Match 1
Mike Enos vs. Chris Benoit

This match was a pretty boring match. The crowd wasnt that in to it. During most of the match the announcers would rather have talked about Goldberg and the nWo rather than call the match.

Benoit sold alot of moves to Enos. Enos executed a real nice tilt a whirl backbreaker at one point. This match was very drawn out for the simple reason of taking up ppv space. Benoit ended up winning with the crippler cross face.

Winner: Chris Benoit


Before match 2 started they showed highlights of what led to the Hall/Goldberg match later in the card.


Match 2
Norman Smiley vs Chavo Guerrero

Norman came out carrying a small red urn. Its obvious what was in it. At one point Tony referred to what was inside the urn as ashes but quickly corrected himself. Chavo came to the ring mad as hell and ran Smiley out of the ring before the bell rung. Chavo hits a crossbody to the outside on Smiley. Then he followed that up with a springboard into a bulldog from the top turnbuckle on Smiley. Smiley started mounting a comeback and hinted the "wiggle" to the crowd but later changed his mind and said he would do it later. Smiley used a few submission moves for the next few minutes and Chavo came back for a brief moment then Smiley put him back on the mat again for more submission holds. Smiley hits a superplex from the middle turnbuckle and both men are out but Smiley quickly gets up and dances. Smiley ended up getting Chavo in somewhat of a doggy style position and preceded to smack his ass. Tony refused to make any comments about that move. Smiley ends up hitting Chavo in the face with the urn and Smiley locked on the chicken wing and get the submission win.

Winner: Norman Smiley

The first few minutes Konnan is all over Lex and lex ends up leaving the ring and Konnan goes out and attacks him and they end back up in the ring with Konnan still in control.

David got in a couple of moves on Windham and eventually tagged in Ric. Ric comes in and starts cleaning house till Windham got a shot in on the eye of Ric and tagged in Hennig but Flair quickly came back with chops and sent Hennig to the mat but Hennig regained the edge again rather quick and even knocked David off the ring apron with a cheap shot. Hennig and Windham start making quick tags to each other and double teaming Flair. Early in the match Tony starts making comments about David making no attempt to come in and help his father and they blame it on his inexperience. Arn ends up getting involved in the match by attacking Hennig but Hennig regains control over Anderson with a double axe handle blow to the back of the neck of Anderson.

After the match the whole nWo comes out along with the Horsemen but there are way too many nWo members. The nWo handcuff Flair to the ring and start beating up on David Flair.
