Taped from Topeka, Kansas
Hosted by Mike Tenay and Larry Zbyszko
Hardcore Title Match
"Screamin" Norman Smiley d. The Wall
Norman came to the ring in full kickboxing gear, including shin and forearm guards and
headgear. As The Wall was entering the ring, Berlyn came out to join Mike Tenay and Larry
Zbyszko at the commentating table. The former bodyguard took "Screamin" Norman
apart piece by piece, looking to pick up his first WCW gold. The Wall went for a choke
slam on Norman, but as Berlyn, who had come onto the ring apron, swung the Hardcore Title,
he hit The Wall by "accident." Norman got the win as Wall fell backwards with
Smiley on top of him, with his hand still firmly around Norman's neck.
The Total Package was shown in the production truck demanding to see the opening of the show again. Tenay and Zbyszko had stated that he was facing Sid Vicious later in the night.
Silver King told Dr. Death that he wanted his check back from Nitro a couple weeks ago. Oklahoma and Doc told Silver King that Williams would face him and his partners in a handicapped match later in the night for the check.
Interview: Kaz Hayashi
As Mean Gene talked to Kaz, Hayashi spoke, but an overdubbed voice came over the airwaves,
calling himself the "Kazmaster."
Kaz Hayashi d. The Maestro
The Maestro went to work on Hayashi from the beginning. David Flair came to the ringside
area, crowbar in hand, holding his head and talking to the bar. With the referee knocked
down, Flair entered the ring and clobbered Hayashi with the crowbar as Maestro headed for
higher ground. Referee Billy Silverman woke up and counted The Maestro out of the ring.
Disco Inferno and Lash Leroux were shown pulling into the parking garage. As they entered the building, Johnny the Bull and Big Vito pulled up beside their car, and followed them in.
Chavo was walking down the hallway backstage, talking on his cellphone to one of his "valued customers."
The Total Package attempted to leave the arena, but Terry Taylor told Package that he would hold his bag for him. Package complied and rounded the corner to get his real bag from Jimmy Hart. As Package went to his car however, he found the tires flat, stranding him at the building.
Buzzkill d. Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
Chavo had a briefcase full of goodies for Buzzkill to try. Incense, tie-dye shirts, and a
spinning colored lamp. As Buzzkill was looking at the merchandise, Chavo rolled him up for
a near fall. As they got to their feet, Chavo tried to sell one of the shirts to the
referee Mark Johnson. Buzzkill grabbed the briefcase and hit Guerrero across the back,
gaining the 1-2-3 count victory. After the match, Buzzkill bummed money off the referee to
buy the lamp.

Benoit told Mean Gene that he and Jushin "Thunder" Liger were no strangers to
one another. They would meet tonight and wrestle in another epic battle.

As Dr. Death finished off The Villanos in the ring, Silver King snatched his check from the ringside table and ran to the back.

Johnny the Bull and Vito were seen outside the door of "Leroux and Disco's" dressing room.
Jushin "Thunder" Liger vs. Chris Benoit
Before the match, Juventud Guerrera joined the broadcast team, with Psychosis and La Parka
behind him. Juvi would be locked up forever if there were a law for stealing catch
phrases. Benoit and Liger, who know each other very well, went back and forth, with
neither man gaining an advantage. It was counter after counter until Liger stopped Benoit
in his tracks with a devastating blow. As Benoit went to the floor, Liger dove from the
top rope with a flying bodypress. In the ring, Liger delivered a brainbuster and got a
close two count on The Crippler. As Jushin missed the enzuguri kick, Benoit took over on
his Japanese opponent. The Crippler laid in some heavy knife-edge chops in the corner. As
he headed to the top, he was stopped and superplexed off the top rope. La Parka and
Psychosis charged the ring and attacked Liger, with Benoit coming to his aid. They fought
off the luchadors as the match ended in a no contest.
Interview: Buff Bagwell
Bagwell told Gene that he was Buff and the stuff and that he would be the man to finally
take out Meng in their match later.
In the back, Johnny the Bull and Big Vito charged the dressing room looking for Lash and Disco, but were met with a malicious Meng attack instead.
The Total Package made a call to Terry Taylor on his cellphone, pretending to be "Dr. Lipschitz" from the hospital. He asked for Lex Luger, saying his father was ill. Taylor came around the corner and told Package that he was still wrestling Sid later on.
Meng d. Buff Bagwell
Buff tried a couple times to knock Meng off his feet with clothesline after clothesline to
no avail, but finally got him down with a series of dropkicks. Meng took over on Buff,
beating him all around the ring. Big Vito and Johnny the Bull headed into the ring and
attacked Bagwell and Meng. As Meng fought them off, Bagwell went to the second rope,
setting up for the Blockbuster. As he flew from the rope, he caught Vito instead. Meng
applied the Tongan Death Grip and got the pinfall victory.
Interview: Jeff Jarrett and Mona
Mona told Gene to look at her FACE when he was talking to her. She said she was sick of
playing Miss Nice and would show the powers that be what she was made of. Jarrett asked
"Miss Slappy" if she was done talking and told her to get out. He told Gene that
he has a hit list: Bill Goldberg, Dustin Rhodes, and if Gene didn't watch himself, he
would find out who else.
Johnny and Vito were in the back, holding their ribs, in pain from the attack at the hands of Meng.
Evan Karagias and Madusa d. Jeff Jarrett and Mona
Mike Tenay said that he has a meeting with the powers that be tomorrow morning to discuss
a suspension for Jarrett after the attack on Tenay this past Monday. Karagias started out
against Mona, but Madusa was quickly tagged in. Jarrett refused to take to the apron and
participate. As Madusa held Mona in an armbar submission hold, Jarrett sat on the
ringsteps with his back turned to the ring. Mona delivered a huricanrana to Karagias off
the top rope, but Madusa caught her with a German suplex as she got up. Karagias went to
the top again and this time came down with a corkscrew splash for the win. After the
match, Mona dropkicked Jarrett for not helping her, but was treated to a guitar across the
head for her troubles.
A clip was shown of Bret Hart's career in WCW from his arrival to his victory at Mayhem when he won the WCW Title.
Interview: The Revolution
Gene asked them about their defection from America and their creation of their very own
nation. Perry Saturn said that in their country, happy hour was from noon till midnight
and Christmas came twice a year. Malenko and Douglas asked him what he was talking about.
As Sid was shown working out for his match, Package was talking to the powers that be on the cellphone, who told him that he would get a title shot on Nitro if he defeated Vicious.
Interview: Disco Inferno and Lash Leroux Lash and Disco said that they respect each other and that they would watch each other's backs in the ring. Disco told Lash not to do the Bourbon Street Blues because dancing was his gimmick.
The Revolution d. Lash Leroux and Disco Inferno
The Revolution insulted Lash and Disco's heritage with Douglas telling Inferno that his
"people" were all the same. This prompted Vito and Johnny to come out as they
took exception to the comments. Vito and Johnny charged the ring and attacked The
Revolution until Asya gave them a pair of low blows. Malenko and Saturn sent Vito and The
Bull to the floor where they were met with WCW security and the police force. Disco and
Leroux hit the ring and the match was underway. During the bout, Douglas got up from the
broadcast table where he had joined the announcers earlier and clocked Lash from behind
with the cast. Shane rolled Leroux in to the ring where Malenko finished him off with the
Texas Cloverleaf for the win.
The Total Package d. Sid Vicious
Bret Hart served as the special commentator for the match. In this bout ordered by the
powers that be, Package looked nothing but confident after finding out that a WCW Title
match was riding on it. Referee Charles Robinson found a spray bottle sticking out of
Package's trunks at the beginning. Sid went after Luger from the start. As Luger hit a low
blow on Sid, Elizabeth made her way to the ringside area. As she attempted to spray Luger
in the eyes with something, Package took it from her and used it on Sid. Blinded, Vicious
grabbed Charles Robinson and gave him a powerbomb. Package rolled up Sid from behind and
referee Mark Johnson ran in to make the three count. After the bout, Sid gave Luger a
powerbomb in the center of the ring.
