WCW has a new CEO
- Back to Nitro 10/30, and the announcement.
- Bobby's unsuccessful at getting Ric Flair on the phone, so we'll move on to...

Ask WCW
- Brian Sites, from Winchester, Virginia for Ric Flair
  Do you think there will ever be another reincarnation of the 4 Horseman? Or is it a legacy you see David Flair inheriting?
- Ric answers (from the Power Plant, it looks like):
  Thanks Brian, I appreciate the respect and the acknowledgement. But to answer your question truthfully, I do not think there will be a reincarnation of the Four Horseman. We were an elite group, we traveled on a real elite basis, we brought accommodation of wrestling skills, speaking ability, and I think an identity that a lot of people looking forward to and identify with. It was very unique and very unusual. My son David has his own path and his own career to follow, his own career to build, I don't think the legacy of the Four Horseman should be anything for David to have to worry about fulfilling or carry on. David's doing a great job and I'm very proud of him, but I think the Four Horseman is something that he'll look at back as something his farther was part of, and I think he's looking for a new course in this sport. Thank you.
- Bobby's still on the phone, trying to talk to Ric Flair at a party.
