Summary

Russo and Bischoff are in charge of the “NEW WCW.” It’s WCW Nitro May 22, 2000 and Vince Russo promises us the funeral of Ric Flair. Flair was beat up by the New Blood on WCW Thunder last week and passed out as he was being carried out! The New Blood decides to make a mockery out of The Nature Boy by holding a funeral for him. Also, as it’s a new WCW all the matches are now under relaxed rules! The Cat fights Booker T in a Weapons Match, Mike Awesome battles The Wall in an Ambulance vs Table match, and Scott Steiner takes on his brother Rick Steiner in a Steel Asylum Match. Plus, Terry Funk is going to announce his retirement from pro wrestling.
