Tony Schiavone: WCW Saturday Night is on the air! Hello wrestling fans, I'm Tony Schiavone and as you can see, with me this week is not a Body, not a Brain, but a Flamingo. Scotty Flamingo to be exact, and what an hour of action we have in store for you tonight here on TBS, the superstation.
Scotty Flamingo: Oh contraire Bony Maronie. I'm every bit a body as the last guy that was out here, in fact, you can even call me Scotty "The Body" Flamingo, because I'm ever better! And you said it, a great night of action we have in store for these fans, these common folk, and I just hope that by the end of tonight, doctors and hospitals across the United States are ready for it, because Flamingo fever will be sweeping the nation! Not me of course, I don't do any actual sweeping myself, I have people that do that for me because I don't touch that sort of stuff.
Tony Schiavone: Well why don't you tell these people what's in store for them?
Scotty Flamingo: That's your job. I shouldn't have to do everything out here! Over the hour, we're going to see ... well, you tell them.
Tony Schiavone: You have no idea do you? Alright, well in our main event tonight, it's going to be Sting taking on 1 half of Harlem Heat in Stevie Ray. Also here tonight, the TV champion Lord Steven Regal will join us in non title action, the undefeated Yoshi Kwan is with us, and-
Scotty Flamingo: I'll take it from here. Those dirty, disgusting, filthy Nasty Boys will be here. Why? I have no idea, but it could be that the people here relate better to those like themselves. Forget a tag team like Beautiful Bobby and Chris Benoit, they wouldn't set foot in a place like this. I think after tonight, I might need to be disinfected Bony Maronie! I can see the flies circling already with them here in the building.
Tony Schiavone: That's Tony ... Schia- anyway. We have a lot in store for you tonight, so stay with us for all the action, here on WCW Saturday Night.

Col. Robert Parker is interviewed about the unannounced return of Sid Vicious this past Monday on Nitro. Parker says that he is glad to see Sid back, although he does not know what to make of his return because he was not alerted to it ahead of time. He hopes that The Masters of The Power Bomb will pick up exactly where they left off and that all his hard work did not go to waste. Normally they could go after the WCW Tag Team Titles, but not anymore as he has The Hollywood Blonds in place to do that this Monday after their non title victory this past week, who themselves are busy training. This Monday he intends to get answers out of Sid, and he hopes that together with The Blonds, Sid will respect his place, and the 4 of them can be 1 big happy Stud Stable.
Match #1
The Nasty Boys defeated Rip Rogers and Mike Thor when Saggs pinned Rogers after an elbow drop from the top rope, following a power slam from Knobbs. Flamingo further rips into The Nasty Boys, repeatedly calling them "The Nancy Boys" as if that were some huge insult. Schiavone would love to see what would happen if they fought Flamingo's team of Eaton and Benoit, a match that Flamingo says can easily be arranged as long as Turner executives provide his men with sanitation suits to wear to the ring so they do not catch disease against the walking biohazards that are "The Nancy Boys".

Shane Douglas is interviewed about his opportunity this Monday at the TV Title held by Lord Steven Regal. He points out that first he came this close in their time limit draw. Then Jean Paul Levesque interferes at the Clash of the Champions and cost him the match via count out. He thinks though that he proved Monday on Nitro with his victory over Levesque that he is ready for another shot, a chance he receives this Monday night on Nitro. He vows to leave as the new TV champion and while not a Horseman in training anymore, he will show the world that he stands alone as his own man, and bring the TV Title back to the U.S.A. where it rightfully belongs.
Match #2
Yoshi Kwan defeated Scott Stud via submission with The Sleeping Dragon. Flamingo is sure he has seen Stud before, probably took his order once at Checkers or something when he was trying to assimilate with the average man. Schiavone asks if maybe as a prior opponent, but Flamingo dismisses that because a low level wrestler like that would never be in the ring with somebody like himself. Kwan wins with ease, as Flamingo wonders if maybe he can come over and do that move to Schiavone so he can call the rest of the show by himself.

STARRCADE CONTROL CENTER
- Eric Bischoff is standing by with the final installment. The event comes to fans, live on PPV from Charlotte, North Carolina on Sunday night, December 29, with a start time of 7pm eastern. The first Starrcade was held in 1983, this year's edition marking the 10th anniversary. And they will be doing so in a big way, as already signed, first time ever! The WCW debut of Hulk Hogan, as he goes 1 on 1 with Sting! Also, The Nature Boy Ric Flair challenges Ravishing Rick Rude for the World Title, looking to become World champion for a 9th time in his hometown. More matches will be announced in the weeks to come. It all comes your way December 29, only on PPV. WCW presents the 10th anniversary of Starrcade, don't miss it!
Match #3
Lord Steven Regal defeated Tommy Angel via submission with the Regal Stretch in a non title match. An easy win for Regal as he prepares for Shane Douglas on Monday. Flamingo asks whatever happened to his old butler that used to come out with him. Schiavone says that he smartened up and got a better job. Flamingo wonders what job could possibly be better than waiting hand and foot on the TV champion, aside of course from waiting hand and foot on himself. He then points out he himself has had so many servants over the years, that unlike Schiavone, he gets Regal's plight because good help is hard to find, and even harder to keep around this time of year when he has to fire everybody so that he does not have to give any of them a Christmas bonus.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Cold Scorpio and Marcus Alexander Bagwell are interviewed about their match this Monday with The Hollywood Blonds. Bagwell says that the loss this past Monday was a small setback, but even they cannot ignore that since aligning with Col. Robert Parker, The Blonds have managed to turn their fortunes around. They went from near the bottom and could be back on top Monday, but the 2 of them learn from their mistakes and will not lose to The Blonds a second time. Scorpio says that there are a lot of tag teams out there ready for a shot from The Road Warriors to The Nasty Boys, but they are only concerned with Monday. He says that he saw the return of Sid Vicious and if Parker has any ideas about using the big man to get involved, he had better think twice because they have seen it all out here, but The Blonds have never seen anything like the 450 Splash.

Match #4
Sting defeated Stevie Ray via submission with The Scorpion Death Lock. During the match, Booker T would come out to help his Harlem Heat bredren. While successful in interference at first, he would be combated by a surprise ally for Sting in The Nature Boy Ric Flair! After the match, Sting was standoffish from Flair, unsure what to think of him with allegations that he may be The Black Scorpion still out there. Flamingo however goes another way early on here, teasing all match that he knows who The Black Scorpion is and will reveal it at the end of the match. When the time came and Schiavone asked, Flamingo asks for $100 in exchange for the info. Schiavone calls him unreal, but Flamingo just says that with the low pay that WCW gives him, he needs to make it back somehow or pretty soon they will take away his luxury yacht and he will have no way of getting to his private island.
Ric Flair is interviewed about what just transpired, and wastes no time calling Sting over to the interview area. Sting walks over and Flair says that this all ends right now. Given what just happened, he wants to clear the air on Monday and offer himself as a partner to team up with Sting against Harlem Heat. Sting says thanks, but no thanks, he can handle his own battles. Flair tells him that the only way he can clear his name is to be by Sting's side and unlike that chump Brother Brutus, vowing to watch his back, Flair will do 1 better and step in the line of fire. Sting says that Flair has a point and if he is out there, that could clear Flair's name if The Scorpion tries anything, but warns him not to cross him or stab him in the back because as sure as he has the match with Hulk Hogan that any wrestler would want, Flair has the match with Rick Rude for the World Title that he could very well go after come 1994, and this is a 2 way street. Flair offers a handshake, but Sting just walks away and says he will see him Monday on Nitro.
Tony Schiavone closes the show by reminding viewers to tune in this coming Monday for Nitro on TNT at 8pm eastern, and to come back next week at 6:05 for more WCW on Saturday Night. Until then, so long!
