PLEASE MICK, SAY “I QUIT”: They show highlights of the “I Quit” match between Mankind and the Rock at the Royal Rumble where Mick once again got SCREWED out of the WWF title. On last week’s RAW, Mankind challenged the Rock to an empty arena match during the Super Bowl 33 halftime show. In fact, this episode is aptly named HaLFTIME HeAT.

They start the show with a flashback to last week’s Thunder when Vincent (or Vince as he wants to be called now) proclaimed he was the new leader of the nWo B&W (while wearing an nWo Wolfpac t-shirt) and realized he was being filmed. As it turns out, the people watching him were the nWo Wolfpac dudes (Hogan, Nash, etc.) hanging out in their limo. They did not look happy and let the crew know what time it is.

AUSTIN, YOU HAVE NO CHANCE IN HELL. We start the show with a video package of Vince and his Corporation reminding everyone he’s placed a $100,000 bounty for whoever can eliminate Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Royal Rumble match – because tonight is the ROYAL RUMBLE!
Onto the Arrowhead Pond, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN arrives at the VIP parking area in his Ford F-150. When the security guy who stops Austin lets him know this parking area for limos only, Austin does a wild U-turn in his truck – leaving tire marks and smoke everywhere – as he goes to find parking elsewhere.

WCW Cruiserweight Champion: Billy Kidman (11/22/1998)
We begin Nitro with EXCITING STILL SHOTS of the WCW Souled Out PPV – more specifically of the Ric and David Flair versus Barry Windham and Curt Hennig match. I don’t think Tony actually mentions that the Flairs won the match (just that Arn Anderson helped out the Horsemen) because he immediately pivots to talk about the nWo Wolfpac’s appearance – beating up young David while his father was handcuffed to the middle rope and forced to helplessly watch it all go down.
