We open with a video on Jeff Jarrett running through WCW. Why must they torment me so?
Opening sequence.
The ramp is off to the side instead of straight down the aisle this time.
Cruiserweight Title: The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea vs. Psychosis
The announcers run down the card.
The Demon vs. Idol
Lane and Idol beat Demon down until Norman Smiley comes out for a failed save attempt.
Jarrett and the Harris Twins plan for later.
The Maestro vs. The Cat
Maestro is thrown to the floor and seems to blame Symphony.
After a break, Vampiro is ready for Jarrett and the US Title tonight.
Lash Leroux vs. Dustin Rhodes
Dustin punches, Lash punches, low blow, Dustin bulldogs him for the pin in barely a minute.
Vampiro beats Finlay up in the back. This is a weird story as Vampiro is feuding with Jeff Jarrett in the main event scene and has this mini-side feud with Finlay.
Luger and Liz leave.
Meng vs. Fit Finlay
Security breaks it up in a few seconds, making this totally worthless.
Tag Team Titles: Mamalukes vs. Harris Brothers vs. Harlem Heat vs. Kidman/Booker T.
Mamalukes are defending, anyone can tag anyone, one elimination per team. I guess the Twins made bail. The champs and the Twins brawl to start and we get the bell before the other teams get here. Harlem Heat slowly comes out to join in with Booker coming out alone a few seconds later. Everyone hits everyone and Vito clotheslines Booker to break up a Spinarooni. What an uncultured swine.
Disco takes an H Bomb post match but Vito clears the ring.
Stevie Ray says that was a two count and wants to fight Kidman and Booker on Nitro.
Diamond Dallas Page was on the Late Late Show. When is he going to be on the Bad Wrestling Show?
Long Sid vs. Jarrett video.
US Title: Jeff Jarrett vs. Vampiro
Jeff kicks him back outside so the Twins can get in some more shots, only to have the Mamalukes out to even things up. Vampiro and the Mamalukes sounds like a pretty sweet detective agency comedy. Back in and Vampiro plants Jarrett with a Rock Bottom but the referee is yelling at the tag teams.
Vampiro takes an H Bomb and gets spray painted to end the show.
