Commentators: Bobby Heenan, Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay
Recap from Nitro with the contract being eaten.
Opening sequence.
Rick Steiner vs. Tank Abbott
The Perfect Event is in the production truck and Stasiak starts pressing buttons. We cut back to the arena where fireworks go off, scaring Penzer half to death.
Rey Mysterio/Tygress vs. Lieutenant Loco/Major Gunns vs. The Artist/Paisley
Post match Lance Storm comes in and cleans house, including a superkick to Artist and a BIG springboard dive to take out the MIA.
Shane Douglas suggests that Cat makes Chris Candido (who still has a broken wrist)/Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Buff Bagwell for the sake of the ratings. Cat agrees but Shane owes him one.
Vampiro makes Demon drive the hearse away.
Hardcore Title: Big Vito vs. The Wall
Goldberg chokes a cop and makes fun of two more.
Goldberg leaves as Steiner and Nash arrives, causing Goldberg to come back and glare at them through the window of his car.
Quick recap of Bagwell vs. Douglas.
Chris Candido/Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Buff Bagwell
Cat gives Shane Kronik tonight for interfering, which is of course against the rules.
The guy whose head was shaved (who has been called Woody Woodpecker all night for whatever reason) locks Perfect Event in the truck.
Brian Adams vs. Brian Clark vs. Shane Douglas
Post break Kronik breaks into the truck and beats down the champs.
After the announcers talk about we just saw and we cut to Vampiro bringing Asya to the unconscious Torborg. He throws her in the car and says that Torborg and his buddy need to come get them.
Jeff Jarrett/Mike Awesome vs. Kevin Nash/Scott Steiner
to do commentary. Cat and Bobby are suddenly friendly, with Bobby mentioning a bonus in his pay envelope. Steiner shoves Jeff around to stat and kicks him in the corner a lot, followed by the bicep curl elbow drop. Off to Nash for two off a chokeslam before Awesome comes in to run Big Kev over.
Steiner comes back in for another power brawl, including an Alabama Slam to give Awesome two. Back to Jeff who gets caught in a suplex as Schiavone wants the name Career Killer taken away from Awesome due to the Kanyon charade. Fair point actually. Everything breaks down and Steiner hits a quick double underhook powerbomb for the clean pin on Jarrett.
Wait didn’t he eat that?
