then rolled him into a crucifix for the victory.
Busa won but Windham attacked him from behind, stomping him in the corner grabbing the chair to finish him off when it was pulled out of his hands by Chono, whom swung and missed, Windham getting the hell out of there with Dillion saying this wasn't over. Chono helped Hayabusa up, holding his hand then pulled him in slightly, giving a slight nod as Busa turned his head looking at the Starrcade V Banner, then back to Chono with a nod as it seemed that match was on, Chono leaving the ring as Busa took a moment getting what he wanted, we then cut to a break.
[Devitt Promo]
British Commonweath Championship, British Cruiserweight Champion, Best of the Super Jr.s Twice, Middleweight Champion..and IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion...all these titles, are bullets in the chamber of the revolver of life that I weild. Taka, I won't sit here and dismiss your accolades, for 20 months, you have been a god in the Cruiserweight Division, the greatest champion of the world, until I set foot into the NWA. I told the world that I would be facing you for your championship and in just a few weeks, the greatest match in the world will take place.
Taka, I have walked where you've walked, been where you've been and wrestled whom you wrestled and put them all down and I'm not even in the peak of my career. I didn't need to win some stupid tournament to prove my status, nor go through the cruiserweight Division to get where I'm at now, I told you since day one it would be you and me. You sit there an call yourself Invincible, but the truth is, no one is invincible, not even God. A bullet to the back of the head will kill anyone at point blank range or from afar, and at Starrcade V Taka, your career as Cruiserweight Champion is going to come to an end as I put the bullet right between your eyes.
The only option you have is quick, so quick, that your end is painless, no tears, no fear, no anguish. Or, I can wrestle you to the limit, blow your body up, shoot it down limb from limb, and when you're bloody, broken and beaten to the point where breathing is murder, I'll stand over you, let you see the chamber, let you experience hell as the hammer cocks and the sound of bone is crushed and echoes in your mind as you fade into subconscious and your life as Cruiserweight Champion...comes to an end.
See you in just a few weeks Taka, you time is over, and the Throne of Devitt, has begun.

#1 Contendership for the Tag Team Championship, Club against Heat whom had no problem in taking out their frustrations out on the club wishing it was the Horsemen, Serena on the outside barking out orders as Sherri kept her team in line, The Club having to regroup before taking control.
The Club had the upper hand, putting the hurt on Stevie and Booker respectively, seeming to be a fresher condition wise team, using several high calibur and double team moves to wear them down, almost having the win with the Sunset Rider but Stevie broke it up, Heat able to take control in the later half, Sherri keeping Serena in place as they went at it, during the small melee on the floor, Booker slammed Gotoh with the Bookends for the victory.
They were now officially the number one contenders as they celebrated in the ring, saying Texas was the perfect venue to bring those titles home, Serena on the outside knowing Devitt would be pissed once finding out these results as heat headed up the ramp.
[Play Out]
Morrison vs Perfect and he knew he had no room for error tonight, going right after Perfect with his high flying game, actually having a more aggressive side, taking it to Perfect the best he could though one mistake gave Henning a chance to strike back.
He used his chance to wear Morrison down, using rest holds and wrestling, having just as much pinash and spice as ever, Morrison actually getting cut hardway over the eye, accident or not as he was sent to the floor.
Perfect followed after him, turning it almost into a brawl tossing Morrison into the ring whom struck back with his high flying game, getting more unorthodox to throw him off his game, avoiding a suplex and nailed Perfect with a Nitroblast for the victory. He rolled to his feet, rubbing his eye a bit asking for a mic
"Phew, well, I guess I should take this match seriously or else I'll be shown as not taking it seriously. Last week myself and C.M. Punk exchanged words back and forth, it got heated and he proposed to kick my ass right here in the center of the ring, well don't let your center of gravity strike twice Punk because the Punk Universe is about to get rocked. I may not be the orthodox, boring Pro Wrestler that when he loses he cuts a fiften minute promo and complains about how a wrestling company screws him and that they went with someone else. Punk you and I have never touched, at Starrcade I made my debut on an interview with Christian Cage and Drew McIntyre and both of those guys are gone and I'm still here. Fast forward a year later, I'm United States Champion, a title you held for ten months, that I beat by two. You win the World Championship and lose it in six, I held it for eight and while you had an Army in your corner to protect you, I had no one but these people to feed off of.
I could throw the fact that I've won match of the year...twice, that I've been voted in having the Moment of the Year and being Good Guy of the Year and even having the Fued of the Year when Punk you, haven't, had, anything but a downward spiral into the abyss of defeat and loss. I will be the first to admit, I'm not Samoa Joe or Stone Cold but at least I gave these people something to cheer for. You Punk had all the momentum going for you in the world, you praise your own philosophy and got beat by Ric Flair...whom I've beaten twice, and have done nothing but lose.
Punk, you're a cool guy, but the world does not revolve around you, your'e one of those guys that if he doesn't get his way, he lets the whole world know just to soak up a little bit of the spotlight since your hands are cold from misopportunity. I will not deny how dammed talented you are, but instead of coming out here and bitching and moaning how I of all people eliminated you, why not self improve or better yet, accept that you're simply not, the best in the world..because as of 2013, John Morrison, on this stage, was.
I've been here five years just like you have and we have never, ever had a cross word or one run in or scuffle, this would be the first and only time we touch in this ring, at the one event where I debuted 5 years ago, you want to take all that frustration all that anger and all that hard work that you've put in and toss it away to challenge me at Starrcade because God Forbid C.M. Punk not have a match on that show...then so be it. Punk, Bishoff laid out the Blueprints and I'm calling it a match, Bishoff, I accept the terms and have no problem in putting it all on the line at Starrcade V. So my answer because I'm 'not a wrestler' is yes."
[Punk Promo]
With that Punk and Morrison would stare at each other, ready to fight right there but held off, knowing Starrcade woudl come soon enough, the vemon was spat and the fans now had to choose a side, Morrison and Punk stating their cases, now, only time would tell as we prepared for the main event.

Steamboat against Kane, a rematch from a few months ago and Ricky went right after him, Kane not afraid to show him his growing wrestling prowess but Steamboat was no slouch nor was he taking this match lightly.
Sullivan was on the floor guiding traffic, guding Kane to victory the best he could but Steamboat had turned up the intensity, not allowing Kane much ground even if he had a strength and size game, Ricky able to clothesline him to he floor, Kane pulling him outside as they would battle, Kane getting the upper hand and tossed him into the ring, now starting to wear and tear on him.
Steamboat refused to stay down tonight, turning things around using his speed and striking game, catching Kane with the flying chop knocking him down upon his back. He went for the cover but Sullivan distracted the ref, Ricky pulling him into the ring and started to attack him, Kane sitting up and caught Ricky from behind, chokeslamming him down when Richie flew into the ring.
The ref tossed the match out as it obviously went to a melee, Sullivan pulling Kane to the outside, Ricky calling them back into the ring to finish this once and foreall, Sullivan getting on the stage way having a mic in hand.
"You want to finish this Steamboat? You want to face the wrath of Kane, then you will have to do it with the company of myself at Starrcade V and you can bring your unfortunate waste of human seed of a son with you as well."
Ricky held his son back but obviously the answer was yes, Steamboat saying they'd be there as Sullivan pulled Kane to the back, we were pulled in by Todd.
"Wow folks those were some harsh words said by Kevin Sullivan but it seems the Steamboat's are going to rally together and face off against Sullivan and Kane at Starrcade V. We're taking this small intermission to late breaking news that has just come to my attention that a huge announcement is to be made on Saturday Night, so huge that President DM is holding a press conference about it so make sure you catch that on Saturday Night...and that's the sound of our Champion so lets take you back to the ring."

"Last week, I, The Nature Boy Ric Flair, came down to this ring and put Sting right in his place. I told him and the world that if he messes with Ric Flair, he will get hurt and hurt he did as he was sent bleeding to the hospital where they stitched him up and told him not to return to the ring for the week to heal up! This Aspect of Justice he calls himself has proven to the world that he's weak and broken and Ric Flair is unbreakable, unbeatable and Undisputed. Sting, while you sit at home with the worst concussion you've ever had, let me tell you, that no matter how you plan on being at Starrcade it won't be enough. If my Horsemen don't do you in first, I'll be the one to make sure the dirt on your grave is wet with the tears of defeat. You act holier than thou and I have been here since day one, never turned my back, never retreated, never went home, I am as Loyal to these people who turned their backs on me, loyal to his company and never betrayed my colors what so ever. I made you a Horsemen once and you traded that in for a match with the Undertaker, you lost, left us high and dry forcing me to reform while you hid in the shadows as some kind of Minister of Fate. Who the hell are you to tell me of my sins when we never even see you around and as proof to how I feel about you...when we were beating you into a pulp, you notice how no one, not one wrestler in the back came out here to help you or help you fight against us? That's because they have abandoned you, they don't believe in your Brand anymore, you're finished, you're done, and at Starrcade it'll be the same exact thing with me, the Champion, standing over you proving ring dominance and you'll be laying here, or over here, or maybe over here even, beaten, bloody lost and forgotten, just like you career here as everyone, the fans, the locker room the world, has forgotten and foresaken you-"
[Play Out Dusty]
"Pardon me for the instrusion, but Nature Boy that's where you're wrong, you see, many of us are tired of the tyranical mob you call Horsemen running this show rough shot and being pardoned of ever sin you commit. It's not that no one decided to come help the man they call Sting, it's because we didn't think you were the coward that you were needing the help of 3 men to take out 1. You and I have traveled up and down the road together as enemies always and now I stand right here, standing up to you and the Horsemen because unlike your theory, I never turn my back on anyone and as long as Ric Flair breathes Dusty Rhodes will to and I don't fight for me, I fight for the same reason why Sting fights and that's for this company we helped put together. You bloodied and battered Sting because you had the power, but I'm taking that power back jack, you wanna dance with the Texas Native you go right ahead cause it'll be easier pickings for Sting in the end. I'm not the voice of the locker room but you tread on me Flair and very soon Sting won't be the only man you'll have to look over your shoulder for. "
"As long as you breathe huh, well then I guess we better do something about that then."
He would drop the mic as the Horsemen started to make their way down to the ring, having tire irons in their hands ready to crucify Dusty if given the word, Dusty keeping an eye on both sides, knowing he was a rock in a hard place here, they were about to beat Dusty like they beat Sting.

It seemed Dusty didn't come alone as Harlem Heat and Vader came from the curtain, ready for a fight as they made their way down and a fight ensued, a literal melee old school NWA Style here, Dillion actually getting his hands dirty to give the Horsemen a slight edge in this one here, Flair in the ring going at it with Dusty, blasting him over the head with a pair of knucks, punching away at his head trying to bust him open-

When from the rafters in half face paint was Sting whom turned Flair around off of Dusty and hit him square in the ribs with the ball bat with authority. Flair held his ribs and rolled to the floor, trying to get the wind back inside of him, The Horsemen retreating with Flair saying this was far from over and Sting was a dead man walking who...picked up the mic.
"The blood you spilled from my forehead last week...I'm going to use on your epitaph."
Sting dropped the mic as Flair charged at the ring, The Horsemen pulling him back as it seemed Sting, had a bit of back up and he wouldn't be going at this title match alone if need be, Sting having the bat in hand ready for any one of them to try him, Flair cursing out saying Starrcade couldn't come fast enough as Monday Nitro would fade, to black.
New Japan - War
The first big announcement was New Japan's Saturday Show was officially called 'War' which Inoki thought was clever but said that was the first of the big announcements.
Match one had featured Natalya defeating Tamina via roll up.
Match two in grand fashion had Manami Toyotoa defeat Winter via Queen Bee Bomb.
Match Three featured Cody Rhodes defeating Joseph Mercury with the CrossRhodes.
And Match Four saw La Sombra go to a 12 minute fast paced bout with Helms, scoring the win with the Headscissor Stunner.
At the end of the night, Inoki came down to the ring with President DM standing in the ring, shaking hands while press would snap photos, the live announcement was next.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to thank Antonio Inoki for this show here tonight showcasing perhaps the best two divisions the NWA has and to congradulate him on a successful year on running the Saturday show. As we split the rosters up into each company we know that Starrcade is right around the corner and this major announcement could not be made on Nitro due to respect for Mr. Inoki, so I would like to ask current I.W.G.P. World Champion Keiji Mutoh to please come down to the ring."

"Ladies and Gentlemen this man here is our current I.W.G.P. Champion and he has defended it against top tier talent such as Barry Windham, Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Vader, Ricky Steamboat, C.M. Punk, Bryan Danielson, Kurt Angle just to name a few. Being a traveling Champion having to defend the championship at the drop of a hat we understand is difficult so we are giving you two weeks in preperation for your Match at Starrcade V. In a match booked just 6 days ago. Ladies and Gentlemen all around the world, Starrcade V will have the most epic bouts this world has ever seen and no less this featured match as Keiji Mutoh will be defending the I.W.G.P. World Heavyweight Championship against...this man."

If only you could be there live, Bret Hart made his way down to the ring, entering as he and Mutoh would lock eyes, shaking hands as the IWGP Championship was raised over their heads, photo flares going all over the place as this match was made official for Starrcade V as New Japan War, came to a close.
