This is a Wednesday show.
Vampiro vs. Van Hammer
Speaking of Van Hammer, he destroys Vampiro after the match. Really? THIS warrants a continuation?
Sick Boy vs. Rick Fuller
Oh come on now. Sick Boy now has blond hair and actually looks like a bigger Dolph Ziggler if he had a brown beard. Fuller drops him with a shoulder as Tenay says this is a proving ground match. A bad looking legdrop gets two on Boy and a bad looking sunset flip gets the same on Fuller.
Steve Regal/Fit Finlay/Dave Taylor vs. No Limit Soldiers
West Texas Rednecks video.
We see the whole Sting/Flair argument from Nitro, plus most of Sting vs. David.
US Title: Bobby Eaton vs. David Flair
What is this, a theme show? Ric and Asya will be running interference. David actually takes Bobby down with a headlock before Bobby does the same to him, albeit much faster. A hiptoss drops Eaton and he looks somewhere between shocked and frustrated. Ric tries to give Eaton a wad of cash, only to have Eaton take the money and suplex David down. Asya comes in to block the Alabama Jam before taking his place. Eaton climbs down and yells at Ric, earning a low blow from Asya. The Figure Four retains the title.
Kidman vs. Mikey Whipwreck
Video on Hogan vs. Savage.
Rap Is Crap.
Tag Team Titles: Jersey Triad vs. Curt Hennig/Barry Windham
Anyway we take a break and come back with Kanyon coming in to face Duncum with Barry on the apron. Bobby drops Kanyon with a right hand but Hennig interferes for no apparent reason, allowing for a double tag to Barry and Bigelow. The others start interfering, allowing Page to hit Barry low to really take over. The other three guys are fighting on the floor, leaving Kanyon to miss a moonsault on Barry. Hennig comes in off the hot tag but everyone gets in for the double DQ.
