Attendance: 3,439
Commentators: Mike Tenay, Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan
The announcers recap Goldberg vs. Duggan in a discussion almost as long as the match itself.
Cruiserweight Title: Corporal Cajun vs. Lieutenant Loco
Cajun is challenging. They start fast with Cajun grabbing a headlock but Loco flips out and starts a very quick series of rollups, drawing a rare round of applause from the crowd. As always: fans acknowledge entertaining wrestling. The champ gets two off a quick hurricanrana and gets rolled up while he yells at the referee. Cajun comes back with a headscissors and tilt-a-whirl slam for two, followed by a powerslam for the same. Loco backdrops him to the floor but almost completely misses a dive over the top. Back in and a quick tornado DDT retains the title.
Scott Steiner threatens the Cat with a stapler until he gets a match with Mike Awesome tonight.
Kanyon takes out the guy who brings him a sandwich. This is actually kind of funny, just like everything else Kanyon has been doing lately.
Hardcore Title: Jung Dragons vs. Big Vito
That leaves Jamie-San who comes in with a dropkick and low baseball slide. A quick Russian legsweep and middle rope legdrop get two on the champ. Jamie is right back up with a top rope splash for the same but Vito kicks him in the face. Some cane shots knock out the other Dragons but Jamie gets in a missile dropkick
Jamie-San, who has suddenly grown quite a bit, celebrates until Jamie-San gets in. The guy who got the pin unmasks to reveal Johnny the Bull, which is probably leading to a Dusty Finish.
Funk is very pleased.
Perfect Event hijacks Woody again, leaving a cameraman to take a surprise Kanyon Cutter.
Perfect Event vs. General Rection/Major Stash
WCW World Title: Horace Hogan vs. Jeff Jarrett
Jeff guitars Horace post match.
Kidman/Lance Storm vs. Rey Mysterio/Juventud Guerrera
Rating: C+. Another good and fast paced match here as Storm has been a breath of fresh air into the midcard. Kidman turning face again was the right idea, though it would have been nice to have him get a big win instead of losing every showdown to Hogan and then dropping down to fight the Animals.
Post match Storm and Kidman fight off the Animals with ease.
Kanyon gets a match with Buff tonight.
Tygress vs. Paisley
These two have been feuding for a few weeks now and this could be quite the train wreck as neither is a wrestler. Tygress jumps her from behind and the Animals are quickly ejected. A choke minus the actual choking has Tygress in control early and a hair toss gets one. Paisley comes back with a horrible hiptoss as the announcers have to ignore a WE WANT PUPPIES chant. Paisley slams her for a pin to end this quick.
Tygress jumps Paisley from behind and celebrates. You just got pinned BY A SLAM. You have no right to celebrate a thing.
Buff Bagwell vs. Positively Kanyon
Scott Steiner vs. Mike Awesome
