We get some post show footage from Nitro with Scott Steiner beating down Diamond Dallas Page.
Cruiserweight Tag Team Title Tournament First Round: Scotty O./Jason B. vs. 3 Count
Scott Steiner wants the Cat.
Shawn Stasiak vs. Norman Smiley
We head outside as Tony lets us know that Shawn wants to be called the Mecca of Manhood. The beating slowly continues until Shawn dives into a boot back inside. A few atomic drops are about all Norman can do, save for the Big Wiggle of course. Stasiak comes right back with a neckbreaker and something like a chokeslam/spinebuster for the quick pin.
Elix Skipper vs. Shane Helms
Back in and Helms takes over with a backbreaker before tying Skipper in the ropes for a guillotine legdrop. Skipper comes right back with a pair of belly to belly suplexes (the Steiner madness is spreading) and a good looking missile dropkick. They trade some suplexes before Helms kicks him in the face and grabs the Nightmare on Helm Street and the Vertebreaker for the pin.
Post match Kid Romeo runs out but Kidman and Mysterio make the save to set up a tournament match.
Rick Steiner vs. Hugh Morrus
Non-title. Steiner hides behind the referee so he can kick Morrus low. A lot of stalling sets up an elbow drop for two before going outside to yell at the fans. As much as I get on him for all his faults, Rick knows how to be really mean to a crowd. Steiner very slowly works the leg though, negating that whole thing with the crowd.
Konnan saves Morrus from the Team Canada beatdown.
Chuck Palumbo vs. Lex Luger
Post break Luger is furious.
Konnan rants about being held back.
Long video on Greed.
Konnan vs. Lance Storm
Morrus saves Konnan from the beatdown. Post break we get a challenge for a tag match at Greed.
Booker T. is ready to go through Rick to get to Scott.
Scott Steiner vs. The Cat
Page comes in for the brawl with the Steiners taking over to end the show.
