We open with a recap from Nitro. As usual, that was the kind of show that flew by so fast that I could barely remember half of it anyway so for once this was helpful.
Crowbar vs. Mike Sanders
Lenny Lane is escorted off by security. Thank goodness.
Daffney screams a lot and runs off with a chair to find Mike Sanders. For some reason I want to see where this goes.
Jarrett offers to teach Sanders how to swing a guitar and knocks him cold. So much for Sanders meaning anything.
Miss Hancock has gotten David Flair a Cruiserweight Title shot tonight and promises, ahem, some fun to him if he wins.
Lenny Lane vs. The Wall
The Misfits are given their assignments.
Cruiserweight Title: David Flair vs. Lieutenant Loco
The Jung Dragons beat up the Cat because they finally have an open shot.
Tank Abbott vs. Great Muta
Major Gunns challenges Miss Hancock to a Rip off the Camouflage (ROTC) match at New Blood Rising. Gene is WAY too happy about this.
Kronik vs. Filthy Animals
Here are Shane Douglas, carrying a bag, and Torrie, with the latter wearing a dress tighter than should be physically possible. Shane pulls out the Stuff Magazine with Torrie inside and asks about her turn-ons listed in the magazine. Apparently she likes seeing her man work out so Shane pulls out a dumb bell and starts lifting, causing Torrie to rub his chest. This brings out Kidman to dropkick Shane but a Torrie distraction lets Shane hit him in the neck with the dumb bell, likely breaking his neck in the process.
Hardcore Title: The Artist vs. Big Vito
Positively Kanyon/Lance Storm vs. Buff Bagwell/Mike Awesome
Rick Steiner and Jarrett say nothing of note. Jarrett uses the acronym NOFYB.
Jeff Jarrett/Rick Steiner vs. Harlem Heat
Booker gets beaten down to end the show.
