A mere weeks ago, an outsider invaded WCW Monday Nitro. Now, with help from his big surprise, we find out who the 3rd outsider is and WCW goes to war.
As The Outsiders, referred to as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, stand in the ring, Mean Gene Okerlund heads to the ring to find out where the 3rd man is. The Outsiders tell Gene that he's here and ready and they have enough to deal with things right here.
The Outsiders vs. Lex Luger, Randy Savage & Sting
In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, The Outsiders had majority of control with Luger and Sting down outside the ring and Savage in the ring as Hall calls for a finisher when suddenly the crowd erupts...
Hulk Hogan is here! Hogan hits the ring and The Outsiders backoff to the outside of the ring. Hogan rips his shirt and dares The Outsiders to come into the ring as the crowd comes unglued! Suddenly, Hogan shoves the referee and hits a Legdrop on Savage!
Bobby Heenan: "He's the third man!"
Hogan gives a thumbs up to The Outsiders before delivering another Legdrop to Savage. Hogan lays on top of Savage while Scott Hall goes down and counts a three-count. Sting and Luger try to make their way back into the ring, but are quickly taken out by The Outsiders.
Mean Gene Okerlund comes out and Hulk Hogan calls out all the fans, telling them to stick it as he calls this the New World Order of professional wrestling.
Tony Schiavone: "Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell".
