Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Reese
We recap the “fan” attacks (Kanyon) on Raven over the last few weeks.
Goldberg has to defend the US Title by running a Flock gauntlet on Sunday.
The Outsiders will actually be here tonight.
TV Title: Kenny Kaos vs. Fit Finlay
We see Savage calling out Bret from a few weeks ago.
US Title: Sick Boy vs. Goldberg
Sick Boy goes right for the champ and actually takes him down with a snapmare. We get a nerve hold but Goldberg easily fights up. A pair of dropkicks stagger him but Goldberg comes back with a gorilla press, setting up a bad looking spear and the Jackhammer to retain the title.
The Flock swarms Goldberg but he takes down Riggs, scaring everyone else off.
Chris Adams vs. Saturn
Rating: C. Better match than expected here with Adams at least being game out there. I like the idea of Saturn calling his finish but it would be better if it was in a feud with ANYONE but Glacier. Was there no one else out there you could have use a superkick to set up a feud with Saturn at all? Not a bad match at all though.
This week in WCW Motorsports because all WCW fans care about car racing.
Robbie Rage vs. Chris Benoit
Buy the Outsiders shirt!
Tag Titles: Outsiders vs. Public Enemy
Nash throws Rock into the corner and chokes him with the boot before firing in some elbows for two. More corner choking ensues before Public Enemy double suplexes Nash down. Rhodes pulls Grunge to the floor and the Jackknife to Rocco followed by the Bionic Elbow retains the titles. Heenan: “DUSTY IS 1-0!”
Sting vs. Randy Savage
The Bischoff challenge to McMahon ends the show.
