Recap of Hennig challenging Goldberg from Thunder.
Video on Goldberg.
Back from a break with a recap of what we just saw.
Psychosis/Juventud Guerrera vs.Kendall Windham/Bobby Duncum Jr.
Country singer Chad Brock will be performing live in two weeks.
Madusa and Miss Madness will be having a match at Road Wild but they can still insult Gorgeous George. Ignore the phone ringing during this segment.
Vampiro vs. Rey Mysteiro Jr.
Eddie runs out to save Rey from a beatdown.
Vincent vs. Stevie Ray
Jason freaking Hervey joins the broadcast booth to make up for the bad taste Arliss left on him last week.
Prince Iaukea vs. Lash Leroux
Iaukea grabs a quick armdrag to take Lash down but slaps him in the face. Not that it matters as Savage and George come out to beat up both guys for the no contest less than a minute in.
KISS is coming.
Savage is looking for George.
The Cat vs. Evan Karagias
Mikey Whipwreck vs. Steven Regal
Mike gets covered by the Union Jack.
Goldberg vs. Curt Hennig
Goldberg spits on Hennig post match to draw him back in, only to knock Curt right back to the floor.
Patty Stone Grinder vs. Madusa
Shane Douglas vs. Scott Putski
US Title: Chris Benoit vs. David Flair
Malenko, Saturn, Douglas and the rest of the Triad run in for a big brawl.
TV Title: Chase Tatum vs. Rick Steiner
Tatum, a No Limit Soldier, comes out to heavy metal. Steiner just mauls him in the corner with right hands and knees to the back. A shoulder drops Rick for a few seconds but another suplex sets up the Steiner Bulldog to retain.
Hollywood Hogan/Sting vs. Kevin Nash/Sid
Rating: D. Were you expecting anything else here? This was your standard main event tag but the things like Sting just crashing into Nash or Hogan clearly blading in the middle of the ring and bleeding before anyone hit him in the head took away any fun this match could have had. Also, anytime Rick Steiner gets closer to the main event, the match loses more of its value.
Goldberg comes out for the save but gets beaten down as well to end the show.
