He says everyone knows that Luger is the uncrowned WCW World Champion. We see clips of Luger having Savage in the Torture Rack and clips of World War 3. Luger says everytime they meet, Luger is always on top. He says at Nitro, had it not been for Hulk Hogan to stop the count, he would be the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
Luger says at Starrcade, Luger owns Savage and Savage is no problem. Flair is an 11 time Champion and there’s Sting too. He says Sting is a good friend, they talked and it will probably come down to them and if it does, may the best man win.
Roy’s thoughts: A fun match to start the show. One thing they did well was that opening matches were never long but always fun.
