Before the show officially kicked off, Scott Hall walked
into the arena, drunk, saying someone wrecked his cary. Security
official, Doug Dillenger, explained to Hall he wasn't in good
condition to be at the arena. Hall, however, said he was ready to
go, as he and Stevie Ray would take on Kevin Nash and Lex Luger
in the feature bout.
As the commentators announced Goldberg would celebrate his
one-year victory on Nitro, the ring lit up with smoke. When the
smoke cleared, an unconscious Disciple was seen in the ring. The
entire NWO-Hollywood stable made their ways out. As they entered
the ring, it lit up with smoke once again. This time, The
Disciple was gone. The Warrior was spotted high upon the arena,
surprisingly with the unconscious Disciple by his side. Hogan and
The Warrior taunted each other. Warrior announced he would take
away everything that was of value of Hogan. The Warrior continued
to taunt Hogan.
Match - Fit Finley vs. Barry Darsow
-Barry Darsow was able to get a few shots on Fit Finley. However,
the returning Finley took the overall advantage, and finished off
the match with the Tombstone Piledriver.
*Winner: Finley via Pinfall
Match - Wrath vs. Nick Dinsmore
-Wrath dominated the match and easily finished off Nick Dinsmore
with the Meltdown. Afterwards, Wrath continued to pound on
Dinsmore.
*Winner: Wrath via Pinfall
Match - Rick Steiner vs. Rick Fuller
-Before the match, Shawn Stockman, from the Boyz II Men music
band, was shown in the crowd, wearing a Wolfpac T-Shirt. Rick
Steiner quickly took the match, after the Bulldog from the
top-rope. Afterwards, Steiner claimed he never lost a match to
his brother, Scott Steiner, which basically stated he would
defeat his brother at Halloween Havoc. He also made it clear he
would make sure Buff Bagwell would have no part of the match. As
WCW went to a commercial break, that laughing voice was heard
again over the speakers.
*Winner: Rick Steiner via Pinfall
Hollywood Hogan made his way out, along with Eric
Bischoff, Vincent, and Stevie Ray. He called out The Warrior, and
said that it was between he and him -- not The Disciple. The
Warrior popped out by the entranceway, and told Hogan to follow
him. Hogan walked backstage, into his locker room. The walls were
filled with OWN (One Warrior Nation) logos, and were lit on fire.
Hogan walked into his bathroom, only to find The Disciple laying
on the floor. As Hogan walked in the bathroom cautionly, it lit
up with smoke. When it cleared up, The Disciple was gone.
Match - Raven and Saturn vs. Villano IV and V
-Before the match, Raven complained about his Flock leaving him.
As Raven and Kanyon nailed Villano IV with a combination of a
Powerbomb and Neckbreaker, Villano IV severely injured his neck.
Raven and Kanyon helped out Villano IV, while other trainers
making their ways down. The refere called the match. Villano IV,
amazingly, got right back up, and walked to the locker room, with
help from his partner and trainers.
*Result: No Contest
Pre-recorded footage was shown of Disco Inferno trying to
lose weight to the Cruiserweight limit. A trainer was weighing
Disco in a weight-room. Disco remained over the Cruiserweight
limit -- even when he took his shoes off. Disco continued to work
out, just to get a Cruiserweight Title shot at Kidman.
Alex Wright came out to the ring. Wright first insulted
all the Americans in the crowd. He said he's sick of the country,
the people in it, and WCW. He said Diamond Dallas Page disgusted
him the most. Wright then issued a challenge to Page for a match
later in the night. If Wright could beat Page, the stipulation
would be that he would take Page's title shot against Goldberg at
Halloween Havoc. After Wright continued to call out Page, Page
finally walked to the ring, through the crowd.
Match - Alex Wright vs. Diamond Dallas Page
-As soon as Page entered the ring, Wright attacked him and
dominated Page in the early portions of the match. However, out
of nowhere, Page was able to hit Wright with a Diamond Cutter for
the victory.
*Winner: Page via Pinfall
Okerlund interviewed Page. Page said everybody wants to be
the champ. Page said Goldberg quickly rose to glory while he has
had to fight for everything he's ever gotten. He said that he and
Goldberg both have huge hearts, and that at Havoc, Page will
bring every ounce of heart he has because he knows Goldberg will
do the same.
Match - Lenny Lane vs. Ernest Miller
-Before the match, Miller told Lane that he can easily take him
down, but he will give him five seconds to leave. As Lane was
about to leave the ring, Miller stopped him. Lane said he didn't
want to fight him if he didn't have to. Miller then wanted to
shake his hand, and when he did, Miller kicked Lane in the
throat. During the match, Scott Hall, in a drunk stupor, came
down to the ring. Hall waited outside the ring and wanted to
wrestle the main event match. Dusty Rhodes came down and told
Hall that he's going to throw his entire career out if he
continues like this. Rhodes then escorted a defiant Scott Hall
backstage. Back in the ring, Miller won the match with a Spinning
Round-house Kick.
*Winner: Miller via Pinfall
Backstage, Disco Inferno continued to workout, trying to
get below the Cruiserweight weight limit. When the WCW official
came back with the scale, Inferno had dropped below the
Cruiserweight weight limit.
Match - Jerry Flynn vs. Saturn
-During the match, Saturn went to the outside and set up a table
at ringside. Only a few minutes later, the table finally came
into play. After Saturn threw Flynn into the outside steal
corner, he set him up on the table and executed a splash from the
top. Saturn then rolled him into the ring and executed the Death
Valley Driver for the win.
*Winner: Saturn via Pinfall
Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell came to the ring. Steiner
said that nobody in Boston knows how to win, especially their
sports teams. He said "Boston Sucks." He said Hogan has
sent him out here to find out what's going on with Bret Hart and
where he stands. Steiner said that Hart doesn't have the option
of leaving, only the NWO tells him when to leave. He then called
Hart out to the ring. At that point, Bret Hart with a knee brace
around his right knee, came down to the ring. As soon as Hart
entered the ring, Bagwell and Steiner quickly attacked the knee
of Bret Hart. A few moments later, Sting came down and chased off
the NWO members, saving Hart. As Scott Steiner was standing on
the outside, Rick Steiner attacked his brother and chased him
backstage.
Match - Disco Inferno vs. Kidman - *WCW Cruiserweight
Title Match*
-Inferno was very winded after training for 2 hours before the
match. Kidman dominated the match for a very long time, but every
time Kidman would attempt a pin, Inferno kicked out. During the
match, Lodi came down to the ring and pleaded with Kidman to come
back with him. With Kidman distracted by Lodi, Inferno came up
from behind and delivered a piledriver. However, Kidman kicked
out a pin attempt just in time. Following that, both individuals
came within a fraction of a second of winning the match at
several points. Kidman finally won this match after nailing
Inferno with the Shooting Star Press. Following the match, the
strange laughter once again returned.
*Winner: Kidman via Pinfall
Match - Chavo Guerrero, Jr. vs. Konnan
-Konnan did his usual theatrics to warm up the crowd before the
match. Guerrero then took the microphone and said that everyone
loves him just as much as Konnan. He then asked Konnan if he
could be in the Wolfpac and Konnan shook his head. Guerrero then
wanted Kevin Nash to come down, but Konnan quickly attacked
Guerrero to start the match. Once the fight took to the outside
of the ring, Konnan used both a chair and the steal ring steps to
get the momentum back in the match. Konnan was finally able to
win the long, grueling match after making Guerrero submit to the
Tequila Sunrise.
*Winner: Konnan via Submission
Eric Bischoff and Elizabeth came to the ring. Bischoff
said he has built the largest and most successful wrestling
organization in American and tomorrow he'll go to Japan and do
the same. Bischoff then said that Flair won't be on Nitro. He
said Flair made a mistake in believing that he can wrestle on his
show. He said as far as he's concerned, he'll never wrestle
again. He told Flair that the last thing he needs is to be
wrestling at his age. Only a few minutes later, the New Horsemen
theme hit the air and Ric Flair and the rest of the horsemen came
down to the ring. However, Doug Dillenger and security prevented
Flair and horsemen from getting to the ring. However, Flair was
somehow able to talk Dillenger into letting him and the horsemen
pass. The five men then entered the ring. Flair called Bischoff a
liar for saying Flair wasn't going to be there and that the
horsemen were dead. Bischoff continued to taunt Flair into
hitting him, but Flair wouldn't do it. He said he wanted to, but
it's not going to happen tonight. He said the only reason he
wouldn't hit him is because he doesn't have another 2 million
dollars. Flair brought up the fact that Bischoff wouldn't let him
see his son in a National wrestling tournament. In response to
that, Flair told Bischoff to "Suck it." Flair told
Bischoff that he's sitting on a big contract because of guys like
himself, Arn, Hall, Luger, and Sting. Bischoff told Flair there's
no room in WCW for him. Flair then brought up the fact that he
introduced Hogan to Flair. Bischoff said that Flair has done
nothing compared to what Hogan has done for the industry. Flair
then said that he and the horsemen will be in Norfolk for
Thunder, much to the chagrin of Bischoff. The segment ended with
all members of the horsemen holding up the horsemen hand signal
in the face of Bischoff.
Match - The Giant and Stevie Ray vs. Lex Luger and Kevin
Nash
-The Giant filled in for Scott Hall who was in no condition to
wrestle the match. During the match, Scott Hall came over the
commentator's booth. Hall questioned why he wasn't being able to
wrestle tonight. Hall said he carried Nash his entire career and
he is going to show how tough Nash really is. He then slowly
walked towards the ring. As the referee attempted to keep Hall
out of the ring, Hall simply took him and threw him out of the
ring. Hall then motioned for Luger to tag in Nash, which he did.
Nash then punched Hall once and Hall fell flat on his face. From
there, The Giant came in and nailed Nash from behind. Stevie Ray
and The Giant then left the ring after Luger came back with
chair. Hall once again tried to attack Nash, but Nash simply
threw him over the ropes. As Ray and Giant helped Hall backstage,
Nash took the microphone and told Hall he lost his best friend
because he doesn't know who he is anymore. Nash then challenged
Hall to a match for Halloween Havoc, which Hall appeared to have
accepted.
*Result: No Contest
Hogan and Eric Bischoff came to the ring. Hogan
immediately told The Warrior to come down to the ring. Warrior
then appeared in the entrance way. From behind the Warrior, The
Disciple appeared and stood next to him. Disciple then turned
around, showing that "OWN" was written on the back of
his vest. Disciple is apparently now on the side of The Warrior
and the One Warrior Nation. Hogan was shocked at these turn of
events.
