We fade to the announcers desks with the NWA announcering trio of Joey Styles, David McLane & Jesse "The Body' Ventura welcome the fans to today's show tape live before a capacity crowd at the Summit in Houston, Texas. Doing our ring announcing is Mike McGuirk. Our interviewer is Eden Stiles. NWA referees tonight are James Beard, Brian Hildebrand & Charles Robinson.
Before the first match begins, manager James J. Dillon joins the announcing trio with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. A proud Dillon presents Austin with the $50,000 check to taking out Harley Race last week. Steve takes the check then tells J.J. - ''You know J.J., I didn't do it for the money although it will buy me a lot of six packs. Son, I want that NWA World's Belt that Buddy Rogers is walking around with. You can pass that message on to him. I will be seeing him in the ring real soon!' Austin leaves & Dillon is stunned & speechless.
Match 1. Single Match. Ken Lucas sleepered Austin Aries in a see-saw match. (9:41).
Stiles interviews Nikita Koloff who says he is here to be the No. 1 wrestler in the world. He wants that NWA World's Heavyweight Belt held by 'The Original Nature Boy' Buddy Rogers & will do what is necessary to win it.
