Opening sequence.
Spring Break Out preview with Rachman and the Nitro Girls.
After a break, Hogan is being checked out as Jimmy Hart and Arn Anderson look on.
3 Count vs. Jung Dragons
Curt Hennig tries to get Anderson to stay but Arn is going to see his kids.
Silver King and El Dandy are reading their fan mail when Miss Hancock comes up. Dandy: “Do we not excite your groin?” How is that not a more famous line?
The Wall vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
They brawl into the corner to start where Wall handcuffs Bigelow to the ring for the DQ in 45 seconds.
Wall goes after Bigelow in the corner but Crowbar comes in with a big metal pole, only to get another chokeslam on the bad neck for his efforts. David Flair and his crowbar (the object) get the same treatment. Bigelow: “GET ME A KEY!!!” Wall chokeslams David through Crowbar through a table and gets in a few shots on Bigelow before we go to a break.
Crowbar is taken into the ambulance as Bigelow says this is his fault. He wants Wall at Uncensored, even though it went pretty badly about ten minutes ago?
Harlem Heat is ready for Disco Inferno tonight and Booker/Kidman on Sunday. This was nothing.
Nitro Girls.
Booker/Kidman vs. Lane/Rave
Curt Hennig vs. Total Package
Post match Hogan (with two good shoulders) comes in for the save and wants a tag match tonight.
Brian Knobbs is looking for the Dog and finds him drinking from a toilet.
More Spring Break Out stuff.
The tag match is set for tonight.
Nitro Girls.
Sid is ready for Jarrett on Sunday. Powerbombs are promised.
Norman Smiley vs. The Dog
Brian Knobbs vs. Terry Funk
Vampiro/Sid Vicious vs. Harris Twins
Sid pounds on Don in the corner to start but the Twins quickly take over on Vampiro with Don getting two off a side slam. Ron charges into a spinning kick in the corner but the Twins cheat to stay in control. Vampiro is all like “whatever. Raven never said BRING IT ON so why should I?” The H Bomb puts Vampiro down but Sid tagged himself in to powerbomb Don for the pin.
Stevie Ray vs. Disco Inferno
Hogan and Hennig are ready for the main event as well.
Team Package vs. Curt Hennig/Hulk Hogan
Luger cheats to keep control but Hogan hits his half of a double clothesline to put both guys down. Hennig gets the hot tag and everything breaks down with the good guys (well as good as Hogan can be) taking over. Hogan gets a bit too overzealous though and shoves the referee down for the DQ.
