Kidman/Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Armstrongs
Post match the Horsemen come in and beat down the champions. Raven and Saturn come out for the save before beating down Kidman and Mysterio. This brings the Horsemen back in to put Raven and Saturn in their holds and stand tall.
Highlight reel of Jackhammers.
The Cat vs. Buff Bagwell
We get the usual insults to the “rednecks” by Miller before he offers Buff the five seconds. Buff poses at him and gets kicked in the face for his efforts. Back up and Buff dropkicks him out to the floor and the stalling begins. Miller gets back in and wants a handshake, only to stall even more by standing around.
Miller yells at Onoo post match.
DJ Ran the third.
Flair and his large company arrive and immediately go to the ring. Ric yells about wanting Sting, Savage, George and Goldberg out here. Before they come out here, he fires Savage and grants himself a World Title match in Charlotte. This brings out Savage and the girls as we go to a break. Back with Savage and Madusa beating up the security that tries to arrest them.
Flair grabs George as the cops come to the ring and arrest Savage. Robinson talks trash and struts but George breaks free and slaps him down. The nurse chokes George out as Flair insults Goldberg and Sting. This brings out Sting to punch Ric in the face, followed by Goldberg who does the same. Sting and Goldberg brawl, beat up security and brawl some more until a ton of guards break it up. Somehow this whole thing took over fifteen minutes.
After a break, Flair is talking to Stevie Ray of all people and offers Stevie $100,000 to take Nash out tonight. Ray agrees.
Nitro Girls.
Hardcore Hak vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
Video on Piper.
Konnan vs. Horace Hogan
Kevin Nash runs out for the save and cleans house with Konnan. So much for them fighting a few months ago.
After a break, Flair sends Scott Steiner after Nash.
More DJ Ran and Nitro Girls.
We go to a press conference with Lex Luger and Liz but the signal goes out before anything can be said.
Scott Steiner asks Mysterio where Nash is. Rey points him to a dressing room and Steiner goes in, only to get beaten down by Buff Bagwell. That might be the worst segment I have ever seen on so many levels.
DJ Ran and the Nitro Girls, maybe two minutes after the previous time.
David Flair vs. Meng
Video on Diamond Dallas Page.
Gorgeous George workout video again.
Nitro Girls AGAIN.
TV Title: Curt Hennig vs. Booker T.
Cops are told to go get the inmates.
WCW World Title: Ric Flair vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Page is defending and Robinson is referee. Feeling out process to start with Page shoving Flair into the corner and stomping away. Some choking has Flair in trouble but he comes back with chops and right hands in the corner. A hiptoss sends the champ out to the floor and Ric chops away against the barricade. Both guys are sent into the barricade and Flair chops him up the aisle.
