2. The team of "Hardcore Country" Mickie James & Taryn Terrell defeated Gail Kim & Madison Rayne at 6:06. The turning point of this match came when Gail Kim got into a shouting match with Knockouts' Referee O.D.B. over an alleged slow count. Kim said, "You don't talk that way to me!" and slapped the ref across the face only to have O.D.B. return the favor in kind. Gail was stunned by the slap and was rolled up from behind by Taryn Terrel for the three count.
3. Joseph Parks, Esq. went down to defeat at the hands of Knux from Aces & Eights at 5:48. Parks, wrestling in what appeared to be a jogging suit, actually had the upper hand but was duped into believing that his opponent had sustained an injury in the ring. Knux was merely playing possum in the corner and surprised the attorney with his Swinging Reverse STO finisher for the pinfall.
4. Chavo Guerrero Jr. & "SuperMex" Hernandez beat the BroMans (Robbie E & "Mr. Pec-Tacular" Jesse Godderz) at 7:20.

Devon crawled over to make the cover and Bischoff held onto Magnus' foot to prevent the kick out as Referee Brian Stiffler applied the three count.
6. TNA World Title Match. "The Icon" Sting (Champion) was defeated by "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles in an unusual and controversial ending. Bully Ray attempted to make good on his promise that no man would win the title from Sting until he got his shot first, however former Aces & Eights member Mr. Anderson had other ideas. Bully came down to ringside and was about to slug Styles with his wallet chain until Anderson knocked him off kilter with a blow from behind. The chain flew out of Bully's hand and inadvertently struck Sting in the face. Unaware of what had transpired, Styles picked up the dazed Champ and delivered the Styles Clash (Belly to Back Inverted Facebuster) for the pinfall. A.J. Styles is the Neeeeewwwwwww TNA Champion !!

The Snake Pit Segment hosted by Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Jake's guest this week is "Outlaw" Ron Bass. Bass is furious that he was left out of the ongoing Intercontinental Title Tournament. He said that he was purposely "snubbed" because President Jack Tunney knew that he would be a sure bet to win the championship. Bass said the WWF has been "holding him down" ever since he joined the promotion. He called it a "Yankee conspiracy against Ron Bass" and said that he was good enough to beat anyone on the WWF Roster including Hulk Hogan.

Prior to the bout, The Genius wanted to read one of his poems aloud but Special Guest Ring Announcer Frank Coutinho refused to give up his microphone.

5. The Dream Team (Brutus Beefcake & Greg "The Hammer" Valentine w/ "Luscious" Johnny V) defeated The Bushwhackers (Butch Miller & Cousin Luke Williams) at 11:10. Beefcake rolled up Butch from behind as the Bushwhacker was jawing with Johnny V. In an unusual turn of events, Dino Bravo suddenly raced into the ring and attacked Beefcake from behind. Any notion of Bravo turning babyface was quickly dispelled when Valentine and Johnny V both joined in with the Canadian Strongman on the beatdown of Brutus. Ironically, it was the Bushwhackers who came to Beefcake's defense and made the save. Johnny V ran over to the announcer's table and told Gorilla Monsoon that Bravo & Valentine were his "New Dream Team".
6. The Big Bossman defeated King Kong Bundy (w/ Bobby "The Brain" Heenan) at 11:35. Heenan, in an attempt to give Bundy some managerial advice, ended up costing his man the match.

4. Rookies Steve "Do It To It" Cox & Shane Douglas defeated the Sawyers ("Mad Dog" Buzz & brother Brett) at 8:30. With all four men battling in the ring, the Sawyers brothers were whipped into each from opposite corners. Douglas then finished off Brett with a Belly to Belly Suplex for the pin.
5. TV Title Match. Champion "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel (w/ Missy Hyatt) vs. Challenger Sam Houston. Missy Hyatt removed the padding off a corner turnbuckle behind Referee Carl Fergie's back, but it was Houston who capitalized by ramming Landel's forehead into the exposed steel.

Landel retains the title despite losing the match.
6. "Iceman" King Parsons defeated "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert (w/ Missy Hyatt) at 14:21. Seemingly in control of the match and showboating in the ring for both the fans and Missy Hyatt, Gilbert was caught off guard from behind with a Backslide by the Iceman for the winning pin.

Referee: "Tough" Tony Altimore
1. Johnny Rivera bested Gypsy Rodriguez in tonight's opening bout. Gypsy had things going his way until he missed a high risk leap from the top rope. Rivera followed up with a Cannonball across his dazed opponent's chest for the victory at 6:32.
2. Native New Yorker Jose Estrada got the "Bronx Cheer" as he entered the ring to face "Polish Power" Ivan Putski. The pesty Estrada unwrapped some tape from his wrist and wrapped it around Ivan's throat every chance he could. This only served to prolong the inevitable as Putski eventually connected with his Polish Hammer off the ropes for the pinfall at 5:14.
3. "The Iron Greek" Spiros Arion over Pinky Larsen at 4:30. Larsen actually got in some offense but caught a boot to the chin when he telegraphed a Back Body Drop attempt. It was all downhill from there for Larsen who submitted to Arion's Over-the-Shoulder Backbreaker shortly after.
4. The devious Mr. Fuji defeated Tony Parisi by Count Out at 8:29. As the action spilled OOR, Parisi had the better of the fight until Fuji dipped down into his tights and blinded his opponent with a handful of ceremonial salt. Parisi staggered around ringside and could not make Altimore's ten count.
5. Stan "The Man" Stasiak & his partner Baron Scicluna lost to the team of Tony Garea & Larry Zbyszko at 8:54. The Baron was in the process of lifting Zbyszko up for a body slam when Tony Garea entered the ring and Drop Kicked his partner on top of Scicluna for the three count.
6. Pedro Morales over George "The Animal" Steele in the Main Event at 12:42. It was vintage George Steele tonight as the Animal gnawed open a turnbuckle pad and raked the stuffing into Morales' eyes. Steele also used a tongue depressor on Pedro which he cleverly hid from Tony Altimore's detection. It was not until the Animal brought a folding chair into the ring and smashed it over Morales' back that Altimore finally called for the bell. Your winner by disqualification: the battered and bruised Pedro Morales.
Ring Announcer: Frank Coutinho
Referees: Dick Woehrle & John Stanley
1. Upon his insistance, "Matman" Robbie Ellis was introduced by Mr. Coutinho as "The Pride of Portland". Robbie got down and dirty tonight and bent the rulebook to his liking but still could not defeat "Flying" Fred Curry. Ellis got into a heated confrontation with Referee Dick Woehrle regarding the Matman's illegal tactics and turned around right into a surprise Drop Kick to the chops for the pinfall at 5:11.
2. In a mismatch of epic proportions, "The Big Cat" Ernie Ladd defeated Frank Williams quite handily at 3:20. Ladd was in complete control of this bout from start to finish and once again used his controversial taped thumb to great effect by jabbing it into his opponent's throat while holding Williams in a side headlock. The Big Cat added a Running Leg Drop for good measure to gain the three count.
3. The team of Dino Bravo & Dominic Denucci beat the tandem of Tank Patton & Rocky Tamayo at 6:03. The double tough Patton kept his team in it and wrestled the yoeman's share of the match but Denucci was able to capitalize once Tamayo was tagged in and put Rocky away with an Airplane Spin. After announcing the winners, Mr. Coutinho and Denucci shared a brief conversation in Italian which Frank then translated for the Canadien youngster Bravo. It seems the topic of conversation revolved around a pretty gal in the first row of spectators who held up a sign and blew kisses to Dino. Denucci teased his teammate as they returned to the locker room.
4. Nothing was settled in the match between Steve Travis and Tor Kamata. This battle ended up on the floor with the two combatants duking it out around ringside while Referee John Stanley counted both men out at 8:44.
5. The arrogant "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe from Paulsboro, NJ did a lot of talking in the ring but could not back it up against the likes of his opponent Mil Mascaras. The popular masked man from South of the Border put on an aerial show for the fans tonight before pinning Sharpe with a Flying Crucifix off the ropes at 7:19.
6. In the Main Event, Superstar Billy Graham defeated Gorilla Monsoon via Count Out at 9:38. It initially appeared that both men would end up being counted out when this match spilled out of the ring and onto the Armory's floor, however Superstar Graham was able to sidestep a charge from his opponent that sent Monsoon crashing into the ring post. Graham was able to roll himself back inside the ring in the nick of time for the victory just as Referee Dick Woehrle's count was reaching ten.

1. “Fabulous” Frank Monte did not quite live up to his name in a loss to the popular Hawaiian Dean Ho. Monte got in his fair share of kicks and punches, but ultimately submitted to Ho's Full Nelson after missing a high risk leap from the top rope. The time of the fall was 4:44.
2. S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones has a bad habit of hesitating once he gains the advantage on his opponent which usually comes back to haunt him in the end. The pattern continued again tonight against Ivan Koloff. Jones rocked the "Russian Bear" with consecutive head butts but then petitioned to the crowd if they wanted to see more of the same. Koloff wasn't waiting to find out the fans' answer and planted a knee to the groin which floored Jones. Koloff added a Knee Drop from the top rope to score the three count at 5:25.
3. The always entertaining masked Golden Terror teamed up with Baron Scicluna to face the tandem of Tony Garea & barefoot "Country Boy" Haystacks Calhoun. As is often the case in Haystacks' tag matches, the heels were corralled together in the corner and crushed by a couple of butt bumps from the 601lb hillbilly. The Terror sold it well and collapsed to the canvas with a great deal of theatrics. A Sit Down Splash from Calhoun on the masked man's chest soon followed to seal the victory at 6:46.
During a brief intermission, Ring Announcer Howard Finkel plugged the upcoming AHL game between the New York Rangers’ minor league affiliate the New Haven Nighthawks and the Philadelphia Flyers’ farm team counterparts the Maine Mariners this Sunday night at 7:00PM. “Great seats and family ticket packages are still available at the Coliseum box office !

4. Waldo Von Erich (w/ German WWII Helmet) over Victor Rivera via Count Out at 8:26. Rivera was at a distinct disadvantage when the action spilled out of the ring and onto the floor. The vile German first sent Victor into the barricade railing before ramming him face-first onto the timekeeper's bell. Rivera could not recover in time to make Dusty Feldbaumer's ten count.
5. "Luscious" Johnny Valiant brought brother "Handsome" Jimmy to ringside with him to face "Polish Power" Ivan Putski in singles competition. Although Jimmy snuck in a couple of cheap shots, Polish Power dominated the bulk of the action. Johnny was sent crashing into his brother who had climbed up onto the apron to interfere and staggered right into the Polish Hammer from Putski for the pinfall at 9:30.
6. Olympic Strongman Ken Patera got a crack at Bruno Sammartino's WWWF Championship and came out a winner in the Main Event. Patera pulled out all the stops tonight and used every dirty trick in his repertoire including a hidden foreign object from his tights. Bruno was cut on the forehead from the weapon and bled profusely. Referee Jack Lotz was trying to get a better look at the laceration and caught a stray punch from the blinded Sammartino in the process. Lotz called for the bell at 21:16 and awarded the match to Patera by disqualification. The decision infuriated Bruno who chased both men out of the ring in a rage. Despite the DQ, Sammartino retains the WWWF Title.

1. "The Unpredictable" Johhny Rodz over Manuel Soto in a very competitive match at 8:56. The crafty Rodz employed some ring psychology to get under his opponent's skin by insisting that his hair was being pulled everytime Soto applied a legitimate hold. Referee John Stanley finally grew tired of the charade and ignored Rodz complaining the rest of the way. Johnny was able to roll through Soto's Flying Cross Body Press and grabbed a handful of tights to pull out a pin.
2. The Fabulous Moolah over Vicki Williams at 7:37. Things were looking good for Vicki after reversing a corner whip, but Moolah was playing possum and raised a knee on Williams' subsequent charge. The cagey veteran Moolah then used a foot on the ropes for leverage to hold Vicki's shoulders down for the three count.
3. Ted Adams had his work cut out for him against Stan "The Man" Stasiak from Buzzard's Creek, OR. Stasiak was in control from the onset and worked his opponent over outside the ring by ramming Adams head first onto the timekeeper's table and then body slamming him onto the floor for good measure. Once the action moved back inside the squared circle, Adams fell victim to Stasiak's dreaded Heart Punch finisher at 4:02.
4. The team of Tony Garea & Larry Zbyszko bested Baron Scicluna & Butcher Paul Vachon at 7:46. Vachon and Scicluna attempted to whip their opponents into one another from opposite corners of the ring, but a little fancy footwork turned the tables on the heels and reversed the maneuver. Dazed from the collision, the woozy Vachon was then cradled by Larry Zbyszko in a Small Package for the three count.
5. Bob Backlund (w/ "Golden Boy" Arnold Skaaland) over Professor Toru Tanaka by Count Out at 12:59. The concern on Skaaland's face was evident from ringside as he watched the devious Tanaka take control of this bout, however a missed Splash soon turned the momentum in Backlund's favor. Tanaka was then hoisted up and propelled over the top rope from the force of Backlund's Delayed Atomic Spinebuster. The Professor took a bad spill to the floor and was unable to shake out the cobwebs in time to make Referee Dick Kroll's ten count.
6. Tonight's Main Event featured "Superstar" Billy Graham against "Chief" Jay Strongbow with Gorilla Monsoon as the Special Guest Referee. The turning point of this see-saw battle came when Graham removed the padding from a corner turnbuckle only to have his own forehead smashed to the exposed steel. Graham was busted open from the blow and bled profusely. Despite the Superstar's protests, Monsoon deemed Graham unable to continue and awarded the bout to Strongbow at 18:24.

1. If you blinked then you missed it. "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes must have had early dinner reservations (with Alexandra York perhaps ??) as he put away the masked Zan Panzer with a Bulldog in just 1:13.
2. Colonel Parker's tandem of Bunkhouse Buck & Deadeye Dick (aka the WWF's Moondog Rex) dominated Rikki Nelson (w/out Ozzie & Harriet) and Larry Santo (w/out a proper introduction - Ring Announcer Rhubarb Jones erroneously introduced him as Larry Stanton). Buck got a helping hand from his partner to pulverize Santo with a Spiked Piledriver enroute to victory at 4:14.
3. The bout between J.T. Southern (w/ Johnny Flamingo) and "Heavy Metal" Van Hammer ended in a Double Count Out at 7:35. As the action spilled OOR and onto the floor, Hammer found himself having to fend off both Flamingo and Southern. Heavy Metal more than held his own against the two heels as Referee Randy Eller's count ran out.
4. Executive Director Alexandra York was conspicuously absent (hmmm....) as the York Foundation's "Head of Security" Mr. Hughes took on "Rapmaster" P.N. News. Pony-tailed Yuppie Terrence Taylor was present, however, and his laptop smash to the Rapmaster's back made all the difference. Hughes added a Big Splash to the felled News to seal the deal at 8:02.
5. "Dangerous" Dan Spivey over Lumberjack Big Josh by DQ at 8:49. The story of this match was Referee Teddy "Peanut Head" Long who seems to have a vendetta against Josh. The lumberjack and Teddy were at odds right from the getgo and bickered throughout the bout. The last straw came when Josh connected with the Northern Exposure on his opponent (Seated Splash from the top rope), but Long, perhaps suffering from a case of Tennis Elbow, had a very slow and exaggerated pin count. Spivey was able to kick out after what seemed like five or six seconds which sent the lumberjack into a rage. Josh got right up into the ref's face and gave Teddy a bit of a shove during his tirade prompting Long to call for the bell.
6. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (w/ Sade's "Smooth Operator" entrance music) over Barry Windham via Count Out at 14:36. Rude was able to roll himself out of the ring for a quick breather after being flattened by a Flying Lariat, but Windham was right on him and took up the fight on the floor. Barry charged at his opponent but was re-directed into the ring post by the cagey Rude at the last second. Windham was dazed from the high impact and counted out by Referee Mickey Jay as he tried to get back to his feet.

1. Chalk up another victory for the intense youngster Chris Benoit. "Scrap Iron" Bill Ford was the recipient of the punishment this time around and scarcely got in a bit of offense. Benoit scored the pinfall with a Bridging Dragon Suplex at 3:20.
2. The Diamond Studd (Scott Hall) with manager Diamond Dallas Page put a clubberin' on Brian Carr in this one-sided contest. Carr was given a Diamond Death Drop (Crucifix Powerbomb ) by the Studd but was yanked up before Referee Pee Wee Anderson could finish making the three count. The Studd wagged his finger at the angry official as if to say "Not Yet" and then administered a second devastating Death Drop to his hapless opponent. This time the Studd allowed the pin by arrogantly placing a foot on Carr's chest. The time of the fall was 2:46.
3. "Candyman" Brad Armstrong had his hands full with the wild and crazy Cactus Jack. In a rather unsettling moment, Cactus took a chair shot from Armstrong outside the ring and then gave his bewildered opponent a toothless grin. Jack then drove Armstrong's head into the floor with a Double Armed DDT. Referee Johnny Boone could have counted to a hundred if Cactus Jack had let him, but Jack chose instead to dive off the apron with a Flying Elbow Drop onto his KO'd opponent. Boone had seen enough and called for the disqualification at 7:27.
Interview Segment with Jim Ross and WCW Vice-President Kip Frye. (We are shown a montage of clips involving the Johnny B. Badd/Big Josh feud including some rather questionable officiating by one Teddy "Peanut Head" Long.) Frye disclosed that Teddy Long has been suspended indefinitely from refereeing pending further investigation by the Executive Committee. The announcement was greeted by a loud ovation from the crowd. Frye also ordered a return match next week between Badd and Josh with Nick Patrick assigned to officiate the bout.
4. Kevin Sullivan's Varsity Club (Captain Mike Rotundo & "Dog Faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner) defeated Scott Steiner & Erik Watts at 8:06. Scotty cleaned house while he was in there but the Varsity Club was able to take advantage of Erik Watt's inexperience once he tagged in. An overhead release Belly-to-Belly Suplex from the second turnbuckle by the Dog-Faced Gremlin spelled curtains for Watts.
5. Flyin' Brian Pillman over "The Computerized Man of the 90's" Terrence Taylor (w/ The Executive Director of the York Foundation Alexandra York) at 11:34. A pretty even match up that was decided by a huge gaffe on Taylor's part. With Referee Mike Atkins down and out on the mat after an errant bump, yuppie Terrence tried to bash his opponent in the head with Ms. York's laptop in the corner. Pillman was able to duck causing the computer to hit the turnbuckle pad and recoil back into Taylor's own face. Flyin' Brian hooked a leg as Atkins recovered to count the pin.
6. "All-American" Ron Simmons defeated "Stunning" Steve Austin (w/ Lady Blossom) by disqualification at 10:56. As she often does, Miss Blossom couldn't help but to interject herself into the proceedings. The valet attempted to spray Simmons in the face with her Magnolia-scented perfume but inadvertently got Referee Pee Wee Anderson with it instead. The blinded ref immediately signaled for the bell as ring attendants rushed in to douse his eyes with water.

1. "Mr. Bang-Bang" Cactus Jack (w/ missing teeth and marbles) rolled into town from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico to put a clubberin' on Chief Allen Iron Eagle. The Native American went on the warpath with a brief flurry of tomahawk chops but took a bad fall when he was tossed through the ropes OOR. Once out on the floor, Cactus was in his element and unloaded with the heavy artillery. No one was safe at ringside as the Chief was run from pillar to post. Iron Eagle was then rolled back into the ring and finished off with a Double Arm DDT at 4:14.
2. Shunned by big brother Rick in favor of the Varsity Club, Scotty Steiner has been forced to fly solo these days. Steiner seemed to take out his wrath and frustration on opponent Snake Watson tonight. Snake could barely muster an occasional eye rake or stray punch to offset the relentless attack by Steiner. A Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker across the knee was the beginning of the end for Mr. Watson. Scotty finished him off with the Frankensteiner (Hurricanrana Head Scissors Takedown) off the ropes for the three count at 3:28.
3. Vinnie Vegas (w/ Diamond Dallas Page) over "Heavy Metal" Van Hammer (w/ Electric guitar) via Count Out at 6:49. Vegas (a young and upcoming Kevin Nash) got a little help from his manager when DDP tried to swipe the guitar from ringside. Hammer immediately bailed from the ring in hot pursuit and caught up with Page half way up the aisle to the dressing room. Heavy Metal got his guitar back but found out that he had been counted out by Referee Mike Atkins upon his return to the ring.
4. Colonel Parker's team of Bunkhouse Buck and Deadeye Dick defeated the Young Pistols (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) at 8:55. The Pistols seemed to be one step ahead of their veteran opponents the entire match prompting Colonel Parker to interject himself into the proceedings by clubbing Armstrong over the back with his walking stick while Referee Randy Eller was trying to separate Buck and Smothers. Deadeye Dick (WWF's Moondog Rex) immediately pounced on the fallen Armstrong as Eller turned around to make the three count.
5. As ordered by WCW VP Kip Frye last week, Johnny B. Badd faced lumberjack Big Josh with Nick Patrick assigned to referee the bout instead of the shady Teddy "Peanut Head" Long. Patrick, who's own officiating can be dubious at times, seemed to be on top of his game and called the match strictly by the book. Everything unraveled, however, when Badd feigned an injured ankle and writhed on the mat in agony. While Patrick was checking on him, the afore mentioned Mr. Long raced down to ringside and blinded Josh with Johnny's "Badd Blaster" confetti cannon. In a miraculous recovery, Badd jumped back up to his feet to cradle the stunned lumberjack for the pinfall at 9:01. Wop Bop A Loo Bop A Lop Bam Boom !
In a post-match interview with Tony Schiavone, Long announced that he was resigning as a WCW official in order to become Johnny B. Badd's full time manager. Hmmmm....
6. In the Main Event, Paul E. Dangerously did all he could to help his man from the Dangerous Alliance "Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko defeat a man called Sting (w/ spikey blonde hair, colourful face paint and a ton of charisma) but it was not to be. Dangerously got in his licks throughout the contest but was thwarted by haymaker when he tried to smash Sting in the head with his phone. Zbyszko capitalized on the moment with a Double Axe Handle from the top rope on his distracted opponent, but got cradled in a Small Package as he attempted to finish Sting off with a Brainbuster. Your winner at 12:37: the Stinger.

1. Showing amazing strength and bulldog determination, young Chris Benoit was able to hoist the much larger Death Row up off his feet and pin him with a Bridging Dragon Suplex at 4:49.
2. Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker could have probably used a whole lot of help from his State Patrol tag team partner James Earl Wright in his match against "All American" Ron Simmons but the Lieutenant was no where to be found. Simmons made quick work of the solo Mr. Parker and pinned him with a devastating Spinebuster off the ropes at 2:36.
3. Flyin' Brian Pillman earned his nickname tonight with some aerial theatrics to down the masked Zan Panzer. Pillman slingshotted himself into the ring from the apron with Air Pillman (Springboard Clothesline) and then scaled the top rope for a Diving Cross Body Press to put away his opponent at 4:02.
4. Marcus Alexander Bagwell & 2 Cold Scorpio had their hands full with the unsavory tandem of Abdullah the Butcher and Cactus Jack. As is often the case when they team up, Cactus and Abdullah spent as much time brawling with each other as they did with their opponents. At one point the Butcher laid out his own partner with a Kendo Stick smash across the back. Scorpio tried to capitalize on the moment with a high risk maneuver to finish off Cactus but was pushed off the top rope by Abdullah before he could properly set himself. The groggy Cactus then gave Scorpio a Double Arm DDT for the three count at 6:59.
5. In a bit of an upset, "Candyman" Brad Armstrong defeated "The Computerized Man of the 90's" yuppie Terrence Taylor of the York Foundation at 9:34. In an unusual ending, both men were stunned by a mid-ring collision that sent Armstrong to the canvas and a woozy Taylor up against the ropes. Executive Director Alexandra York then tried to push Terrence from behind and have him fall on top of his opponent for a cover but Armstrong was ready and cradled the dazed Taylor for the winning pinfall.
6. WCW World Title Match. "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes took his eye off the prize just long enough to cost him his championship bid against Big Van Vader. Dustin was about to give the defending Champ a Bulldog out of the corner when Vader's manager Harley Race suddenly reached into the ring and grabbed onto the Natural's leg. Rhodes pulled Race up to the apron by his suit lapels to give him his comeuppance and caught a high knee smash from behind by Vader that sent him sprawling to the mat. Vader then hopped up to the 2nd rope and delivered a big Splash to put Rhodes away for the 1-2-3. Your winner and still WCW World Champion: Big Van Vader.

1. "Screaming" Norman Smiley went down to Meng's Tongan Death Grip at 5:54.
2. Hardcore Match. The Wall Powerbombed "Big" Rick Fuller through a table to score the pinfall at 7:09.
3. "The Dark Angel" Vampiro (w/ the Insane Clown Posse) over "The Chairman of WCW" La Parka at 6:48. In trademark fashion, La Parka brought a folding chair into the ring only to have it sent into his own face by a Spin Kick from his opponent. Vampiro then finished off the stunned luchador with his Nail in the Coffin (Michinoku Driver) for the pin.
4. "Lionheart" Chris Jericho (w/ "Jerichoholics Anonymous" T-Shirt & Ralphus) defeated Perry Saturn at 8:23. Jericho took a beating in this match but caught a break when Raven came down to ringside and distracted Saturn with his trash talk. Jericho snuck up from behind with a quick roll up on the preoccupied Saturn for the victory.
5. WCW Tag Team Title Match. The defending Champs, the Outsiders ("Big Sexy" Kevin Nash & Scott Hall w/ n.W.o. entourage of Scott Norton, Syxx, Vincent & Buff Bagwell) got by their challengers KroniK (Brian Adams & Bryan Clark) at 9:11. Referee Charles Robinson needed eyes in the back of his head to keep up with all the interference and cheap shots from the various n.W.o. members. Credit Syxx (WWF's X-Pac) for this victory as he absoultely planted Brian Adams with a Sit Out Facebuster off the top rope behind Robinson's back. Kevin Nash arrogantly covered Adams with a foot on his chest and a smirk on his face as Robinson counted the pin. The Outsiders retain the WCW Tag Team Belts.
6. In the Main Event, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner (w/ Bicep Kiss & Valet Midajah) over Diamond Dallas Page via Count Out at 14:25. Steiner fell victim to the Diamond Cutter late in the match but managed to get a foot on the ropes to break Referee Slick Johnson's three count. DDP returned the favor by also getting to the ropes to break up Big Poppa Pump's Steiner Recliner (Camel Clutch) moments afterwards. The end came for Page when he was tossed out of the ring and hit with a lead pipe courtesy of Midajah while the ref argued with Steiner. DDP failed to make Johnson's ten count after the pipe shot.

1. The n.W.o.'s Vincent (w/ Scott "Flash" Norton) beat Bobby Blaze by submission with a Cross Armbreaker (Fujiwara Arm Bar) at 3:54. (Note: Vincent is Mike Jones who had the misfortune of being caught up in the WWF/WCW wrestling wars. He was called "Virgil" in the WWF as a snub on Dusty Rhodes. When Jones switched companies, the WCW returned the favor to the McMahons by calling him both "Vincent" and "Shane" in his years there.)
2. "The Juice" Juventud Guerrera over "Ragin' Cajun" Lash Leroux at 4:26. Guerrera scored the winning pinfall with his Juvy 450 Splash off the top rope.
3. "The Laughing Man" Hugh Morrus defeated Crowbar (w/ David Flair & Daffney Unger) at 6:05. Morrus pinned his opponent with the No Laughing Matter (Moonsault) after David Flair accidently clubbed Crowbar with a tire iron.
4. The Bluebloods ("Lord" Steven Regal & "Squire" David Taylor) over the West Hollywood Blondes (Lenny Lane & Lodi). Taylor pinned Lenny Lane with the Crumpet (Bridging Double Underhook Suplex) at 7:58.
5. Falls Count Anywhere Match. The cameraman and Referee Mickey Jay had trouble keeping up with Big Vito and "Middle Age Crazy" Terry Funk as they battled throughout the spacious McNichols Arena. At one point, they lost track of the participants completely until screams were heard coming from a nearby Ladies Rest Room. Upon entering the bathroom, Mickey Jay was nearly knocked over by fleeing female spectators. Terry Funk had his head run into a vanity mirror by Big Vito and was pinned on the floor beneath the sinks at 17:59.
6. Cruiserweight Title Match. Billy Kidman (w/ Torrie Wilson) successfully defended his title against Disco Inferno at 8:30. Kidman put his opponent away with the Shooting Star Press after Disco had missed his own high risk leap off the top rope moments earlier. Billy Kidman retains the WCW Cruiserweight Title.
7. In the Main Event, "Crippler" Chris Benoit pulled out a victory over Booker T by ducking under a Spin Kick and locking on the Crippler Crossface for the submission win at 15:03 in a barn-burner of a match. Booker desperately reached for the ropes to break the hold but came up inches short and was forced to tap out.
