We open in the production truck with Sid telling a production guy to play a tape when he gives him a cue.

Bret Hart
Perry Saturn
Norman Smiley
Kidman
Total Package
Sting
Chris Benoit
Madusa
Scott Hall
Lash Leroux
Buff Bagwell
Vampiro
Curt Hennig
Jeff Jarrett
That is one lame tournament.
We look at Kimberly running David Flair over last week.
Kimberly arrives and tells Doug Dillinger that David has been harassing her all week. So why is she here? Dillinger gives her extra security.
WCW World Title Tournament Second Round: Norman Smiley vs. Kidman
Sting searches for Luger.
David Flair is lurking around with his crowbar.
WCW World Title Tournament Second Round: Chris Benoit vs. Madusa
Madusa freaks out on Jarrett for costing her a shot at the title.
Chavo Guerrero Jr. comes in to ask the Powers That Be for his opportunity for winning the battle royal on Thunder. Russo tells him that the opportunity around here is selling Amway, so get out of his office. So yeah, no reward and the battle royal was a waste of time.
Jim Duggan is cleaning toilets.
TV Title: Rick Steiner vs. Disco Inferno
Nash is indeed the Grand Wizard of Wrestling and has powder, chloroform and brass knuckles. He and Hall are ready for Sid and they have riot police following them around.
David is still on the hunt.
Luger and Liz have a plan to make up with Sting.
Sting vs. Goldberg
And now, after that huge match, the Outsiders offer Sid the riot squad when Rick Steiner comes up and demands Sid make time for him tonight. So Rick is the clingy ex?
Luger and Liz see Duggan mopping floors and steal his “wet floor” sign.
WCW World Title Tournament Second Round: Vampiro vs. Buff Bagwell
WCW World Title Tournament Second Round: Bret Hart vs. Perry Saturn
Kimberly asks Creative Control for a meeting with the Powers That Be.
Booker T. vs. Creative Control/Jeff Jarrett
Asya/Dean Malenko vs. Torrie Wilson/Rey Mysterio
The Animals come in for the save as Tony says this was a grand plan. There was nothing grand about this Tony. Well except Torrie.
Kimberly goes into the shower and David is waiting for her. Good grief just leave the arena already. Then again David seems to have superpowers tonight so it might not matter.
Sid Vicious vs. Total Package
Brian Knobbs vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
They knock each other into a wall and Norman wants to know where Doug Dillinger is when you really need him. Knobbs hits Bigelow with a chair and drives him through a table as Norman screams a lot. Kimberly shows up and has Bigelow come with her, meaning Knobbs wins by countout. Backstage. In a hardcore match. This was a way for Kimberly to get some protection but Norman continues to be hilarious.
Norman beats up Knobbs and Jimmy and throws them in trashcans.
Kimberly and Bam Bam Bigelow are looking for David. Bigelow: “If you want to pick on a girl, pick on me!”
WCW World Title Tournament Second Round: Scott Hall vs. Lash Leroux
Nash is with Hall and in the Grand Wizard garb. The riot guard is with them as well to really overbook things. Heenan thinks the guest referee for the ladder match is going to be from another organization. We start with a toothpick throw and Lash is tossed into the corner. Hall drives in the shoulders and puts on an armbar to slap Lash in the back of the head. Back up and Lash scores with some forearms and a dropkick as Tony is really putting Lash over. The Outsiders have a meeting on the floor and Nash offers chloroform.
Recap of Hennig having to avoid getting pinned to keep his job. We still have no idea why this stipulation has been put into place.
WCW World Title Tournament Second Round: Curt Hennig vs. Jeff Jarrett
Hennig jumps him in the aisle to start and they head inside with Jeff grabbing a quick small package for two. They head right back outside for a slugout with Jeff going after the knee as is his custom. Cue Creative Control to watch from the stage as Hennig kicks out of a Figure Four attempt.
Jeff gives Curt the Stroke post match.
Here are the updated brackets:
Bret Hart
Kidman
Sting
Total Package
Chris Benoit
Scott Hall
Buff Bagwell
Jeff Jarrett
US Title: Sid Vicious vs. Goldberg vs. Bret Hart vs. Scott Hall
