August 2, 2000
Location: Hulman Center, Terre Haute, Indiana
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Stevie Ray, Mike Tenay
Opening sequence.
Cruiserweight Title: Lance Storm vs. Juventud Guerrera
The announcers show us a clip from after Nitro with Kronik running in to save Booker and Sting. As in the Sting WHO WAS LIT ON FIRE and seems to be fine.
General Rection yells at MIA as he always does.
Booker arrives and Tony is shocked to see him limping.
Smooth the limo decides Skip Over needs a better name.
David Flair vs. Sgt. A-Wall
Tank Abbott has written a new song for 3 Count. Freaking sweat!
Kidman vs. Elix Skipper
Cat promises Mike Awesome a title shot at New Blood Rising if he wins the title tonight. Point for tying up a potential loose end at least.
Hardcore Title: Lance Storm vs. Norman Smiley
Vito comes in to break up the hold.
Torrie threatens to sue Judy if she gets in her face tonight.
Shane Douglas vs. Buff Bagwell
Mike Awesome vs. Positively Kanyon
Kanyon actually charges in so Awesome runs him over with a clothesline. Commentary goes silent for a bit and comes back talking about the three way at New Blood Rising. Stevie actually brings it back to focus as Kanyon hits Awesome low to slam him out of the corner. A sitout spinebuster gets two for Kanyon and a neckbreaker out of the Tree of Woe (not a Kanyon Cutter Tony) gets two more.
US Title: Lance Storm vs. The Cat
The good guys in the main event promise to win because the other four guys are player haters.
WAY too long video on Gunns vs. Hancock.
Jarrett calls Gene a broke neck slapnut.
Booker T./Sting/Kronik vs. Great Muta/Vampiro/Demon/Jeff Jarrett
