Also in Europe, at a show called Millennium Final, the Boogie Knights won the Tag Team Titles in a major upset. Wright won the match on his own after Disco was injured early on.
Opening sequence.
Jamie Noble vs. Yang
Evan and Noble clear the ring post match.
Luger talks to Flair about doing the right thing and Ric promises to make sure it happens.
We look at Scott Steiner beating Sting down on Thunder to put him on the shelf AGAIN.
We see Rick Steiner vs. T-Money (Terry Crews) on Battledome in a boxing match which turned into a big brawl because of course it did.
Things happened and the next morning all that was left was the shopping bag. That bag was full of garbage, just like the rest of this story. Jeff guitars David as the announcers try to figure out why Jarrett came up with this story, which is a fair question. Cue Buff Bagwell to go after Jeff, only to be whipped into the set like the goon that he is. Buff gets back up and knocks Jeff off the stage for his big hero moment.
Tag Team Titles: Perfect Event vs. Elix Skipper/Alex Wright
Wright and Skipper are defending. Stasiak and Wright get things going with Alex stomping away before Palumbo comes in with a big right hand. A double slingshot suplex puts Wright down and Stasiak gets two off a neckbreaker with Skipper making a save. Everything breaks down and here are the Filthy Animals to lay out Wright, giving Stasiak the pin and the titles.
Video of Mancow attacking Jimmy Hart to set up their match at Mayhem.
Mike Sanders has an idea for Kwee Wee tonight.
The Battledome guys are here yelling about something.
Wright thinks WCW is scared of the Boogie Knights being champions so now they want the Animals in a handicap match at Mayhem.
The Thrillers are ordering pizza when Reno comes in and says he wants to fight Vito tonight.
Rection gives the Misfits a pep talk.
We recap Meng/Kwee Wee vs. Team Canada in a bizarre yet interesting feud.
Jim Duggan/Lance Storm vs. Kwee Wee/Meng
Jeff Jarrett and Shane Douglas are talking about something.
Kwee Wee vs. ???
Sanders is on commentary and very pleased when the opponent is revealed as Goldberg. The match lasts 29 seconds in case you were expecting something else.
Goldberg vs. Mike Sanders
We flash back to Halloween Havoc at Shane Douglas attacking The Cat and then beating up Ms. Jones the next night on Nitro.
Shane Douglas vs. Buff Bagwell
Post match Cat wants to fight right now but it winds up being dance time instead.
WCW World Title: Booker T. vs. Lex Luger
Booker yells at Goldberg but has to fight off Steiner to end the show.
Overall Rating: D. Pretty worthless show here other than to set up the Tag Team Title match on Sunday. The main event was one of those stories that was invented and blown off in the span of a night and went nowhere while not really changing anything. The wrestling was nothing to see, the angles were nothing interesting and the show did almost nothing to make me want to see Mayhem. Such is life in WCW as we approach one of its final pay per views.
