    David Flair with Daphne & Crowbar defeated The Revolution and The Filthy Animals in a three way dance to retain the WCW Tag Title
    -Shane Douglas joined the commentators at ringside. The match began with The Revolution and The Filthy Animals in the ring. When Flair and Crowbar ran in, all six began to go at it. The Revolution seemed to be taking control until Flair got his crowbar. The Revolution quickly left the ring, but while Malenko attacked Rey Mysterio on the outside, Saturn seemed to be leaving. Saturn leaped from the balcony on to Mysterio (at least 15 feet), whom Malenko had placed on a table. Flair was able to cover Saturn as he tried to recover from his fall, and got the pin.

  • The nWo arrived; it was Steiner’s birthday, and Nash gave him a car full of girls as his present.

  • Terry Funk told his boys it was time to go.

  • Rey Mysterio was placed into an ambulance; Big Poppa Pump said he had to pace himself so he only took two of the women into the locker room with him, but he told the rest he would be back for them.

  • Oklahoma said he was sick and tired of women that didn’t realize that their place was in the kitchen. He said that Madusa needed to learn her role. He called her a silicon freak. He said he would send a message to Madusa tonight. OK issued an open challenge to any woman for a good old-fashion slobberknocker. Asya came out. The two began to argue until Asya shoved OK down. OK begged for mercy until Asya turned her back, and OK took advantage by shoving her out of the ring. When he followed her out, however, Asya began to pound on OK. Asya was in control until OK hit her with his barbeque sauce. Madusa then came out. When she entered the ring, however, OK hit her with a broom and took the WCW Cruiserweight Title Belt.

  • Terry Funk and his men were coming towardsa the ring; Nash peaked in on Steiner.

AA said he would stalk the nWo around and get some revenge tonight. Larry said that the people were looking at tradition. He said that the nWo wouldn’t make it to the real 21st century unless it was over their dead body. Orndorff talked about the powerplant men. He said they sweat to keep up the tradition, and tonight they would take a chunk out of the nWo ‘s ass. nWo entered with the group of women. JJ was wearing a Titan Jersey that seemed to get some heat. Nash said he was going to buy some suits since he wants to look good as commissioner. Funk said his role was to make every match, and tonight JJ would be in three matches (a wrestling match, a bunkhouse brawl, and a cage match). Jarrett then made a comment about the Titans-Bills game and got a lot of heat. Funk said that he would make Chris Benoit the special ref for JJ’s matches. Funk then said that Nash and Hart would compete for the Title tonight, and if they didn’t fight hard, they would be suspended for a year. Big Poppa Pump got on the mic and was censored for at least a minute. (Pretty funny.) Funk then told Steiner that he would was his mouth out with soap.

DDP told Gene that he wanted to do this man to man, and Gene obliged by leaving. The two attempted to get the other to break the five minute time barrier. Buff asked DDP how’s his wife? Buff said he was just friends with Kimberly, but he does see a sparkle in her eye. DDP said that Buff was suppose to be a friend, but he betrayed him. The two argued over whether Buff did anything. When the clock ran out, DDP asked Buff about Kimberly’s birthmark, and Buff told him that everyone in the back has seen it. Page hit Buff.
