Chris Benoit vs Fit Finlay(c)-T.V. Title
  •I was surprised with this match. It was a lot better than I had expected. Booker T. comes out distracting Benoit. Finlay capitalizes on it and retains the T.V. Title. Rating: 7/10

Brian Adams vs Lex Luger
  •Not a very long match, but to the point. Luger focuses on Adams' shoulder. Luger locks on the Torture Rack and Adams taps out. Rating: 6.5/10

Ciclope wins and reveals himself to be Dean Malenko!

Dean Malenko vs Chris Jericho(c)-Cruiserweight Title
  •pretty good match, not too long. Malenko locks in the Texas Cloverleaf. Jericho tries to make it to the ropes but taps out. Dean Malenko wins the title. Rating: 8/10

Raven vs DDP-Bowery Cage Match
  •Best match of the night so far. The Flock comes out but Van Hammer attacks them. DDP hits the Diamond Cutter and Raven gets counted down. Mortis comes out and handcuffs all the Flock members to the cage. He takes off his mask revealing himself and nails Raven with a chair. Rating: 8.5/10

Ultimo Drago vs Eddie Guerrero
  •Wow! Even better than the cage match! The is one of the best Cruiserweight matches I have ever seen. Eddie Guerrero wins with the Frogsplash, so Chavo must stay with Eddie. Rating: 9/10

Saturn vs Goldberg(c)-U.S. Title
  •Surprisingly Saturn controls the beginning of the match. Soon though, Goldberg nails the spear and the Jackhammer which spelled the end. Rating: 7/10

Eric Bischoff vs Vince McMahon
  •What a bunch of crap! Eric Bischoff issued a challenge to Vince and then they act surprised when he doesn't show up. How lame is that? I'd give them some negative points for this if I could.

Bret Hart vs Randy Savage-Roddy Piper as the referee
  •The first few minutes of this match only involved punching, kicking, and choking. Then they brawl outside and into the crowd. Hart then concentrates on Macho Man's bad knee. Hogan comes out and takes out the Macho Man's knee while Piper was down. Hart puts on the Sharpshooter and Macho has to tap. Rating: 8/10

The Outsiders(c) vs Sting and the Giant-Tag Team Titles
  •Sting and Hall start it out. Then the Giant is tagged in and Nash as well, coming in with a full head of steam. The Giant does his butt bumps in the corner which look extremely bad. Kind of a strange match. The Outsiders were acting like heels, but getting face pops. The Giant was heel, but Sting is always face. So it was heel/face versus face/face. That's WCW for you. Good match I guess, but pretty slow. Nash goes for the Jacknife on the Giant, but Hall nails him with a title belt! The Giant and Sting are the new Tag Team Champions. Hmmm...Rating: 7/10

Overall Show Rating
  •If only WCW could have kept this kind of a show up, they wouldn't have gone out of business. The only thing that really turned me off on this show was the Vince McMahon challenge. That was a very lame way to TRY to put your competition down. Rating: 7.5/10
