Opening sequence.
Cruiserweight Title: The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea vs. Chavo Guerrero
Sid has gotten his wish: a six man tag where he teams with Booker/Kidman (WOOT!) to face Jarrett/Harris Twins (TOOW!).
Dustin Rhodes vs. Terry Funk
3 Count vs. Brian Knobbs/Fit Finlay/The Dog
The NWO girls have a spelling bee. The only word spelled properly: rat.
La Parka vs. The Demon
Nick Patrick preps Mark Johnson for his match against Mickie Jay. Who goes to NICK PATRICK for wrestling advice?
The spelling bee winner beats Gene in arm wrestling.
Buff Bagwell hits on Miss Hancock. He does have good taste.
Total Package vs. Vampiro
Luger starts in on the back and hits a press slam followed by a powerslam. The Rack is countered as Vampiro slips down and kicks him in the face, followed by a hair pull bulldog. Cue Flair for a distraction, allowing Liz to hit Vampiro with the bat so Luger can Rack him for the win.
Vampiro gets his arm broken post match.
Mickie Jay vs. Mark Johnson
Johnson hits him with a roll of quarters from Nick Patrick for the pin in about five seconds.
Crowbar vs. Wall
Crowbar gets stretchered out.
The first three NWO girls are tied for last and the worst looking one is eliminated. The three jump the winner of the contests and attack her with makeup, meaning the fourth one is eliminated. This was somehow a bigger waste of time than it sounds.
Buff Bagwell vs. Ric Flair
Hennig comes out to save Buff from a post match beatdown.
We get another clip of the Crowbar chokeslam, which really did look good.
Bagwell picks up the eliminated NWO girl. Good grief could they make him look like any more of a loser?
Jeff Jarrett/Harris Twins vs. Sid Vicious/Kidman/Booker
Kidman and Booker both take H Bombs and Sid gets guitared to end the show.
