Curt Hennig-Master P. confrontation, Hak vs. Brian Knobs,
Buff Bagwell-Ric Flair conversation
• Backstage, Curt Hennig introduced himself to a just-hired, Master P., who was with
his bodyguard Swoll and No Limit Soldiers. Hennig said he loved rap music and asked for an
autograph. Once he received it, Hennig said, "This is what I think of your
autograph," as he threw it to the ground.
• Hak (w/Chastity) defeated Brian Knobs (w/Jimmy
Hart) via Pinfall.
- Brian Knobs came out to new entrance music. He called the crowd losers. He said it was
Mrs. Nasty's birthday, and for her present, he would destroy Hak. Knobs wanted to get rid
of all the weapons in the match and just duke it out. Knobs ended up tricking Hak, as he
hit him with a kendo stick. As Knobs continued with his advantage, he gave Hak the Pit
Stop. Despite the match being one where you used kendo sticks only, other objects were
used, such as trash cans/lids, kendo sticks, tables, ladders, and chairs. Jimmy Hart
decided to get on the apron and hold up a chair, which Knobs accidently crashed into. Hak
then nailed Knobs hard with a kendo stick to take the win. Hugh Morrus then entered the
ring to add on to post-The First Family attack on Hak. Morrus gave Hak a No Laughing
Matter Moonsault with a ladder on top.
• Backstage, Buff Bagwell thanked Ric Flair for his current position in WCW, saying his opponent would be Disco Inferno later in the show and he would get the ball. Flair said something to the effect of, "I told you I would take care of you." Bagwell then said he would have Flair's back later in the show.
Van Hammer vs. Mikey Whipwreck
• Van Hammer defeated Mikey Whipwreck with the Cobra Clutch Slam.
- Van Hammer dominated Mikey Whipwreck with his power. The match spilled to the outside,
where Hammer used the guardrail to his advantage. Whipwreck attempted to gain the
advantage, but Hammer was onto him as he executed the Cobra Clutch Slam for the win.
Buff Bagwell vs. Disco Inferno
• Buff Bagwell defeated Disco Inferno with the Blockbuster.
- The crowd immediately chanted "Disco sucks" as Disco Inferno and Buff Bagwell
locked up. At one point, Bagwell went for the Blockbuster, but Disco countered. Disco then
started to work on Bagwell's neck to his advantage. Bagwell went for the Blockbuster once
again, but fell down after Disco crashed into the ropes. Disco hit the Last Dance on the
outside of the ring. As the match continued, after two more attempts, Bagwell finally hit
the Blockbuster for the win. Bagwell would no "be handed the ball," according to
Tony Schiavone.
Konnan and Rey Mysterio, Jr. vs. Curt Hennig and Bobby
Duncum, Jr.
• Konnan and Rey Mysterio, Jr. defeated Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum, Jr. via
Pinfall.
- DJ Ran hyped up the crowd. He introduced Master P. and the No Limit Soldiers to their
ringside seats. Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum, Jr. came out to their own country-western
music, which was Hennig and Duncum singing "Rap is Crap." Konnan and Rey
Mysterio, Jr. then hyped up the crowd and gave a shout out to Master and No Limit
Soldiers. Hennig insulted Konnan and Mysterio for saying the "hoolie hee" line,
which is used by Master and his soldiers. Hennig and Duncum were slapped on the outside of
the ring. In the match, Hennig and Duncum worked slowly on Mysterio. At one point,
Mysterio tagged in Konnan, but referee, Johnny Boone didn't see it. After Konnan was
finally tagged in and started to clean house, Barry Windham ran down. Master's bodyguard,
Swoll, clocked Duncum, which let Mysterio take the pin. Master himself and the rest of No
Limit Soldiers went at Windham. Security removed Master and his entorauge, as Mysterio was
hog tied.
Ernest Miller vs. Horace
• Ernest Miller (w/Sonny Onoo) defeated Horace with a Spinning Heel Kick.
- Horace said he saw Ernest Miller hit him with a crowbar the previous Monday on Nitro
after reviewing the tape. Miller said he wanted Scott Norton out there and not Horace. He
said if Norton wasn't out in the ring in three minutes, he would go to the car and get his
karate gear to beat everyone in the arena. Miller ended up getting another member of the
NWO Black and White, as Horace entered the ring for the match to get underway. No reason
was given why Norton didn't work the match. There was some type of shoe that Sonny Onoo
had in his briefcase, which let Miller take the win with a Spinning Heel Kick.
Ric Flair vs. Roddy Piper for the Presidency of WCW
• Ric Flair (w/Arn Anderson, Asya) defeated Roddy Piper by Disqualification, to
remain the President of WCW.
- Roddy Piper first took down Ric Flair with several boxing punches. Knife-edge chops were
thrown by Flair as the match continued. Piper later hooked up Flair with the Sleeper Hold,
but Piper went down after Flair clocked him with brass knuckles. Flair went for the
pinfall, but wasted too much time, so Piper kicked out. Flair then strapped Piper in the
Figure-Four Leglock, with Arn Anderson providing the leverage. Buff Bagwell then entered
the ring to help Piper, which caused the referee to call for the bell. Piper, for some
reason, nailed Bagwell, as Bagwell returned fire. Anderson entered the ring to take down
Bagwell. As Anderson and Flair held back Bagwell, Piper slapped Bagwell with a belt. Tony
Schiavone said, "Is this what carrying the ball is all about?"
Falls Count Anywhere: Rick Steiner vs. Sting
• Falls Count Anywhere: Sting and Rick Steiner went to a No-Contest.
- At one point during the match, Sting went for the Stinger Splash on the outside of the
ring, but hit nothing but the guardrail after Rick Steiner moved. As the match continued,
Sting strapped Steiner in the Scorpian Deathlock, but Steiner made it to the ropes. Sting
and Steiner then brawled down the aisle, near the Internet location, where Chris Jericho
was doing play-by-play. They went to the backstage area, where Tank Abbott, Scott Steiner,
and actual dogs attacked Sting. The cameras were then taken off the screen, as the crowd
booed. Scott and Rick Steiner then entered the ring and told the referee that his brother
pinned Sting in the backstage area, but it wasn't shown on camera. As Scott and Rick ran
their mouths, Rick ended up saying Baltimore, Maryland was the shittiest ciy in America,
which wasn't edited.
Perry Saturn and Chris Benoit vs. The Triad for the Tag
Team Titles
• The Triad (Diamond Dallas Page and Kanyon, w/Bam Bam Bigelow) defeated Perry Saturn
and Chris Benoit via Pinfall, to capture the Tag Team Titles.
- Diamond Dallas Page and Kanyon both used excellent teamwork to work slowly on their
opponents. At first, they worked on Chris Benoit. When Saturn was tagged in, he took the
advantage for a brief period of time, until DDP and Kanyon once again gained it. As the
match went on, Benoit hit his diving headbutt. As Saturn came down, he was nailed with the
Diamond Cutter. Dean Malenko then made his way down to help Saturn. Benoit had the
Crippler Crossface going, but the referee was distracted. Bam Bam Bigelow then entered the
ring, and he and DDP nailed Benoit with the combination of Greetings from Asbury Park and
the Diamond Cutter for the win.
Kevin Nash vs. Randy Savage for the Heavyweight Title
• Kevin Nash defeated Randy Savage (w/Gorgeous George, Madusa, Miss Madness) by
Disqualification, to retain the Heavyweight Title.
- Randy Savage's women got their cheapshots throughout. As the match continued, Randy
Savage hit his Big Elbow, which was reinstated thanks to Kevin Nash, but Nash kicked out
of the pinfall. Nash gained the advantage, as he had Savage eat his boot. Nash put Savage
through the Jack-Knife Powerbomb and had the pinfall, but Savage's women interfered. They
all went at Nash, but Nash took them all out. A returning Sid then entered the ring and
took down Nash. Sid put Nash through a powerbomb, and received a load of cheers. As Sid
yelled out, "Who is the man?," Tony Schiavone speculated that Sid was the driver
behind the hummer that crashed in the limousine Nash was in.
