• Lash LeRoux and Juventud Guerrera went to a No-Contest.
- As the fast-paced match went on, Sid Vicious, who was now supposedly at 55-0 and would take on Hulk Hogan later in the show for the Heavyweight Title, interfered. He chokeslammed Juventud Guerrera and Powerbombed Lash LeRoux twice. Sid said his name would be heard the loudest and would have the most wins in the year 2000. He taunted Goldberg and Hogan.

• Steven Regal (w/Dave Taylor) and Scotty Riggs went to a No-Contest.
- As Dave Taylor beat down Scotty Riggs with the British Flagpole, Sid Vicious interfered once again. He chokeslammed Steven Regal and nailed Riggs with a Powerbomb. Sid said it would continue all night and told Hulk Hogan to give him what was his.

• Ernest Miller (w/Sonny Onoo) defeated Mike Enos with a Standing Sidekick.
- Ernest Miller predicted he could beat Mike Enos in less than four minutes, and if he didn't, he would leave Colorado Springs, Colorado. As the match went on, Enos brought Sonny Onoo in for a gorilla press slam, but Miller ended up kicking Enos from behind. Onoo landed softly, as Miller made the pin in 3:39.

• Backstage, Sid Vicious destroyed Silver King and La Parka in a storage room. King was chokeslammed on boxes, while Parka was Powerbombed on a giant bag of popcorn. Sid told Hulk Hogan to just give him the Heavyweight Title and it would all be over.

• Rey Mysterio, Jr. and Lenny (w/Lodi) went to a No-Contest, to let Mysterio retain the Cruiserweight Title.
- As Rey Mysterio, Jr. dominated in the beginning, he nailed Lodi on the outside. Lenny then came back in the match with a twising asai moonsault on both Lodi and Lenny. Out of nowhere, Mysterio hit the bronco buster, at which point Sid Vicious entered the ring. He chokeslammed both Lenny and Lodi and Powerbombed Mysterio. Sting ran-in and went at it with Sid. A limping Hulk Hogan also entered the ring and tore off his T-shirt, which scared Sid out of the ring. Gene Okerlund hit the ring with the microphone. Sid said everyone knew that Hogan didn't want none of him. Sid told Hogan to tell his fans that Hogan would give him the Heavyweight Title. Hogan said he wanted Sid at a 100 percent, because he came to Colorado Springs, Colorado to train, say his prays, and kick Sid's ass. Hogan called Sid a coward. He said Sting was the reason Kevin Nash was out of the wrestling and why he (Hogan) would kick Sid's ass. Hogan then offered Sting a shot at the title the following week on Nitro. Both Sting and Hogan called out to the fans, to a huge pop. Sting accepted. Hogan said Sting and he were friends at the time, but when it came to Las Vegas, Nevada, he (Hogan) would train, say his prays, and kick Sting's ass.

• The Insane Clown Posse (w/Vampiro, Raven) defeated Public Enemy via Pinfall.
- Raven had an Anhk painted on his eye again. The crowd chanted, "ICP." Vampiro told the cameraman not to shoot The Dead Pool when they were talking, but only if Bobby Heenan gave the cameraman permission. Tony Schiavone said to Heenan, "Are you friends with Vampiro or something?" Anyway, in the match, Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock of Public Enemy dominated Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of The Insane Clown Posse at first, until Grunge was attacked on the outside by Raven and Vampiro. Shaggy was later placed on the table, as Rock put him through it. The referee was squashed in the corner, which let Vampiro enter the ring and nail Grunge with a top rope clothesline and the Vampiro Spike. Violent J then made the pinfall.

• Harlem Heat Interview, Conducted by Gene Okerlund.
- Booker T. said after two long years, he and his brother, Stevie Ray. Booker thanked Diamond Dallas Page for making Harlem Heat the eight-time (repeating it eight times) Tag Team Champions. Ray said he had a relationship with four fruit booties that couldn't get the job done. He said he and his brother would put their titles up against anyone. He said people were shaking in their boots, since Harlem Heat were family. Booker said, "We are going to turn this mother out."

• NWO Black and White Interview.
- Horace, along with Scott Norton, Vincent, and a shaved Brian Adams, said The NWO Black and White didn't care how many times Harlem Heat had been Tag Team Champions, because they couldn't beat anyone in tag team or singles competition. Norton said if Stevie Ray thought he would talk out of the NWO, he was dead wrong. He said if Ray thought he could come crawling back, he would maybe let him back in his spot, but probably not. Adams said he had an idea, which was that he and Vincent team up to take on Harlem Heat later in the show. Norton tried to take the microphone away, which Adams responded by pushing him. The NWO then beat on Adams.

• Kidman Interview, Conducted by Gene Okerlund.
- Gene Okerlund started things off by calling Kidman a chick magnet. Okerlund said he heard Kidman and some other guys were getting a clique together. Kidman said he, Eddie Guerrero, and Rey Mysterio, Jr. had a clique and were friends in the backstage area and outside of wrestling. Kidman said they were just a bunch of "filthy animals." Okerlund asked Kidman if he had seen The Nitro Girls PPV. Kidman said the question was how many times did he see it. Okerlund said he saw it 17 times, while Kidman saw it more than that. Okerlund then asked Kidman who was his favorite Nitro Girl. He said Kimberly, although it was no disrespect to Diamond Dallas Page, who got Kidman to where he was today. DDP entered the ring and asked Kidman, "What the hell are you talking about?" Kidman said he wouldn't disrespect DDP and he just thought Kimberly was a beautiful woman. DDP said Kidman couldn't spell "respect," as he slapped Kidman to get their match underway.

• Kidman defeated Diamond Dallas Page via Pinfall.
- Diamond Dallas Page manhandled Kidman and continued to put in punishment. DDP would finish any pinfall attempt on Kidman. DDP later set Kidman in a fall-a-way slam, meant to be turned into the Diamond Cutter, but Kidman countered with the roll-up for the win. Following the match, DDP nailed the refeee and the referee with Diamond Cutters. DDP placed Kidman in a tree of woe and started to beat him down with a belt. Kimberly made her way down to try to put DDP to a stop, who was choking Kidman with his belt. DDP finally made his way back with Kimberly.

• Disco Inferno Interview.
- Disco Inferno said he was a superstar, sex symbol, bona fide shaking bad ass, and an icon. Disco said The Filthy Animals had been calling him all week to try to get him to join the group. Disco said he would call them. Disco said The Filthy Animals wanted to be the future superstars on WCW, but he (Disco) was the future, and was willing to prove it. United States Champion, Chris Benoit made his way out. Benoit said there were a lot of people trying to climb the ladder, but he wouldn't let Disco climb his. Benoit challenged Disco to a match to find out what experience was all about. As Benoit made his way to the ring, Disco said he would give him an old fashioned, Brooklyn, New York tooshy kickin'.

• Chris Benoit defeated Disco Inferno with the Diving Headbutt, to retain the United States Title.
- Charles Robinson had his hair back to the normal, brownish color. Chris Benoit and Disco Inferno wrestled a nice, back and forth match. Benoit threw several hard chops on the chest of Disco.

- Harlem Heat took on Scott Norton, Horace, and Vincent of The NWO Black and White. NWO dominated since they had the advantage. Norton set up Stevie Ray for the Jack-Knife Powerbomb, but Brian Adams interfered and cleaned out the NWO.

Shane Douglas then ran down and distracted Bigelow, which let Saturn make the pinfall. Bigelow put Saturn through a powerbomb after the match, as Kanyon knocked out Douglas. Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko then ran down to scare the heels out of the ring.

• Hulk Hogan defeated Sid Vicious/Rick Steiner with the Big Leg Drop, to retain the Heavyweight Title.

The battled on the outside, where Hogan used a chair and knocked Sid over the guardrail. Sid then used the chair. He soaked Tony Schiavone with water, so Schiavone threw his cup of water back at Sid. Sid screamed, "Ring the bell," as he had Hogan's trapezius in a tight grip. Hogan started to hulk-up, but was soon taken down by a clothesline. Sid put Hogan through a chokeslam and had the finish, but he decided to wait to make the pinfall. Sid then punched on Hogan, but Hogan hulked-up once again, as he shook his head each time Sid through a punch. Hogan nailed Sid with a boot the face and hit the Big Leg Drop, only to be attacked by Rick Steiner. Sting then ran down and took out Sid, as tons of drinks were thrown into the ring. After nailing Steiner with the Big Leg Drop, Hogan decided to make the pinfall on him for the win.
