The Match:
The camera comes up to show the jam-packed SkyDome. NBC logos are all around the ring next to WWF logos. Sting is in the ring next to Woman, Elizabeth, the Enforcers, and Flair. Then, Macho Man's music starts to play!

Savage comes down the aisle slowly. The Mega Powers are with him. He stops mid-aisle and spins around as fireworks go off behind him. He jumps up on the apron, looking very tranquil. Flair struts around a little bit, dancing with Elizabeth... and Savage goes NUTS!

Macho runs for Flair, but Sting intercepts! Savage clotheslines Sting and knocks him down, then starts putting the boots to him! Savage pulls him up by the hair and struggles with him... Sting comes out on top... REVERSE DDT!!!!! Sting, with Macho down, starts to use the Aerial rules! He climbs, LEGALLY to the top rope... FLYING DROP PUNCH!!!

Atlantra: I don't know if I really care who wins this match. But if I were to chose, I would have to go with Sting.

Pillman: That's because Sting's not a CHICKEN like the Macho Man is. Savage is too scared to use the ropes like Sting will.

Sting stands up... Macho gets up... Sting SPRINGBOARDS off the second rope... CROSS BODY BLOCK!!! Sting backs up to the top rope again... FLYING ABDOMINAL SPLASH!!!! Sting goes back up to the top again... FLYING DROP PUNCH... NO ONE HOME! Macho rolls out of the way at the last second! He gets up to his feet.... and STOMPS down on Sting, then leans over the top rope, taking a swing at Flair. The Nature Boy backs away and WHOOS up at him, then kisses Elizabeth!

Savage pulls up Sting... HE'S ANGRY! Reverse DDT of his own! Macho stomps him hard... then fires him to the corner!!!! Flair struts along the apron outside and Savage looks to him... but decides to continue against Sting. He runs at Sting... but he took too long because of Flair.....STING JUMPS UP OUT OF THE WAY AND SAVAGE CRASHES IN THE CORNER!!!!

Sting jumps down from the ropes.... AND MISSES A SPLASH... but he looks okay. Sting pulls Macho's head up from the mat and starts jabbing him with punches. Savage rises up... DOUBLE AXEHANDLE!

Savage gets to his feet over Sting... and starts swinging him in a neckbreaker! Flair at ringside, keeps taunting Macho Man. Savage swings... NECKBREAKER! Macho goes to the top rope.... FLYING ELBOWDROP!!!!!

Savage doesn't go for the pin! He keeps beating on Sting! Sting fights back, throwing in a cheap scratch! Sting punches Savage to the mat, following him down with a LEGDROP! Sting goes back to the corner...FLYING KNEEDROP! Elizabeth points up to the corner again... and Sting goes all the way up.....

FLYING ABDOMINAL SPLASH!!! Sting looks like he's trying to HURT Savage bad! He yanks him up by HIS hair.... STINGER DEATH DROP!!!! Sting pulls him up again... Savage kicks him to the stomach. Sting backs away, clutching his gut.

Savage goes up to the top. Woman tries to shake the ropes... but Savage jumps off in time... MISSILE DROPKICK... AND STING LEAPS UP FOR A DROPKICK OF HIS OWN!!!! BOTH MEN GO DOWN, TANGLED IN EACH OTHER!!!!

Sting begins to come around after a few moments... and from the mat... HE BEGINS TO PUT ON THE SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Savage blocks and gets up to his feet. Sting kips up. Savage HEADBUTTS STING!

Macho readys himself to lay into Sting... but Flair grabs his leg from the outside! Savage looks down... AND STING NAILS HIM WITH A JUMPING KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Savage staggers a bit... and Sting takes him down with a CROSS BODY BLOCK!

The two brawl around on the mat with fists and kicks. Macho comes out on top and gets to his feet. He stomps on Sting... then runs to the ropes to get at Flair. The referee gets between him....FLAIR IS LAUGHING! Savage tries to spin around the ref to get outside... but the ref holds him back!

Sting is getting to his feet! Savage turns around...INTO A HEAD SCISSOR TAKEDOWN!!!! Sting pops up... SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!!!!!! Savage is spun around and Sting sits back... in the MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!!

The referee gets down into position to ask Savage if he'll submit. The Mega Powers urge him on, clapping their hands. Flair continues to taunt Savage. Sting let's out a HOOOOWLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! The referee checks on Savage.... HE SURRENDERS!!!! NOBODY GETS OUT OF THE DEATH LOCK!!!! BUT STING IS LEAVING IT ON!!!! THE BELL IS RINGING!!!!!

The Legion of Doom jump into the ring and Sting breaks the hold and backs up. The Enforcers get into the ring... and GO FACE TO FACE WITH THE ROAD WARRIORS!!!!!!!

Savage rolls out of the ring, favoring one leg....and charges after Flair, who ducks behind Woman and Elizabeth, keeping Savage out of the action. Beefcake makes a move toward Woman, carrying his hedge clippers! She screams and runs. Savage starts to run at them... Woman and Liz duck out of the way. Flair goes running......

Winner, by submission: Sting

The Road Warriors and Enforcers back away from each other, never taking their eyes off one another. The Hart Foundation watches cautiously. The Anvil looking around... stroking his beard and laughing in Pillman's direction.

The Horsemen retreat, with Sting's arms raised in victory. Savage gets into the ring, daring Flair to come back and settle it......The Mega Powers calm him down.
