Although it failed miserably, it did introduce a new rookie to WCW - Bill Goldberg, former Atlanta Falcon and Carolina Panther. Henning accepts but quickly takes an nWo swerve, and in the process they demolish Flair and Arn Anderson, essentially killing the Horsemen. Sting takes world title from Hogan for first time at Starcade. Larry wins the match after Eric tries to use a loaded shoe, but it flies out and Larry nails Bischoff with it to get the win. Rick is paralized from the neck down.
Savage starts going wild and finally challenges Hogan for leadership in nWo.
This starts the Wolfpack split. Dusty Rhodes splits from WCW and goes nWo. Louie Spiccoli becomes an nWo recruit but accidently OD's on painkillers. Savage and Hogan show down in which Savage is told he's still nWo but will get no support from other nWo members since Savage said he doesn't want it. Savage then turns around and takes the tile from Sting in March.
