• A limousine pulled up to the arena, with Hollywood Hogan,
Eric Bischoff, The Disciple, and Elizabeth popping out to make
their ways to the ring.
• Hogan, Bischoff, Disciple, and Elizabeth were in the ring
for an interview. Eric Bischoff first pulled out a pen, noting
that he kicked Vader and Johnny B. Badd out of WCW with it, and
that it could happen to Eddie Guerrero. Hogan promised The
Warrior would not be at War Games. He was very confident that he
would win the Fall Brawl main event, and he also stated that
Goldberg would be his main focus afterwards.
• Match 1- Wrath vs. Mike Enos
-Wrath was onto every move Mike Enos used to attempt to gain the
advantage. Wrath picked up Enos, and nailed him with a powerslam
off the shoulders, to take the victory.
*Winner: Wrath via Pinfall
• Match 2- Kaz Hayashi vs. Dean Malenko
-Hayashi won over short-lived momentum in the match after hitting
Malenko with a summersault back-splash. Hayashi also executed two
surprising pinfall attempts in which Malenko barely kicked out.
However, Malenko was finally able to put Hayashi away after
executing the Texas Cloverleaf.
*Winner: Malenko via Pinfall
• Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, and Konnan came to the ring. The
three men first did their usual theatrics to pump up the crowd.
Nash told Hogan that if he wanted a war, he's going to get one.
Nash said that he's going to run this company, no matter who he
has to run through. He then asked Goldberg if he wanted to
"bury the hatchet," he would tag with him against Hogan
and The Giant. At that point, Goldberg's music hit the air, and
he was shown walking through the arena, with security guards. He
then came down to the ring and got right into Nash's face,
telling him that he'll tag with him.
• Match 3- Jim Niedhart vs. Konnan
-After Konnan slammed Niedhart's face into the mat, Konnan hooked
the Tequila Sunrise on Niedhart for the victory.
*Winner: Konnan via Submission
• Tony Schiavone interviewed Stevie Ray. Ray said he'll deal
with the NWO guys that slapped him around on Thunder. As Ray said
he was going back after his title, Booker T. made his return,
coming to the entrance way. Booker T. said he wanted to take some
time off from the ring so he could come back at 110% for the
fans. He then asked Ray "What the hell is going?,"
referring to Ray taking the TV Title. Ray said he's taken his
title and defended it. He told T. that the TV Title and Dillon
are coming between. Schiavone then told Ray that Booker T. is now
the No. 1 contender for the U.S. Title, which sent Stevie Ray
into a tirade. The match will take place later in the show, with
Booker T. going up against Bret Hart.
• Schiavone interviewed Diamond Dallas Page. Page called
Bischoff a fool. Page told Hogan that he can't steal his heart,
and there's no way he'll be kept from War Games. He then
challenged someone to step up to the plate to join him at War
Games. At that point, Rowdy Roddy Piper made his return as he
came down to the ring. He said he came here as the commissioner.
He told Page that his hard work has paid off. Piper said he had
dinner with people at Time Warner, and they were talking about
Bischoff. Piper said that he is the only person Bischoff can't
fire. He then announced that he will join up with Page at War
Games. He then said that before the program is over, he'll do
everything in his power to make a dream team, hinting that the
third man will be The Warrior.
• Match 4- Steve McMichael vs. Riggs
-Riggs controlled most of the matchup, using wear-down tacticts
to get that control. However, McMichael eventually used his power
advantage to win the matchup, using the Mongo Spike. Afterwards,
Horace Boulder entered the ring and nailed McMichael with a stop
sign. He and Sick Boy then attacked him. Seeing this, Dean
Malenko came down to the aid of McMichael. He took out Horace and
executed the Texas Cloverleaf on Sick Boy. With Sick Boy in The
Cloverleaf, Saturn came down and started to argue with Malenko.
He then went after Horace on the outside, but was also hit with a
stop sign. Eventually, McMichael and Malenko were able to clear
the ring. The two then shook hands after McMichael had put up the
4 fingers of the Horsemen.
*Winner: McMichael via Pinfall
• Match 5- Scott Norton (w/Vincent) vs. Rick Fuller
-Norton showed no repercussions from several Fuller maneuvers,
popping right up when one was executed. Norton easily won the
match, executing his Powerbomb for the victory. The match lasted
less than 2 minutes.
*Winner: Norton via Pinfall
• Scott Steiner and "Doc" (His "doctor")
came down to the ring. He first made some derogatory comments
about The Chicago Bulls, saying the sucked before Jordan and
they'll suck now that Jordan's gone. Steiner said himself and his
brother didn't have to wait until Fall Brawl to wrestle; they
could do it right now. The doctor then objected, but Steiner said
he had to go against his orders. He then ordered Rick Steiner to
come out. At that point, Buff Bagwell - dressed as Steiner - came
down to the ring. He then offered the option of either eating a
"Doggy treat" or wrestling him. Bagwell chose the
cracker. Steiner then told him to lay down and play dead, which
he did. Steiner then covered him for the pin, saying that that
will be exactly the outcome of the match between himself and his
brother.
• Match 6- Lex Luger vs. Brian Adams (w/Vincent)
-Vincent served as a big distraction for Luger during the match,
changing the whole complextion of the match at one point. After
Adams put his head down, Luger kicked him. He then executed three
straight lariats. After he powerslammed Adams, he montioned for
the Torture Rack. However, Vincent distracted him by attempting
to hit him from the top rope. He missed, but Adams attacked Luger
from behind. However, Luger was able to execute the Torture Rack
on Adams for the victory only a few seconds later.
*Winner: Luger via Submission
• The Warrior came down to the ring. This time, he made his
trademark entrance, running to the ring, and shaking the ropes.
His music is very similar to his music from the WWF. He said he
once looked upon Hogan as his mentor. He called Hogan the model
of a champion, being everything he tried to emulate. However, now
he doesn't see any of those attributes. He said Hogan's gravest
mistake will be that he never thought a man would come along,
knowing the difference between a rebellion and a revolution. He
told Hogan that his entire world will collapse tonight as he will
unleash his "One Warrior Nation" on Hogan. He said he
intends on showing the world that a revolution is based on
courage, not cowardliness. He told Hogan that next week the
revolution will continue.
• Match 7- Chris Jericho vs. Curt Hennig - *TV Title Match*
-At one point, Jericho was able to establish the Lion Tamer on
Hennig, but Hennig was able to reach the ropes. Quickly
thereafter, Hennig also attempted his finishing move, but Jericho
was able to block every attempt of the Hennig-plex. The bell then
rang and it was announced that it was ruled a Time Limit Draw.
The two continued to fight, until The Giant came down. The Giant
took Hennig by the throat and threw him to the mat. Jericho left,
with Hennig questioning why The Giant did that.
*Result: Time Limit Draw
• Bret Hart came to the ring. Hart said he's as nice as he's
ever been. He blamed the fans for corrupting the business. He
said the only guy he could respect was Hollywood Hogan. He said
that he still respect Sting, even though he's made a few bad
decisions. He then told Booker T. to prepare for one more
ass-kicking. Back from commercial, we saw that somebody had
attacked Booker T. Stevie Ray yelled at him, and told him that
he'll take the match for him. He went to the ring and confronted
Bret Hart. Hart said he had no idea who had beaten up his
brother. At that point, members of the NWO came down to the ring,
with Hennig carrying a NWO T-shirt. Hart said that they respect
him and that they want him to join up with them. Stevie Ray then
gave the NWO hand signal to all NWO members, showing that he is
the newest member of the NWO. He said his brother made his
choice, and he has made his.
• Match 8- Hollywood Hogan and The Giant (w/The Disciple)
vs. Goldberg and Kevin Nash
-After The Disciple had nailed Goldberg from behind with the WCW
Title Belt, Hogan garnered the advantage. Nash attacked Disciple,
but Hennig came out to take down Nash. Just as it seemed that
Goldberg was going to spear Hogan, Hennig, followed by other NWO
members came into the ring and attacked Goldberg. Wolfpac members
then came down to even up the odds. After the ring had been
cleared, Goldberg speared down Curt Hennig and then Jackhammered
him. He then secured the pin on Hennig. Hogan then attacked
Goldberg from behind. Nash tried to help, but missed Hogan with a
knee and accidentally hit Goldberg. The Giant then threw Goldberg
out of the ring. With NWO members in the ring, The Warrior, Roddy
Piper, and Dallas Page came down and cleared the ring of all NWO
members, standing alone in the ring. On the outside, Konnan
seperated Nash and Goldberg.
Winners: Goldberg and Nash via Pinfall
