We're in the midst of a hostile takeover, as Hollywood Hogan and the Outsiders have recruited Ted DiBiase and the Giant to join their New World Order faction, and they are taking over WCW. But WCW wrestlers have vowed to fight back, as Sting and Lex Luger have joined members of the 4 Horsemen to take on the NWO at WarGames. But one week after Sting stole a police car to chase after the nWo, he is no where to be found, and his team mates are questioning his commitment to the cause...

We got Vlad "The Wrestling Expert" and Robert "The Frozen Asian" on the show to review this historical footage.
