World Championship Wrestling is in turmoil. Hollywood Hogan joining the nWo in July spelled major trouble, as they have taken over! Beat downs, spray paint and utter humiliation. WCW wrestlers such as the Macho Man, Sting & Ric Flair have not been able to stall the tidal wave that is the New World Order.

Having defeated WCW's greatest warriors at WarGames, the nWo are riding high, and in this episode, complete the takeover. An absolute hijack of the show. And of course another beat down of the Macho Man, as Hollywood Hogan prepares for his next opponent by continuously humiliating him.

The Wrestling Expert & The Frozen Asian join the show to review this classic footage...
