~~Diamond Dallas Page vs. Raven
This match is a "Death Match" Cage match between
Diamond Dallas Page and Raven. These two have been feuding for months,
dating back to the US Championship matches between
the two.
DDP and Raven went at it right away in the ring,
along with a trashcan full of weapons. These two went for each other right
from
the start, with DDP hangnig Raven from a noose,
and even nailing him with a VCR.
Raven nailed the Diamond Cutter on DDP, but Page
got up at the 8 count. Page then nailed Raven with the Diamond Cutter and
got the victory on the 10 count.
Afterwards, one of the riot squad members went
around and handcuffed all of the Flock to the cage. He handcuffed Raven
also
and attacked him. When he took the riot helmet
off, it was MORTIS. He then took his mask off to reveal what he looks like.
~~Winner: Diamond Dallas Page

~~If Ultimo wins, Chavo gets his freedom!!
Chavo came out with Eddie, but during the match
cheered on Ultimo Dragon. Eddie ends up getting the pinfall victory, and
Chavo
came in and pulled Eddie off him and threw him
into the corner and yelled at him.
Chavo then attacked Ultimo Dragon! Eddie came
in and pulled him off, and Chavo pushed him away and told him "GET OFF
OF
ME!". Chavo went back to attacking Ultimo, and
Eddie pulled him off AGAIN and this time slapped him!
Eddie then backs away and Chavo and Eddie start
to talk before Chavo starts to back down some as Eddie begins to intimidate
Chavo once again. Eddie and Chavo end up leaving
together, with Chavo kissing Eddie on the cheek -- when Eddie told him
to.
~~Winner: Eddie Guerrero
~~WCW U.S. Title Match
~~Goldberg vs. Saturn
Saturn said, earlier in the show, that he has
told the Flock they will NOT face Goldberg. Saturn wants Goldberg by himself.
So this
is not scheduled to be a Gauntlet match afterall,
but rather Goldberg vs. Saturn.
The match started off, with Saturn quickly gaining
control of the match. Saturn had Goldberg down before he "hulked" up and
ended up spearing Saturn by surprise. He picks
him up into the Jackhammer and drives him to the mat for the 1-2-3.
~Winner: Goldberg
~~Battle of the Promoters
~~Eric Bischoff vs. Vince McMahon
Michael Buffer introduced this match, with Eric
Bischoff coming out first. Wearing black gear, NWO t-shirt, and an NWO
jean
jacket. During the night they had shown a "Vinnie
Mac" Cam looking for Vince entering the building.
Buffer introduces Vince, and nobody comes out.
He introduces him again, and again nobody comes out. Bischoff acts upset
in the
ring, wondering what is going on (as if he doesn't
know). Bischoff asks, "Where the hell is he?".
The Ref tells them to count 10, and if he doesn't
show up then Bischoff wins. The crowd counts along with them, and Buffer
announces Eric Bischoff as the winner by forfeit
and disqualification.
~~Winner: Eric Bischoff
~~Grudge Match
~~Bret Hart vs. Randy Savage
The crowd was solidly behind Randy Savage. The
match went back and forth several times, with Hart having the upperhand
the
majority of the time. Hart concentrated on Savage's
injured knee.
At one point during the match, Bret Hart got
Savage into the sharpshooter but Savage REVERSED it and had Hart in the
sharpshooter before he got to the ropes.
Elizabeth came out to try and help Savage, and
she distracted Piper. Bret Hart then nails Piper from behind, before Hogan
ran in
and nailed Savage from behind -- giving Hart
the upper hand. This allowed him to put him in the sharpshooter for the
submission
victory..
~~Winner: Bret Hart
~~WCW Tag Team Title Match
~~The Outsiders vs. The Giant/Sting
Nash and Hall came out wearing the red and black
NWO shirts, accompanied by Dusty Rhodes. Scott Hall got on the mic, and
asked the crowd if him and Nash cuold take a
little survey. The corwd booed for WCW, and once again folloed Hall in
saying the
N-W-O. One more for the "Good Guys".
The Giant then came out next, wearing a WHITE
and black NWO shirt to the NWO music. Buffer then introduced Sting, who
came out wearing his crow-esque attire. The Giant
and Sting had some words in the corner, or actual The Giant had some words
for Sting in the corner before the match started.
Scott Hall and Sting started things off, with
Sting giving Hall a few crotch chops before locking up. Scott Hall got
a chance to
mock The Giant for a bit, when he chokeslammed
Sting -- but Sting rebounded quickly to get the strong upperhand.
Nash and The Giant eventually locked up, with
the crowd fully behind Nash during this exchange. The crowd was actually
booing
The Giant, obviously not happy with his allegiance
to the BLACK AND WHITE faction of the NWO. The crowd even chanted
"Lets go Wolfpack".
Kevin Nash took control later in the match, and
was about to powerbomb The Giant when SCOTT HALL NAILS KEVIN NASH
WITH A TITLE BELT. Allowing THE GIANT to pin
Kevin Nash!
Hall then draped an NWO shirt over Nash, who
was laid out in the ring. Sting and The Giant are the WCW Tag Team Champions.
Sting looked upset as Hall and The Giant celebrated
in the ring.
~~Winner: New WCW Tag Team Champs Sting and The
Giant!!
