KISS video.
There will be a new WCW President announced soon.
Chase Tatum vs. Mikey Whipwreck
Goldberg arrives and sees Page attacking Kidman, only to have a staredown with the Triad. I thought he was feuding with Sid.
Tenay is in the parking lot when Bischoff pulls up in a Hummer. Mike asks if Bischoff is going to be the new President but Bischoff laughs him off and asks if Tenay got that rumor off the internet.
Cat vs. Buff Bagwell
Berlyn is coming.
DJ Ran/Nitro Girls.
Goldberg vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Nitro Party video. Those are still a thing?
Cruiserweight Title: Lenny Lane vs. Juventud Guerrera
Sid is the man, powerbombs a go-go, 71-0, thousands of remotes change the channel.
Nitro Girls.
Dean Malenko/Perry Saturn/Shane Douglas vs. Hugh Morrus/Barbarian/Brian Knobbs
Benoit runs out and challenges Steiner for later tonight.
Berlyn is still coming.
Insane Clown Posse vs. Billy Kidman/Rey Mysterio Jr.
Eddie comes out for the save.
US Title: Rick Steiner vs. Chris Benoit
Benoit challenges Sid and Steiner to a match against himself and Saturn for Thunder. Two things:
1. That match was already set up on Thunder.
Tag Team Titles: Harlem Heat vs. Barry Windham/Kendall Windham
Vampiro vs. Eddie Guerrero
Kidman and Mysterio come out for the save.
Nitro Girls.
WCW World Title: Hulk Hogan vs. Sting
They take it back inside and Sting gets two off a Vader Bomb. Somehow Hogan sells it more than he ever did when Vader himself did it back in 1995. We hit the chinlock for a bit until Hogan Hulks Up, only to miss the big leg. The Stinger Splash connects but a second hits boot. The third hits buckle and Hogan is ready to go, only to have Sid and Steiner come in for the DQ.
Goldberg and Luger come out for the save, because you need four former World Champions to deal with Sid and RICK STEINER. Hogan offers Sting one more title shot, likely at Fall Brawl.
